So is this basically 1-2 NL with a 250 max buy in? I don't read anywhere that it is
its 250 buy in 250 max bet
The buy-in is 100 minimum 200 maximum.
2-250 spread anytime.

This is the correct answer.
Thats great, so its basically No limit with the stack sizes being what they are. Awesome to hear, any of you guys been playing this since it started? I'm more of NL player and wasnt a big fan of the 5-150 game because guys were always getting a good price to call w the 150 max bet, say if you were on a flush draw etc. Do they charge time in this game or do they rake the pots?
NL in the sense that you have the ability to push a little harder than previous with the 150 bet cap, but limit rules apply... the most significant is that an all in raise need only be 1/2 or more of the original raise to reopen the betting. There is a three raise cap.
They are raked games.
Have you got a chance to play it memoryzero? Just seeing if you like it or not.
I have been playing the 1/2 game. I used to live in Vegas and the action is similar. My only complaint is most people only buy in for $100.
I've tried this out for the first time over the last week. I played on Saturday night last week and managed to win 160, then lost 30 on Wednesday and won 480 today. Overall the game seems quite soft to me...a ton of weak-tight players who are very predictable. I have seen a few truly terrible players with only a handful of good ones. However, part of this may be that I am more mentally focused than I have been for a long time. I actually took almost 2 months off poker after a series of debilitating casualties over the summer. Anyway, it seems like a decent game if you can remain interested in it...sometimes quite a long time will go by without any significant pots. I would say it is more of the weak-tight regular crowd than some of the drunken maniac crowd you find in the Las Vegas games but I think it's beatable for a decent rate with less variance. Of course, I've played 2/3 sessions on the weekend where the games are likely to be softer than the midweek games. Even the game on Wednesday, though, I felt was quite soft with a lot of predictable players.
