Oh that's a good point, I hadn't thought about that, thanks!
I'd say this is especially true if by "more hands" you mean correctly folding less (i.e. more "fun" for the buck.)
It comes down to how much dealer time is overhead (shuffle, pot management, showdown, bank management, down pushes, etc.) vs. player action. We have 11% less time spend on action, but 0% less on overhead.
So yeah - we get what we pay for
if the dealers stay efficient enough to give us 11% more hands.
My take: With MDLs mostly excellent dealers keeping overhead to a minimum,
we're getting more poker for our time (if not for our money.) And, by folding less, we're getting more action.
OK, I'm in - yay 9 handed!
