Found a short BI (50BB) 6max PLO game tonight. True Poker usually does not have any of these games running, so I decided to gamble with just 2BI.

Played a short session (only 1/2hr) and booked a $19.64 profit before the table broke.

Hobbes

Dude in the BB loved to raise a lot.
Guess at no point does he think I have Aces, even though I am running 30/21.

easy game, when SB doesnt slow it down......online is a hard place to get someone to lay down AA Ive seen, that works out well often enough course HA...and live peeps dont lay down AA that much but mroe live than online least for me I give it up more often....it sucks and hurts giving up AA

That's the site I cut my teeth on before I made the leap to real money poker one Hobbes! I actually liked the interface back then, have no idea what it's like now.

GTA Poker

I used to be a reg in the 1/2 and 2/5nl games circa 2002...I liked the 3d tables back then. Made 1-2 tabling online tolerable. Also the site had a small player pool so note taking made the games quite soft.

Hobbes

Still a small site with lots of gooey softness.

Biggest issues I have is:
1) Very few if any PLO games run.
2) Tables don't pop up properly when cascaded / stacked. Make multitabling a pain.
3) No ability to ask for time.
4) Limited Deposit / WD options. They are supposed to be adding moneybookers soon.
