There doesn't appear to often be an in between at least in the games I've been in.
This can be such a strange room sometimes. On Friday I went from table max to regular 2/5, neither were special so I ate and was at 1/2 waiting for a seat up top but the 1/2 game was better than any of the 2/5 games I had been playing in even the table max.
Most of us young regs have a strong preference to run the table max on a regular basis, but the problem is it relies on the nits opening the game in the morning to start the first 2/5 as a table max, which obviously never happens. Management does not support the table max game at all. I've had this discussion so many times at the table and with staff. The first game that opens should be the one that's fed by a must move. It tilts the **** out of me when we actually do start a table max and then the next two games that open are opened as regular 2/5 and it kills the table max.
Best example was a Saturday maybe two weeks ago. The room was basically full spread because of the promotion. There were 5 or 6 2/5s, and a table max on 42 that had been running basically since the night of the blizzard, and HAD a must move up until a certain point. There was a super deep list for the table max game, something like 20+. At no point did they call a must mov. So the table was not being fed by random players generally, and it winds up being a bunch of regs.
As you mention as well, the game can be hit and miss, but a huge part of the reason for the miss is that exact reason. They don't feed the game with a must move, so those random weekend non-regs wind up in the regular 2/5 games rather than the table max. Most of them are either unaware it exists or don't know/care about the difference.
