hey man
I played a lot of these with good results mostly $3.50 and $7 6 max.
If this is your only sample then it can deffo be crap to start off with not winning as it knocks confidence.
I can't offer any solid advice as I don't want to give you incorrect info so I'll just say that when I played them I was deffo beating them but I did have huge drops and swings and break even stretches with my red line.
I assumed this might be due to card distribution like running into everyone's top of the range when calling and jamming. I actually stopped playing them because I lacked the confidence but they are IMO one of the best games to be playing at the small stakes $3.50-$7 if you can handle swings.
Try to get in contact with other hyper players if poss they should have some better advice than mine!
