Thanks, WM. I just recently started transitioning to PLO/8 from limit O/8 and I'm amazed at the level of success I've had thus far crushing the $25 buy-in games. I've never beaten any form of poker as resoundingly as I have been able to do at the PLO/8 $25 level. I'm running at something like 20 bb/100 over 4,000 hands. Perhaps I'm just running well, but I see so many atrocious mistakes by opponents that it makes me wonder. I already have the bankroll to move-up and eventually I will do so. I've noticed that there's something of a bubble in the number of players at the $25, $50, and $100 buy-in levels. There are always plenty of $25 games to choose from. However the $50 games are empty compared to the $100 buy-in. What's up with that?? Do all of the $25 buy-in graduates converge at the $50 level whereas the gamblers like the $100 level? How would you rank the difficulty of the higher buy-in games?
