so many people who will play 2/4 or 3/6 and not 4/8 that they could occupy a significant number of tables in the room, enough to make the difference between busy and not busy.
I don't think any of that is correct. Maryland's experience over the past 6+ years has told us that the opposite is true: Horseshoe Baltimore offers 3/6 and Maryland Live and MGM National Harbor offer 4/8. The latter two rooms are busier by an order of magnitude.
