I don't agree. PLO has become a VERY hot game in many poker rooms, particularly at nearby FW. The best way to describe it to those who those unfamiliar with it is it's super hold'em. Still your best 2 cards play. Usually people curious will give it a shot after you explain it like that. Mohegan regs seem to not be interested at all and that's fine.
I notice Mohegan is a much nittier room in general than FW. Much closer knit group of regs due to the smaller player pool. Definitely a friendlier room than fw, but the much more tighter/casual player pool is not conducive to PLO running regularly. That's OK.
Mohegan is my favorite room of the big three in the area (other two being Twin river and FW). Best atmosphere and comps hands down. Just not a ton of games to choose from and they tend to play much smaller than the other 2 rooms, so I'm there the least.
But I do genuinely like Mohegan and am making it a habit to check bravo there frequently in case bigger games or PLO break out. My hope is plo becomes bigger here so I can stop going to FW altogether, but I'm not holding my breath.
