8-game is one of my favorite games where get ticket to weekly second round ... i can play every game i only not like omaha hi every other rule/game at least in pokerstars i played for real cash (tourneys) anyways only need to play nl holdem if want win big cash
I find that the mixed games freerolls on PokerStars tend to have fewer donks and bingo queens. I think that it may be that switch games requires the players learn more about the game or maybe it's that the switch drives the poorer players out faster. Most of the donk plays usually comes in the Omaha or NL Holdem section of the game. Anyway, After the first round or two the play tends to improve a lot. There's fewer players as well so it's easier to get into the second round.

Some people miss the change from razz to stud as well and you can catch them betting rags. Although to be honest I've done that a time or two as well. so it's probably a wash.
Although I would recommend that anyone not familiar with any of the games in Horse or 8 game play each of them individually first before the start playing a mixed tournament.

Hi. I like to play mixed games as it helps me to relieve some bored sometimes and improve my other games such as Razz and Omaha Hi/Low, I find you do not often find Razz tourneys,
Posted by Jibberish: 8 game cash tables are usually pretty live because a lot of people arent very strong in some of the games so you can make a loooot of money
I agree. However, I think that's only part of the reason. In 8 game and Horse players tend to think of themselves as better players than they actually are, much more often and to a greater degree than usual on tournaments that only play a single game.
so it's probably a wash.
