Zoom PLO avg VPIP at that moment 20%. Really hard to gain an edge that would beat the rake against 20/16/8 nitregs.

4 table cap has killed cash games at Stars. Situation is now that all regs table hopping. As soon as a target player/good customer leaves the table, all regs start to look for better table. Most of them are playing 4 tables but are on waiting list for others. In case they need a new one. It's really annoying to play, as most of the regs are really tight. So a good table might change to ****** up avg vpip 20% as soon as one player leaves.
I can't understand what Stars is doing, it looks like they are doing everything they can to kill the site.
Raked $156 today, got 804 coins from chests and freespins. Won 4,94 from spins as I got a bit lucky. Total rakeback value almost $13, so running well over EV in that. Lucky me! 
Don't you want to play against tight players?
Especially those that fold a lot to 3Bets?
(might be different playing PLO)
No. As equities run close, it's very hard to gain enough edge versus tight and strong preflop range. Rake is 15bb/100 so to make money your edge needs to be bigger than that.
3betting tight players wide is not good, as no one folds to 3bets that much and their range is strong.
Raked $240 so far, got Stars rakeback worth of 19,24 so far. Running so pure! 
Part time, yes. I will quit my current dayjob in the middle of August. And then play poker and enjoy life for at least 3 months. I am doing some shifts at my current job though.
Got couple chests, win 11,98 from freespins (rungood is real!). I have over 1K coins, but will change those to money in the end. Rakeback so far 31,22. Raked 294.
OMFG. Day of setups, down $800 in PLO50. Constant streak of setups in 3bet pots, like hitting 2nd nut boats versus boats, backdoor vs backdoor etc. Regs calling flop pot sized raises with only backdoors, and making them.
Games were -$200 in total, and with the bonus rakeback was 208 in cash, 25 in points and 31 from spins. Total 265, which is slightly over 50%.
Now I will stay as far as possible from Star. *puke*
I don't play poker every day. But when I do, I win the leaderboard.

Got justice-moment too. All-in on the flop, straight+fd versus top2+nfd.

you have new SN 
and had a pretty nice stack yesterday. grats to leaderboardw in, how many tables and hours?
Was forced to change it. 
At GG I can play 12 tables, and I estimated that 20-30% rakeback is good enough even if game itself is breakeven. Now it's a bit different, 4K hands a day means around $300 rake. With 10% that is only $30 a day.
Played few hands at RIO, got a decent pot there:
Spoiler
Money went in on the turn, he check-raised me and I shoved. When he had bare 42 I didn't even realize at first that he has 0%. I was sure he had something like same straight or set+fd.
In the evening, tested GG Rush&Cash. EV wise, not a problem. Reality wise, nightmare. Running 10 buyins under EV in 1,2K hands. Nothing holds, nothing hits. Leaderboard leader is 50bb short stacker Chinaman, who has VPIP 60. Hits almost every flop vs me.
If I would list here all the bad beats from that session, this blog would be 75+ pages long.
I really can't remember when was the last time I had a run good. Seems that I am having nightmare session after nightmare session.
Overall at GG PLO I am running over $1000 under EV. I really hope the tide turns in August.

Nice PLO8 hand 
Lol, got another 40% rakeback Chest from stars. Went there, and Gold Chest required 7500 points to open. For that amount, I thought it should be somewhat good. After all, it too $65 rake to open it.
I got 10 coins (value 10 cents) and 5 free spins (no idea about the value, but won $1). $1,10 rakeback after raking $65. Normal.
But now, my second Gold chest costs 48500 points!!! I mean what the actual F*CK?!! From 7500 to 48500 just like that. And that 48K Chest has same value as 7K Chest.
Even that 40% rakeback starts to feel pretty bad now, as I can't get anything else. They have nice Vault Promotion, but it requires to open Chests. If I rake that remaining $435, I will barely open that 48500 Chest.
Why is it that the two biggest networks (Stars and GG) are so full of sh*t?
I suppose no need to give more than scraps for networks if they still stay biggest doing so?
Nope. Plan was to do one yesterday, but didn't have time. Today and tomorrow I am on a fishing trip. I wish I will have time on Thursday.
Who'd knew that not going to work would be this busy?
Shh, it's so quiet in here...
Anyway, just thought to let you know that there will be a live stream at Saturday evening. I will get home from a football game at around 21cet.
Next week, there are couple of neat treats. At Tuesday, PLO Primetime goes HUD and at Wednesday Nikolaj from PokerJuice will join me at my Twitch for a webinar about the new PokerJuice Cloud! Don't miss any of these!
