Where to play PLO DBBP (Double Board Bomb Pot) every hand?
Are there any poker rooms that spread a game with only PLO Double Board Bomb Pot regularly?

Bellagio has a table.
Just about every room in dfw, Texas does as well.
$5 ante. Think the buy-in is $200-$1,000.
I wonder how often $1k stacks get in when the pot is only $40 or less going into the flop.
Have you ever played a bomb pot 😉
That's a 25:1 SPR in a 8-wy pot, so I reckon at least as much as any normal HU SRP. Not so much that people are just exchanging flips all night, but plenty often that stacks are relevant.
Dallas always had this game running when I visited a few times. Usually $15
You can play DDBP on Phenom Poker online.
In my experience (played both the bellagio and venetian games in Vegas) games with only bomb pots tend to play tighter (especially the smaller games with 3 or 5 ante), people playing bomb pot only games usually know what they are doing somewhat, so no, getting all the money in on the flop is pretty rare.
been seeing Mistakes like this much more regularly in the normal PLO games with one bomb pot per orbit.
The reference was getting stacks in by/on the river, which definitely can happen w/ $40 on flop and $1, 000 stacks.

It sounds like a $5 DBBP game would be good in Texas. But what you describe is exactly what I imagine Vegas DBBP games to be like.
I wonder if a $10 DBBP game with a $200-1,000 or $300-1,500 BI would be a good game or a nit fest if they spread it in Vegas.

the wynn actually has a 20$ game going sometimes ... there's like 3-4 guys who show up together and try to start it (smells somewhat fishy, i know), but played in it twice and it's actually not a bad game. but: breaks pretty fast, when one of the guys (main whale for this game) leaves, so you gotta time it right. nothing to generate regular income from (too inconsistent), but when i'm there and it goes, i'll hop in
add-on: bomb pot games at wynn are heavily floor dependent (no overall house policy on them).
there's like 2 floors who really hate them and won't allow it (not even start a list), and the others are cool with it.

This, I played a few days of $2 PLO DBBP at PH in Vegas over summer where some local regs were trying to get a regular game going and it was ultra tight, only time all in money happened was super cooler hands like Quads vs Top Boat or someone got unexpectedly quartered. Can’t speak on Bellagio or V. As whiskey said you are 100% better off playing a plo game that has a dbbp on the dealer push.
It seems like the small DBBP games in Vegas are full of nits trying to learn DBBP--the same nits who sit out of DBBP on the dealer push in normal PLO games (or worse--they only play DBBP if they have the button!).
My experience was a table mostly full of competent low roller PLO nits HOPING that someone trying to learn sits down and gets their money in drawing to 25%.
Borgata on the weekend sometimes
