Default Multiple Beats at Sunset + 1 Brag

We go to Sunset Station every Monday afternoon.

We usually get there at 3pm after I finish work. I play Poker, the wife feeds the slot machines all my winnings * 2. My son plays at the playground. Everyone is happy.

Not today.

For some reason we don't get out of the house until later, we get there at 4. I head to the poker room to see lists 7 people deep and 2 tables running.

I talk to the desk to see how long it will be:

Desk: "Oh we just had the bad beat hit 15 minutes ago at Santa Fe Station - we're waiting to pay everyone it should be 40 minutes or so. We figure everyone will leave then so you should get a seat."

I ask why they don't start a game now for all of us standing around.

Desk: "Everyone will leave once they get paid so we don't want to break the two games we have."

Me: OK, so I have an hour to play and I'm not going to be able to play even though we have 8 people standing here and a dealer picking her teeth? And you expect the games you have to break anyways?

Desk: "That is correct."

Me: OK, [censored] you then I'm leaving.

Beat #1: 10+ people on lists, 1 dealer picking teeth, refusing to start a game. Didn't play at all.

Beat #2: Lost about $400 in player share I would have made had we got there at the normal time.

Beat #3: Sunset station

Beat #4: Wife still lost plenty of money playing slots.

Brag: Son had lots of fun at the playground.

I think it's pretty standard for a cardroom to hold off on opening a table until they basically have enough people to open 2 tables. They're always afraid of breaking up a game.
