Default Live O8 players are worse then Party players

I am visiting my brother who lives near an Indian casino, so I decided to check out their O8 game and it was the juiciest game I have ever seen in my life.

It was a 3/6 kill game in which I made about 30/hr and didn't rush the entire time that I was there. I felt like I had an average session, missed the usual amount of draws, got sucked out about the right amount of times and didn't get a ton of playable hands. I really believe that I could maintain that win rate for an extended period of time.

Three hands that really stand out:

Hand 1: I am still on the waiting list so I standing at the end of the table watching the game. The board is 267810 3 diamonds. The first player flips over Ad 2d XX. The players right in front of me picks up his hand and compares it to the board and because I am standing behind him I see he is playing A567. The player looks at the board, looks back at his hand, looks at the board and mucks.

Hand 2: This is a kill pot so we are playing 6/12. UTG raises which almost never happens in this game so he is playing a strong A2 (AA2, A23, ...). UTG+1 calls. The flop is 7c 8c Th. The turn is 6c and the river is the Tc. UTG bets every street. UTG flips over AA2 and UTG+1 flips over 4567. He called a river bet with the ass end of a str8 on a paired / flushed board. He ended up winning the top 1/2 and goes on to tell the other players that he loves those middle wraps because he doesn't have to worry about the low.

Hand3: I am playing Ac Ad 3c 4d OTB. Everyone at the table (except my brother) limps, I raise, everyone calls. Flop is Kd 2d 5c. UTG bets the entire table calls, I raise, UTG 3 bets, 4 callers. Long story short, I ended up rivering the nut flush and he bet into me again. He ended up flipping over KK59, and then berates me about my play and how I sucked out on him. I wanted him to shut up (he was very annoying) so I told him that "actually I was a little ahead of him". He then claimed that I couldn't have been ahead of him because he had a made hand and a draw can never be ahead of a made hand.

If I lived down here I would almost never play online. This was a 3/6 kill game that the players were MUCH worse then a .5/1 party table.
