It's really just the 5/10 at Seven Mile on weekdays. I don't believe the game at O/11 has run much at all on fridays. Occasionally with the right people we'll get a 5/5 running on a saturday, but that's a game we have to build ourselves and based on who shows up that day, and often it's either a good 5/5 NL that will run all day/night or a super juicy 5/5 PLO that will only survive while those 6-7 people, plus the occasional straggler, are there. The house clearly prefers the NL game too, so it can be a struggle.
the 5/10 has seemed pretty good, but not as good as it was earlier in the summer. a few more of the old 10/25 regs from the palomar are showing up, a few NL pros/regs are moving over there playing very tight fit-or-fold and fairly shallow, and it's tougher to get a seat in general. but when the right whales show up, it's amazing as always. it's still almost certainly a better game than the NL, but the only thing they have in common are the blinds really.
