Default O8B online? Best site? Small field issues?

I'm trying to figure out whether or not to play O8B online instead of Hold'Em. I'm more drawn to O8B because it seems like most players don't know what they are doing, as opposed to in Hold'em where a greater % of players have a decent understanding of the game. I'm worried though because my site (PokerStars) doesn't seem like it has many people playing O8B.

Where's the best place to play pot limit O8B online? It seems like PokerStars doesn't spread very many tables for this game.. is this typical of all sites? Are there only a small field of O8B players on each site? If so, how does the affect the game? Are the players generally very good, or do the weak players suck out enough to keep them coming back?

saddly, O8 seems to be dying pretty quickly online right now. i wud suggest gettin some money over to FTP, as they are really the only other site with regular PLO8 games. Bodog games are drying up quickly, UB games are too.

i suppose all us Americans can write our congressmen letters and thank them for killin our game. (Stupid government)

It does depend somewhat on the limit and the hours you're playing. On PStars it seems like there are often $10/20 limit and $3/6 pot-limit games running (with multiple tables once you get to lower limits like $3/6 fixed limit), but maybe that's not as high as you want to play. Certainly I have no trouble finding opposition, but I play at very low limits.

i have no trouble finding games or doing well on stars (5/10-15/30 limit and 1/2-3/6PL) - just because there are a pool of regulars doesnt mean the games are not profitable - also as usual nights/weekends USA time is good times for these games

nothing will ever be like party was, unfortunately
