Any idea why it thinks I'm so bad?

Its way off (I range around 1200-1700 ELO depending on sober I wanna be when I play). I do play relatively eccentrically with a penchant for sacrifices and a insatiable desire for tempo and exploration of lines I am unfamiliar with but its still way off with its initial assessment.

If the opening is rated as sufficiently bad, it would adjust its play accordingly and perhaps not challenge you sufficiently to be able to change its rating estimate. I.e. if you get a very easy, tactical game after that, the game might not be testing your abilities enough to revise the estimate from one game.
