What games are in the 20/40 mix that runs Sundays per Bravo? How many tables run? How late do the games run?

Yes. We spread a 75/150 mixed game regularly, and have started having a 20/40 mixed game every weeekend.

FYI, the games in the mix typically include most of the following:
Hold'em
PLO (structure varies, typically 5/5/10 or 25/25 with a $1500 or $2000 cap)
Big O (pot limit, same structure as PLO)
Omaha 8
2-7 TD
Badugi
Badacey
Badeucey
Stud-8

Looks like a great mix. Are the big bet games in the 20/40 too? Is it hard to get a seat or if I show up at the time given in Bravo am I good to go? And does the game actually run weekly or is loonybird right?

I haven't played the 20/40 mix in ages, so I might be totally off here, but no, I don't think the big bet games are in it.

Players have a habit of trying to manipulate which game they spread to try to isolate a weak player. It’s bad for the games at the limits immediately above and below...

Are the "Bring In" Games listed in Poker Atlas the available three blind Games?

And to clarify "Bring In" games are literally Games with Three Blinds, or is the "Bring In" a forced Min Bet to whoever is the first Bettor.

I assume he's asking about games like 1/2 PLO which is listed as:
Blinds $1/$2
Bring In $$5

I don't think bring in is really the correct terminology here because it's not a bring in like in a stud game where it's a forced bet. Better is to think of it as $1/$2 blinds $5 to call. Ie you can't limp for $2 a limp is $5.

We will have more information available on the room move soon. Details should be released in early April. And the clarification on the games is correct as listed. It is also correct that we will be going to 9 handed games in 2/5 NL when we move. We are also considering allowing call ins for 2/5 at that time.

Wasn't Bravo experimenting with allowing players to sign up for lists via the app for a while? Not sure what happened to that. It'd be nice to have a way to "phone-in" without calling and potentially even open it to all games. There are times when I'd be able to make a trip if I could call in for 1/3 but it's not worth it to sit in traffic and end up 30 or 40 deep on the list when i don't have long to play. Though I guess if we get a new expanded room soon long lists for 1/3 should be rare.

So "Bring In" means basically no limping allowed - initial bettor Pre-Flop is obligated to raise pot (in those specific games).

And "Bring In" is a.k.a and sometimes referred to as a "three blind game" correct?

In PLO this typically is done in games where they want to require the bets to in $5 increments so you make it $5 to call .

Also typically in bring-in games the pot is rounded up to the nearest $5. So the pre-flop raise is to $15 even though normally in $1/2 it should only be to $7. It's the $5 bring-in plus the $3 blinds rounded up to $5 plus the pot-sized raise of then $10. Good for the game/action, also keeps things moving quickly without having many white chips on the table.
