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?

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.

last night was fun.

+50 BB's.

does this hand demonstrate good game selection?

two limpers, i limp AATT DS, raise, call, we all call.

5 players, raised pot.

Flop

A-K-3

flop is capped four ways.

I think so.

100 PLO8
Villain has been potting preflop with crap like A5Jx rainbow, but rarely showing her raises. At the end of my session, swung down 65BBs but now up about 10BBB when I am in position on her with AA35s. I limp, expecting the pot raise with crap, it comes but she has AA8J rainbow, so I raise 2/3 the max, she reraises I pooosh, flop comes with two lows, turn flushes me and river completes the low, it was preordained to be my last hand, makes me about 25 more BBs, turning it into a good night. Wish the guy who was there who also was busting her crap raises was still there to see it, but I still type in "Finally got you" before the apparent hit and run when I get up. LMFAO.

Brag: I had given up online poker for the past few weeks, as I prepared to move to Vegas and concentrate on live poker. But I got an email from FT about a bonus offer for $300, so I put $300 online last Wednesday and started 4 tabling(would be more, but I'm currently at my parent's house with only one monitor) $.25/$.50 PLO8 and NLO8, and decided that I'd need 8 buy ins to move up to the next limit. One week later I sit at $3700 in my account and am playing $1/2 and $2/4.

How often does this happen to you guys? My last three sessions are like identical triplets. I sit down and within two 3-tabling orbits I'm down one to one and a half buyins based on one donk hand and several sucker or quartering hands. I then continue to dwindle for anywhere from one to two more hours, ending down between one plus and almost three buyins, then in the last half hour I've just cured the monkeytilt, get dealt all the good cards that were missing for three hours, and end up getting anywhere from 2/3 to more than all of it back. Bottom line I'm down half a buyin for the three days... If I showed a graph of the bankroll for each session it would literally look like three fraternal stock indexes tracking oh so close to each other. With such high variance this seems beyond improbable. Just curious if this sounds at all familiar.
