All comparisons are to Parx from my home.
It is, except for-
A: Even the high end of low limit limit doesn't run (15/30).
B: It is a 3 hour round trip vs 40 minutes. 150 miles of gas, vs 38.
$70 in personal time lost driving (at a 15/30 stake)
$19 in gas
Considering a solid 8 hour session, at a 12% win rate getting 29 won hands, likely 24 or so of full rake.
They would literally have to give me $4 on top of each hand won to even be remotely fiscally advantageous for me to go there.
Obviously this is highly dependent on where you live, so this is just my personal situation. People can not underestimate how much travel distance has on their room choice. Also I am not being all awesome and saying I win that 1/bb an hour. But you have to have a basis for using information to make decisions and this is pretty standard.
