I wouldn't sit at a table that was nothing but bomb pots, but I think they attract the type of opponent that I play well against.  The people who don't mind gambling a little, when they're not sure if they have the edge or not.  It's like dealer's choice home games.  I usually am not a huge fan of some of the variations people want, but the variety makes the other people happy.  You have to give action to get action, and all that sort of nonsense.  And people do play them pretty horribly too, which makes them even better.  So, it's not even like they have an edge.

Does it suck that I end up putting in 5xbb (6max is 5xbb) and folding to most action because I have nothing on the flop?  Yeah, especially if it's like 4 bomb pots in a row where I completely miss.  But, that's how it goes.  Even if I just broke even in the bomb pots, I feel like the dynamic it can create for the hands in between them is worth it.  Someone will get stuck from one and really loosen up.  I had one table, one night, where someone dropped 68 buy-ins after suffering a pretty brutal suckout in a bomb pot.  Might he have gone on mega-tilt on a normal table loosing to a suckout like that?  Maybe.  But, he also might not have been in that pot to start with.
