To visualize, imagine the player pool as circular layers where:
- the small inner core of the circle is formed by the pros. They play 5+ days per week and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
- the layer surrounding the core is the non-pro regs and weekend warriors. Like the pros, they'll play normally unless something drastic changes, but they will be there only for the good promos and weekends.
- the recreational players form the next outer layer. They'll play once per week or so, but their presence depends on quality of the room, promos, entertainment, how much they're up or down, etc.
- the outmost layer of the circle is formed by people who wander in, out of towners, people who lost in table games who want to "slow down," etc. These are the people that really soften the games up just enough so the recreational players don't go broke quickly. They're also the people that aren't there to play poker and could be negatively impacted by the room's relocation.
The deceiving aspect of this model is that the people who are affected most by the relocation make up the thinnest outer layer of the circle. However, it's important to recognize that the layers depend on each other. As each layer is peeled away, it weakens the one beneath it until it eventually peels away itself. It's a slow process, but it does happen. I've seen it happen to my hometown's room, which is the entire reason I moved to the DMV area.

I was reading on another site that many people believe it is 4 TC/BP but it was unconfirmed and also doubted by a few.
edit: coin-in/BP seems to be an issue. On this same site people stated that the hosts won't tell them and said it is proprietary info, and that empirical evidence has shown that it seems to vary by machine.

mgm being secretive on what coin-in is needed to get a tier credit is really shady.
that should be basic info!
both md live and Horseshoe lists coin-in requirements very clearly.
