I think the games were nuts at the beginning of the year and was shocked and delighted to see so much running. Now I feel like it's back where I'm used too and still very soft. I think most of the regs are pretty bad and anyone who shows their supernova thing just makes money on fpps. Games are still quite beatable upto 3/6 and probably higher I just haven't played them in a while. Just remember that there is variance in this game, even if it's less than holdem you still can get beat by those morons, but they give it back and then a lot more.
Well, with minimal exceptions, the $1/2 FR games on stars have been *beyond* nitty.. In the span of 5 orbits, I stole 4 blinds and got 3 walks the other night. I don't mind treading water/breaking even, but I'd at least want FPPs for my trouble to compensate the rake a tad.

What time do you typically play? There are def times where less games run and are nittier but my schedule seems to work that I can get in a good session at night and sometimes during the day. Don't go back to holdem, it's the devil!!
I play mainly 9PM-3AM US PST.. And yeah, I've actually sat in on quite a few of your tables. I'd say hey, but usually It's a throwaway .5/1 o8b table or two while I focus on two tables of $1/2 HORSE. It's really getting to the point that I'm thinking exposing HORSE players in Razz/Stud8/O8b is a lot more profitable than playing o8b tables where it's tight as a drum.

this is why i only play plo8. one day when i feel comfortable losing a few hundred i will try lo8 again at 5/10 where the rake doesn't really matter. unless you game select tenaciously (or you're really good) i suspect the games aren't that beatable.
I got a list a page long of people where I won't sit at a table if there is more than 2 of them FR. There's a second list of people who are also regs that I don't mind playing against in the least.

I think Seal hit the nail on the head about the new year, though.. I think by mid-feb those who have resolved to play "tighter and better" will revert to old styles and it'll get better.
