I played the 8-16 game at Wynn a couple weeks ago. The first session (either Tuesday or Wednesday) was great. Mostly tourists that would stick around with mediocre hands. Won about $400 in 3 hrs or so. The second time I sat at that game (Friday afternoon) there were 4, maybe 5 locals who were all pretty good players that played tight, mistake free poker. I was catching terrible cards and when I did get something decent someone else would hit their cards. Lost $700 that session (mostly on stupid plays and steals that got called).

Overall I really liked the 8-16 structure but I guess it all depends on the table composition. I guess it just depends on what day you play, what time of day, etc.
