I'm there regularly. It's an interesting transitional area, kind of at the 3-way connection between an ugly mass of freeways, Pendleton which is sort of the beginning of all the hip stuff in Over-the-Rhine, and the good ol' classic American downtown that tends to clear out nights and weekends. The path to the waterfront/ballpark goes through the downtown.
I wouldn't take a
ton of cash through there but in general, and especially on a game day, it should be fine. Lots of people come by after a Reds game. You can probably save by parking, playing an hour, going to the game, coming back, playing some more, etc. but don't blame me if that goes badly wrong.

Until recently 4 card held its own well and it depended on who started the game any given day. In the last 3 months 5c has been pretty dominant.

I've always found the low stakes very tight and the 2/5 can be tight as well unless there's an action Player at the table.
In PLO?! Either way I'd never call the small games tight. Most weekday evenings the 1-2-5 PLO has maybe average 5 to the flop. Some days it's very passive and no one even open-raises without AAxxx. Other days there's a reliable raiser playing 80/60 and you can get in your limp/reraises. But almost never tight, and if so, wait 15 minutes.
I've only played 5-5 PLO a few times. It was good each time, as loose preflop as 1-2-5 but much more aggressive.
1-3 HE is 1-3 HE... .ok, occasionally tight weekdays
for 1-3 but nothing like optimal play. 2-5 NLHE can vary and has some skilled LAGTAGs. Within 10 minutes you'll either see a lot of limps and cold-calls or know it's time to go play PLO.
