Like scgolfer said, they have all the typical games. Limit and NL Hold 'em, Omaha, Omaha H\L, 7CS, 7CS H\L, and tournaments (There's a guaranteed $10K tourney tonight for $20 buy-in, I think - I'll be interested to see how many register for it. Could be easy money.). The main lobby lists the % of players seeing the flop at a table as well as the average pot size. Most of the full tables (9 players) average around 35% of players seeing the flop - only 3 per hand!
What is interesting to me is that there seems to be a bit more action at the higher stakes limit games than I would have expected. There's relatively more action at the lowest limits (like 0.25/0.50) as well. In the small stakes mid-range (2/4 or 3/6 limit) the action is limited, and a higher percentage of the players seem to know what they're doing. Some of them I recognize from another popular forum...
One real bonus to the NL tables, IMO is that the max buy-in is twice as big as it is at Party and affiliates. One disadvantage is that there will often be 2 or 3 very small stacks (<$10) at these tables. This is part of the reason the games break up so easily, I think.
All-in-all, I've had a pretty good experience there. If it weren't for the huge, relatively easy to collect bonus, I'd probably just find a softer game. When you add in the bonus, which you can collect playing at close to the lowest limits, it's very high expected value, and a good way to build a bankroll with almost no risk. Try finding a bank that will give you a 35% return on $600 in less than a month!
