Would I be wrong to say that these guys couldn't care less about a $3/6 game and are just there to fulfill their contractual obligations and gamble it up?

my opinions based on online play, hearsay, and televised broadcasts:

Greg Raymer's strongest games are tournaments (obviously) and limit cash games such as HORSE. Personally, I'm dubious of his big-bet expertise.

Joe Hachem's strongest games are NLHE and tournaments, he plays PLO8 like a NLHE player would and probably misses many nuances of O8 in general.

Do they care about winning or losing when they play online? Raymer talks about bad beats and outdraws while he is playing, so he seems to be playing intently. They both also seem to tilt when they lose online, which I think is some indication of caring.

I haven't seen evidence they don't care at all. I have seen pros on fulltilt playing monkey games with each other for far more cash than this.

Generally if you catch someone playing out of his limits its a dream oportunity. Playing someone who got into a game far over his usuall stakes is good, but playing someone who just has some fun at "play money" stakes is absolutly great.
And patience is crucial in PLO8.

valuetown! I think a lot of this game is realizing you already are winning half, and getting them to call thinking they can win the other with just top pair or something. i was trying to c/r the flop apparently, kind of annoying

Must be, they said they missed me because I hadn't been to their tables for a while.
