Are you talking about GamesGrid poker? Man, I played there quite a bit back in the day and never heard anything about being able to access opponents' hole cards. Good to know about it even belatedly.
Regarding your advice to take up non-hold'em games, what do you think about playing in mixed games like HORSE and 8-game? It seems to me that the players who are proficient in the Hold'em parts of those games are utterly clueless in the other games. Similarly, those who are skilled at the "other" games usually are not adept at Hold'em. Do you think that being good at Hold'em and perhaps 2-3 other games in the rotation is enough to have an edge in most games even if one is mediocre at 1 or 2 of the games in the list?
How do you suggest that US-based players gain familiarity with the other games? There is probably enough action at PLO to get practice online, but it seems that the games other than NL Hold'em and PLO rarely run on sites that serve US clients. It's even hard for LHE players in the US to find enough action sometimes.
