Max and average buy-in, how big the game plays, how good the action is, etc.
Thanks fellas!
PLO: No max buyin. A guy who goes every day buys in over $10K. At 1/3. Average stacks are around $500. Game skews kind of nitty, a lot of people there are exiles from Prime who nut peddle all day. The game is must-move and as you move through the tables, they usually get nittier and nittier. The game would be okay were it not for the must-move, but it's pretty punishing on long sessions. Game definitely kicks up at night, and especially near close, so stopping at 9 is not ideal.
On a related note, must-moves have to be one of the stupidest ways to organize a poker room. As in, literally more stupid than just reshuffling randomly. Survivorship bias stops the games from ever getting good unless a fish happens to run up a stack, and most of them quit when they do.
Absolutely hate it.
