Who won their bankroll on Jungle, and how have they found the games since?

I'm just wondering who else 'won their bankroll' on Jungle, and how they've done since with it. I won $40 on there, and have only just really looked at trying to clear it.
This morning there were times when there were as few as 3 people logged in, although once the freerolls started again this increased to 200+ again. Needless to say, this morning there were no ring games going at all (not that I would have been able to play then, I was just curious). This lunchtime, though, there was... one table going. Limit Holdem, 6-max. I figured that would be OK, so I tried playing that for a while, and sure enough you had players at the table who would raise most hands and see everything down, and frustratingly they were doing well, too, busting out hand after hand as they hit 2 pair and other unlikely catches on the river.
What was worthwhile was mentioning that I generally played Omaha. Someone else said they liked High/Low, so I suggested starting a game going. 3 of us headed over to the PLO8 tables, and started playing, me the one that had said they liked High/Low, and the person who'd been calling way too much.
Well, surprisingly the calling station had a much better idea on when to fold when pot-sized raises were involved, but they still had a bit of a weakness on that score. The one that liked High/Low probably felt railroaded, because they got bust out twice in quick succession because they started short-stacked, got pushed off hands, and didn't pick strong enough hands to make a stand with. Anyway, I bust the other player out as well, making it a profitable session overall - $2.65 down on LHE, and $5.18 up on PLO8.

My impression so far, then, is to wait for a Holdem table to get going, and then try to pursuade them to join a PLO8 table, and if your short-handed PLO8 skills are up to scratch, then you should clean up...

I have pretty good luck in their NLHE games, but it is a lot looser than I typically care for. Most people are just looking to double up or lose all of their freeroll earnings. I haven't seen much from actual deposits there yet.
