Sky City has improved hugely recently. Thurs night they run a 500min 1000max nl game, there is typically 3-5 1/2 nl and 2 or 3 2/5 nl, capped at 100 and 200 respectively. A PLO game runs as well quite often, so while it aint Vegas, there is a lot more variety than previously -(I asume the "big" game runs on the weekend too). No limit games run that I have seen recently. Games are still insanely loose.

Sadly the rake is still like being bent over and pounded up teh ass with a pointed stick.
