I don't play it but I don't think its soft. I think Buffalo Thunder is generally tougher than Sandia because there's a lot of regs that have been playing together for a long time (in August 2008, the poker room moved from Cities of Gold to BT, I used to go to Cities and I still see the same crowd from those days). Lately, a 20/40 mixed game has been running more than the 5/5 PLO/PLO8 game that was running a lot last year. Both of those games attract the better regs and the regs that are scared of it always say its crazy and you need to sit with a lot of money (read: more than they can afford). As a 1/2NL player, I love when either 20/40 or 5/5 are running because the better, more aggressive players sit over there and 1/2 becomes a limpfest of the fishiest regs, plus some Texans on vacation there to play golf during the day/gamble at night. Of course a lot of people move back and forth between BT and Sandia, depending on how high the bad beat jackpot is at Sandia.
On the other hand, any game at BT is probably soft by 2+2 standards. The advantage of playing a bunch of regs that have been playing each other for years is that they live in a vaccuum. They just play, they don't study, they don't follow poker news, they don't care much about the WSOP(or tournaments in general, most of the time scheduled tournaments get canceled so don't ever drive to BT hoping to play a tournament) and only a few of them ever go to Vegas.
I'm kinda liking it there lately, but i've been running like god there since Black Friday.
