Ocean's 11 in San Diego has a 1000max 5-5 NL game if you're willing to make the drive.

I wouldn't advise making the drive. This game is run using the HORRENDOUS chained must move system. The result... the game is only good on your first table, so you might as well leave after you get moved.

Why would this be true? Your second table will basically be made up of the same players as your first table. Everyone moves through the chain, and there's no reason to claim that any game in the chain is worse than any other. If anything, the youngest game in the chain will be the worst, because it will have the fewest chips on the table, and the fewest deeply stuck player.

Good points by "RR" Randy elsewhere in the thread. Another problem is the chained must move provides recreational players multiple opportunities to quit without making the proper donation. In other words, they are forced to leave a game that they may be enjoying. While they are in transit to the next game in the chain they often look over at the typically joyless grinders in the next chained game and decide going home would be a better idea.
My experience is that if we could look at all the chained must move games in the poker world rarely would we find the best game as the final game in the chain.
