Bad beat after bad beat is a good sign, not a bad one.
I believe you about obnoxious players. There have always been a good # of obnoxious players at Winstar and throughout the Dallas scene. Most obnoxious player I've ever played with was at Peaks poker room right before it transitioned to Poker House. Won't go into details but pretty sure any legit poker room would have had security on him within 30 seconds of him entering the door. TCH is generally better about handling obnoxious players, although I'll never forget the player who often frequented TCH Dallas (perhaps still does?) that you could smell consistently from 2 tables over. I heard he got kicked out for it sometimes but it was still happening and I'd rather have to deal with the constantly loud obscene and obnoxious guy than that odor.

Players don't like to fold. With the straddles and what not, it's pretty common to see first action raise to $25 or $30 in the 1/2 game.
Unfortunately the 2/5 plays tiny compared to the 2/5 that used to run at TCH Dallas.

Playing against loose passives is more profitable than playing against loose aggressive players. Back in the day Winstar 2/5 was an absolute gold mine with all the loose passives playing there.
