Sure, but GVC is literally 20 minutes further
Based on what you're saying, there are literally hundreds of people who wanted to play
but wouldn't drive 20 more minutes to get into a game?
especially the higher stakes and PLO players?
"I wanna play 5-10 and live in Chicago, I could drive 40 minutes to GVC,
but that's too far, so I'll just never play,
but if something opens up 20 minutes away, I'm in"
Evidence says you are correct,
but it still seems odd to me that right now,
you are 100% guaranteed to get a seat within an hour of waiting at GVC
but the 40th thru 90th guy on the 1-3 Rivers list is like,
"nah, I aint driving 20 more minutes to play,
I'll stay here tonight and never get a seat"
