(3) Why does the casino bother with the sit-n-go's when they could open all those tables for 1/2 on a Saturday. The 1/2 tables pay, at $5 per half hour per player, $1,000 an hour to the casino while the sit-n-gos pay $200 for about an hour and a half. All those tables being converted to cash games would shorten the waiting list considerably, making the clientele happier as well.

I think you made a small math error here. $5 per half hour = $10 per hour per player. With 10 players at a table, thats $100 per hour, not $1000. If they're making $200 for 1.5 hours at a SNG table, then thats more than they make at a 1/2 table.

You are correct and that's why I'm a lawyer and not an accountant. And not a "small" error, either. Oops.

i dont know if its normal, but i was there on sunday and heard more than one conversation from dealers/regulars/floor about how jammed up it was. i'd assume it was busier than normal.

I realize that stud is "a dying game" but the last time I was there on a Saturday I sat down at a low-limit stud game within about 5 minutes of signing up. Anyone know if that's normal or if I just caught a slow day?

As for playing stud, maybe it's just me but sitting at a table with 7 grumpy old people beats sitting at one with 6 Hollywooding 22 year olds any day of the year.

Amen... This is why I mostly play stud & limit HE, and not 1/2 NL.
