Re: PLO8 dying on partypoker?
 

I'm curious why you guys want to know who someone else thinks is good. You have PTO, rely on that. Creating a list of players you should be fearful of is a bad idea; self-fulfilling prophecy and all that.

Site Comparison
 

Where are the best PLO8 games under $200?

The results might surprise you. I sifted through Pokertracker Omaha and got the following statistics:

Site: Hands: Site VPIP: Site WSD: My BB/100:

Party Poker, 54K, 35.56, 55, 12.2,

Paradise, 4.3K, 45.8, 57, 28.3,

PokerStars, 5.7K, 39.1, 56, 15.11,

Prima, 12.6k, 41.1, 58, 6.2,

Ultimatebet, 2.6K, 41.8, 54, 32,

Party since Oct., ?, 33.1, 56, 4.4,

__________________________________________________ ______________________________

Site: Average pot size per level: $50, $100, $200,

Party, $26, $43, $83,

Prima, $23, $37, $78,

Paradise, $20, $35, $42,

Pokerstars, $15, $26, $53,

UB, $19, $33, --

__________________________________________________ _______________________

The things which stand out to me:

1) Party is relatively tight, and getting tighter. It also tends to be the most aggressive site.

2) Prima IS loose pre-flop, but the players ARE better post flop.

3) Paradise and UB are full of lower limit fish.

4) $1/$100 and below on Pokerstars is pretty beatable, but it is hard to clear bonus below the $1 level.

5) Party and Prima have the largest pot sizes per table level.

SOMEBODY PLEASE POST POKERROOM STATS!!

I've asked them about this but it would trash the quality of the 33's.

Re: Site Comparison
 

Thx. for posting. I did mean W$SD not WSD. Pokerroom does not look particualarly juicy to me relative to other PLO8 available.

It's more likely that you ran hot over short intervals at some of these other sites (and perhaps also benefitted from temporary anonymity--bad players haven't yet learned to avoid you). Such small sample sizes beg to have confidence intervals drawn around them--I think you'll see the winrates at other sites don't differ from the winrate you show on party in a statistically significant manner.

Re: Site Comparison
 

Agree, 12k hands and less is way too small to make judgments on, for starters

Re: PLO8 dying on partypoker?
 

I don't think I was playing at Party when then skins were at the most popular. I've gotten to play against a few maniacs already this week though, around 8PM EST. Seems to be new players popping up here and there. They usually don't last too long though.

Re: PLO8 dying on partypoker?
 

Some of us don't have the Omaha PT. So, knowing a little something about who are the known players who are really good would be really helpful.

Even if you have PT, the first time you sit at a table with someone, you have no info.

I too would like to know who the 6-7 sharks are, please.
