I'm seeing more and more posts about the level/quality of play on BigBetPoker or lack thereof.
Quite simply it's a well stocked fishpond!
I have my own solutions as how best to exploit this but I'd like to throw this thread open to some of the more experienced players to help out.
I know we have a lot of good Hold'Em players here but from what I'm seeing we also have some pretty competant PLO players (amongst others).
If you have suggestions on how to best capitalize on the perpetual calling stations on BigBet then feel free to help your fellow BRM'ers out here...I'm pretty sure there's enough fish to go around!

I haven't deposited there yet, blew the free $10 pretty fast getting donked in the low buy in MTTs.
I love PLO, I only play PL4 - PL20 but I actually enjoy it more than HE at those levels. You do suffer bad suck outs as bad players don't know when to fold average hands, the Hold 'em is beaten into them too hard. but you can exploit this in the long run by playing solid TAG style. Everyone new to Omaha thinks aggression, aggression, aggression is the key. You can pretty much get them to call any bet. great when you have the nuts. Patience is all you need really.
If the PLO action at those levels picks up a lot I'll consider depositing soon.
I don't play at BBP yet so I can't make any comments, but I do have some ideas what to do with those fish. Suggestions: A rod & reel, spear gun, harpoon, bow & arrow, fish net, etc. ....j/k. But I like the BBP threads for feed back

Turn them into this: Have not eaten good fish & chips for a long time
Not really... it's calculated by the system using some complex formula coded into the software... if you win a lot in a short space of time then you get stars faster basically.
Other than that I can't really give you any more info.

i agree its a calling station on bbp i put 200.00 i have it up to 2400,00 right now though i was wondering bout that rake race do i have to sign up have 3200 comp points or was all the 40 meet??
I don't have my opinion on the standard of play on Big Bet yet. I only played 3 sessions, NLH only, 877 hands altogether, increased my starting NDB of 10$ to 60$+. But it is too early to make a conclusion whether it was a good run or low level of competition. Will right my opinion when I play a bit more.
im basically playing 2$ sngs (bounty + normal ones), and players cant get rid of top pairs and end up winning by runner runner. few days ago i was really tilted because of enormous number of runner runners.
