Some insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
The 2/5 plays deeper than a normal 2/5 with being able to match biggest stack. Buy-ins are 200-1000. Not uncommon to have 2-3 players with 2-3k, and a few short stacks. Most players buy in for 500-1000.
The 1/2 going live has hurt the 2/5 games. I wouldn't play during the week, weekend games, of course, are better. With 1 or 2 games running it's usually bad. If you get 4+ tables you can find a good one. There are a few good regs, maybe 1 or 2 per table, a few bad regs 2-3 per table and the rest are droolers. I just look for the deepest stacked game and try to get a seat/table change to it.
The 5/5 PLO is great. But it plays super deep with matching the biggest stack. Not uncommon for everyone to have 5k min with stacks up to 15k.
1/2 PLO is starting to run a decent amount on the weekends, it's a 100-200 no matching.
They also have a $250 deepstack tourneyon Sat and Sun. 2/5 games get better after people start busting out of those.
Games are nothing like they are during the WsopC though. Still good but not like that.
