There's more European O8 players on the Cryptos. Game selection there is pretty random. Generally you have a better chance of finding a game during daytime in the States, but I've found games at night time (PST) and all times. Some of the Europeans are very good, solid PLO/8 players. Some of them are pure LAGs/Maniacs. I've had plenty of sessions where I didn't want to get up and leave even though I had already finished my bonus.

Lately there's been a 200plo8 game running more often than a 100. Used to be you'd never see a 200 but I guess some of the "regulars" are wanting to play a bit higher. The same is true of the plo high games too - 200s used to be rare but now they seem to eclipse the 100s, especially with the new(ish) 50s and 25s taking some of the weaker players from the 100 games.
