However, during "full", busy times, all tables will be running, so, it makes little sense to stay 8 handed. The tables are configured for 9 players. More customers playing cannot be a "bad" thing, certainly not for staff that gets tip income. Similarly, it seems intuitive that more hands will hit max rake dropped, enough to compensate for arguably slower, fewer hands per hour.
