which rooms will spread 10/20? 25/50?
As far as waitlists, your best bet is to just put every poker room's number in your cellphone and call up 20-30 minutes before you intend to arrive to get added. It also gives you a chance to ask what games are spread and how many tables of each.
I'd usually just ask to be added to the waitlist even if I weren't sure I'd be going there so I didn't have to call back. And have yourself added to something like 2/5 or 5/10 which have higher rotations so if you still have to wait for the higher games at least you get some play in and drink service while waiting.
