Played my first live plo game yesterday. Was listed online as a 1-3 game but was essentially a 2-5 game, with min raise open required to be at least $10 and often times people were straddling $10 so it played pretty deep. I didn't know this before going so I brought $600 with me which doesn't go very far and I was basically playing between 20-30bb deep. Played similar to plo10 or plo5 online, definitely worse than plo25, limpfest around, nobody was under 50%vpip and some were 75%+. (10-max)
It was actually a mixed plo and plo8 game, haven't played a hand of plo8 in over a year and have less then 10k hands lifetime. Totally not prepared for that. I watched Doug polk play plo8 for like 20 minutes within the last two weeks but that was heads up so pretty useless.
Had to wait over 2 hours to get a seat (only one game running), other than NL which I don't think I could beat NL25 so I refused to play that. Nothing to do while waiting and I refuse to play -EV games at the casino (I'm a buzzkill) I basically sat nearby and chatted with the players and watched. Seemed like everybody else knew each other on a first name basis, they were all asking me questions about where I normally play. I said I never played at this casino before and a friend told me to try it out. (They could smell the BS far away on that) They poked and prodded and asked if I played at basically every casino in a 5 hour drive, and I decided to go with the line that I play 10-25 buck homegames with friends. Half the table were basically licking their lips and trying to get someone to leave so I could sit. Nobody would leave though because they all wanted to play with me. I found this extremely hilarious, I was also asking all kinds of stupid question, like can I read the rules and basic poker questions to drive the point home. I also got asked a couple strategy questions on what I would do which was so obvious they were trying to gauge my skill level so I threw out the stupidest lines I could think of that might be believable and somehow they were agreeing with me. (This was like half the fun of the night was playing the stereotypical fish and since I had never actually played live before the acting was kind of believable because I had a hard time dealing with chips).
When I finally got my seat I got to play for like 3 hours before the game broke but it was a lot of fun. I played absolutely terrible, their terrible passive fishness rubbed off on me the first hour or two and I didn't actually play my normal game not much before it broke. It took me a long time to adjust to how bad everyone was. I did get to abuse my image hard postflop though, since I played about 25% vpip everyone assumed I was some uber nit post so after everyone limps for 10 bucks I get to double barrel and collect every pot I want.
They did ask if I was an online player when I cashed so out so the jig is up there but the game was so soft it doesn't matter. I ended up leaving with slightly more than I brought and I had a lot of fun. Will probably go back after I get some PLO8 hands in and actually study it. I think hourlies of 100+ are possible once I learn plo8 and actually play my A game.
Just wanted to share my first time playing in a casino, it was a lot of fun. Cheers and sorry for the huge post.

Gotta post something into cyberspace again.. i am very stressed about what utter bs is happening to me at plo100 while taking shot :
At the same time everytime i step to plo50, i am just murdering it, i played some extra hands since my last graph :
I kinda dont want to believe i can go from almost 9bb to b/e and there is only 1 stake difference ... there gotta be mental problems again -.- .. i remember same thing was happening to me when i was playing plo25 and shoting to plo50.. my first 200K hands at plo50 were -4bb/100 while plo25 something like +11bb

It's hard to know if someone is trolling or beeing serious as of late
I'd like to hear other opinions but I'm raising her 100% against these type of players.
There are a ton of hands he could be value betting that we crush.
