Gotta get my foot into that game where you have 4 cards, luckily I hear finns get an extra +2bb/100 at the 4 card game for being a finn.
Unlucky, but surely you could see this was coming? The writing was on the wall 5 years ago. Anyone getting into online poker after about 2011, with an aim to make a long term career from it, was foolish unless they were already crushing midstakes.

Yeah PLO has got much tougher over the last few years. I see many guys on 2+2 recommend playing PLO because it's "full of fish", but that's simply not the case. When you add in the insane variance, all the coinflips and high rake, it's near enough impossible to beat unless you're at a table full of droolers.
