i find 'em widely variable.

for the most part, the limit ring games seem pretty tight and sometimes devolve into blind-stealing matches.

the exception to this are the dealer's choice games -- the world's focus is so heavily on hold 'em these days that the players there aren't very good at the other games. there's a lot of money sitting there to be picked up, and you can definitely up your e.v. by *not* choosing hold 'em.

the no-limit ring games are bizarre, and (at least for me) seem to be amongst the easiest on the 'net. there used to be a $300 buy-in that ran constantly that seems to have dried up -- that was my favorite and the most lucrative. now the majority of the action is below that, with occasional games above it. i'm not sure why the limit played has changed, it may have something to do with their leaderboard system.

(as an aside, if you're a high roller, be VERY careful of "stackable" -- i've seen him take, probably, $10k from various victims in just the last week or so. he's the best no-limit ring game player i've ever seen and is a threat.)

as you'd guess the tried-and-true method on those no-limit games is wait wait wait until you've got somethin', then bet bet bet.

play seems to be heaviest in the american night time, although there is a hot spot at around noon eastern time -- i think the euros are poking around on there then.

there isn't much tournament action on there (the good news is they have a $400 guaranteed tourney that usually ends up with $100+ of overlay), but i'd expect that to increase as the rgp open approaches.

the other thing worth mentioning is gamesgrid ran backgammon for years and at least some of those players are leaking onto the poker felt. as a result you see a lot of people making equity plays with their poker hands -- you wanna be damn sure that you're making a bet that is not a good equitable call for someone's drawing hand if you want them to drop, or they'll cook you.
