I actually tried a bit of the $100 NL 5-max play at Paradise.
I haven't played enough to have an opinion on the strength of play but one guy at my table who I knocked heads with for 30 minutes was pretty good - it certainly seemed less fishy than Crypto. I expect however that if you find a couple a bad players at your table you can really make hay there..
Downside is that it is a pain to use with PT (that said with only 8 opponentts to track when 2-tanling even I can get reads without PT pretty fast).
A 10x raked hands bonus (25c = raked hand so that's a $5 pot) isn't too bad and should release fast (and in $10 increments).
Worth looking at guys I think..
