Where have all the PLO8/NLO8 games on FTP gone?

Seems like there is nobody playing anymore. Very tough to get games started on there. And any games that start at 2-4 and higher fizzle out right away. Could the higher minimum buy-ins really have cause all this lack of traffic.

Re: Where have all the PLO8/NLO8 games on FTP gone?

Yea me, you, jj, and scott are the only ones looking to start them. I excluded sponsored bc he really is only looking for hu. I usually just end up playing jj hu in an effort to start the games but no one comes. Scott attracted the most people and tables and still does attract more than us. I dont know why more people dont come up bc the money can be pretty loose even between regs so makes no sense....they simply fizzle out because the sessions arent sustainable for most....they either are content with their quick win and bank it, or lose it all and can't afford to rebuy....

I don't have the bankroll for 2/4 or else I'd be there with you guys. I think full tilt should offer some sort of bonus for getting tables started..nothing too crazy so it doesn't get abused but just a little incentive.

Not sure if you're aware of it or not, but these exist. Google it I guess.

I will be there in 2 months, hopefully. As soon as my stars role is up to par. Expect some domination.

Re: Where have all the PLO8/NLO8 games on FTP gone?

It's not exactly like our limit games have huge waitlists and there is a new player movement. Us regulars are playing each other eveyday and there is no middle limit games any longer, it's jumping straight from 2-4 to 8-16 or 15-30 most days.

I'm playing mixed games more often and the transistion is starting to suck... Can't 4 table games with stud involved.

I've noticed it, it seems to be at 50 & 100 too. I tried to get some tables going last night and it took a half an hour to even get them started.

It seems to have started last Friday night. I wasn't on sat & sun, but Friday, Monday and Tuesday have been dead.

Re: Where have all the PLO8/NLO8 games on FTP gone?

Too many pros..u have the $2/4 and $5/10 players playing .25/.50 and .50/1 and they are killing action...also Horse and other non holdem games have caused this...a few years ago if u didnt like holdem, stud8 and omaha8 were the only options and this isnt the case anymore.

Re: Where have all the PLO8/NLO8 games on FTP gone?

I agree, though am not on the same site as you. The "pros" are willing to sit lower and lower, and no one is willing to sit hu vs a reg to get a higher game started. and then there's a bunch of game selectors out there who only want to play when the game dictates it makes sense. my 2 cents.

Not sure I follow, are you saying "o8 is down because the players that used to play it are now playing rush poker?" or "o8 is not going to grow until rush poker offers o8?"

What I meant was the first one. I have no idea (nor do I care) what O8 rush would do to the games. Worst comes to worst I have mad tables over at Stars anyway. BRING ON TEH O8 RUSHAMENTZ!
