The last time I was at the Orleans in Las Vegas, they has 4 must more tables going at all times feeding downward to the main game. Could you find out how and why they can make it work? I will not play in the main game for 4 or 5 hours and have it break at 4 O'Clock when the must more is off. Thanks
I played last night 10/20 Om8 which to my surprise had a lot of action. After it broke I played the $4/$8 Om8 game (2 tables running) and both tables were main games meaning no must move.
I arrived at the $4/$8 Om8 game (table 14 - other was table 15) as the 8th player. It lasted less than a half hour (at around midnight) before breaking when I got up leaving 4 players remaining. It looked like table 15 was full so some of the 4 remaining players I would assume got on the newly created list.
I don't know which table (14? or 15?) would of been the main game, but no must move. I agree with you ausales that there always needs to be multiple must move tables feeding only ONE main game.
I think the problem however for the house stems from finding the personal to administer the must move list, especially on a busy packed Sat night. They were so busy last night (every table was filled) at 9pm when I arrived that one of the experienced brushes was so busy, I did not see her move from her seat at the mic during the 1st hour I was on a wait list.
They had over 60 names on SNG lists last night but no tables to run them until after 10pm when the big tournament stopped for the day. I can imagine lot's of SNG players on the lists left before calling down the SNG lists since I heard "cancel" and "who wants a seat... only 2 left" for SNGs when they finally started the SNGs.

PS - BTW Mike, I've seen a "M Smith..." winning the Om8 tourney at Hard Rock last week. I hope that was you? If so congrads!
