I have put in 1000+ hours in my local 4-8 HE game. I play the correct starting hands, use my position well, check raise, make plays for free cards and attempt to read the other players at the table. Reading the other players is nearly impossible considering that the people who frequent this game will play with completely random starting hands. I think that monkeys could play as well as the people I play with. SO WHY AM I LOSING!? Is it standard deviation, or am I not as good as I think I am? What am I missing?

I am an expert Blackjack player who has averaged a win rate of one big bet per hour over the last 8 years. I am used to being able to find a weak game and exploit it. So why cant I exploit this weak HE game?

Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.
