Hey Slothy I dont think the poster you were responding to even understands that double board Omaha is pretty much only played as part of a mix and in its fixed limit format, on the other site. I dont think he realizes that there are multiple limit mix games and big bet mix games running around the clock at high stakes, as well as $10/pt ofc (or is familiar w the site at all).
But the drawOE and , coachs mix, crazy mix arent possible on swc yet, bc the software cant run Archie, dramaha, 2-7 dramaha, 2-7 razz, double board Omaha, 150 bb cap nl 2-7, pot limit badugi/badeucy/badacey, A-5 triple draw, etc yet. I dont get the feeling that swcpoker is unwilling to run pretty much anything that players suggest, thats reasonable. But the other site has been around longer than 3.0 swcpoker and the amount of liquidity dwarfs swcpoker - for now.
Theres been some Stars highstakes mix players that have come over and some Kings players have come over to swcpoker. But the stakes that US fix limit mix players and the main Stars reg thats come over to swcpoker want to play are much higher than what swcpoker player pool supports - for now. Theres also some kings guys who only play the $5/10 w $4 ante big bet mixes. Among the $4/8-$8/16 (or 1k/2k-2k/4k chip) mix players, they all seem to want to play almost strictly fixed limit mix. Among the high stakes mix players, its slightly less than 80/20 fix limit to big bet.
One mix that I enjoy on swcpoker, that isnt spread on Kings, is the 11 game mix - because its a true mix of big bet, limit, stud, draw, and flop games (and like most, I dont feel all that confident in my Dramaha game). If we could bring over even 10% of the players from kings to try swcpoker it would be a huge boost For swcpoke. If traffic was the same at both sites, everybody would play at swcpoker bc of the much lower rake. So I dont think swcpoker doesnt care about what their players want - its just that the software cant run those other variants yet.
There are 3 mix game sites in the world, 2 of which accept players from across the globe. In some cases, the pool is mutually exclusive. For example, there arent any games for a 200/400 chip limit player to play on Kings - cuz $4/8 is the lowest stake.
But there is no game raked as low as swcpoker and more players that can be brought over and added to the pool at swcpoker than vice versa. We just need to get enough full ring mix games running simultaneously on swcpoker and the Kings players willl come. They dont mind if badeucy is the most non-standard game and they definitely like the rake structure. They just need to see some traffic. There are opportunities and options available. WSOP is right around the corner and there is a 90+ table poker room about to open near me, insidethe most expensive casino in the country. If everybody at swcpoker tries their best, from management and admins and affiliates and players, and are incentivized to start a conversation w their neighbor at the table, opens up the mobile client and shows how easy it is to play and how low the rake is - adding another 100-500 BTC in liquidity to swcpoker over the summer shouldnt be a problem.
Im not sure if trading krill for a player depositing 1-10 BTC is gonna do it necesssarily, but I have confidence in swcpoker based on the last few months of added traffic and the customer service/admins are down to earth, accessible, and smart. So hopefully something will get worked out prior to wsop.
