Anyone have any insights on these apps? Been going back and forth between these 3 , since I'm in Texas I gave Hijack a try. Took me a bit to understand that its an hourly fee vs. some sort of rake, which ended up being waaaay cheaper so that's pretty cool. The tournament schedule is getting bigger on Hijack so that has gotten me interested and also WPT Gold doesn't have Omaha yet. Hijack has a $50k tonight for Columbus day. WPT has a pretty slick interface though, but action isn't quite there yet.

What do you guys think? Which one have you found to be reliable, good experience with opportunity?

I have only played on GGPoker.
Since both of those two partner with PokerStrategy.com I would venture to say that they are safe and reliable.
Rule #1: Follow all of the room's rules. Neglecting any of them will result in freezing — or even losing your bankroll.
In order to follow rule #1, you have to read and understand those rules.

I had a look at Hijack's pricing page.
If you're playing NL 100 (blinds of $0.50/$1.00) it will cost you $6.00 per hour to play.
If you're playing at a 6-max table, hands/hour is typically around 60.
They deduct 1/10 of the hourly every six minutes, so playing 100 hands will take about 100 minutes, which will cost you $10.
To break even, you would need a winrate at that stake of 10BB/100, which would mean you're a phenomenally good player.

Unless I did that math all wrong it sounds like a ripoff.

The other two rooms rake structure is based on a percentage of the pot.
GGPoker, for example, charges 5% of the pot as rake, and provides a rakeback system where you get some back once a week.
