The $200/$400 Cap PLO game has been running on Full Tilt Poker the last few days and Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond has been in the mix, making a return to poker after taking a couple of week for rest and relaxation after the WSOP. However, despite winning $80,000 on Monday, Galfond says in his blog that he hates the Cap games.


"I think it's a boring game with few complexities, and those complexities are more about math and running hand scenarios through calculators off the table than they are about psychology, leveling, and adjusting to opponents and game flow.  If cap PLO are the only games running, I'll play, but I hope people start playing something else," Galfond writes.

Another high stakes regular (and these two are probably not the only ones) who has said the same thing about Cap games is Patrik Antonius, who recently said that if it was up to him, the Cap games would have to go altogether. "Cap is not real poker. There are no real opportunities to bluff, and no big decisions for the players," Antonius said.

Cap games are a variant of cash games where players are only allowed to bet or raise a certain amount per hand. At 200/400 Cap PLO the limit is $16,000 or 40bb per hand after which the player is considered all-in even if he has more money in his stack.
