Why the waitlist matters more than the room menu

A page can honestly say a room offers $2/$5 while there is no $2/$5 table running at that moment. For a real trip, the live list is the final decision layer.

A better pre-trip workflow

  1. Shortlist by location, hours and game.
  2. Check the live list shortly before departure.
  3. Read the room's check-in/no-show rule.
  4. Allow for GTA traffic, parking and walking to the poker room.
  5. If the game disappears or the wait becomes unreasonable, have a second room in mind.
