Scott, please dont add higher limit for 9 handed tables. I know that occasionally a full 9 handed 1/2 table will run, but a vast majority of the rest of the time the tables are camped by massive bumhunters who have no interest in starting games, but just waiting to get a fish heads up. What always happens is, bumhunter is waiting 9 handed table...fish sits, they play a few hands of heads up, someone else sit, thinking a game is going to start, then another person sits, thinking a game is going to start, then buhunter sit out because they wanted to play heads up, then game is 3 handed, last guy thought he was sitting a 4 handed game, gets annoyed, sits out, then other 2 guys realize game is breaking, and they sit out.
you get this like 5 minute game that is extremely annoying for everyone to deal with.
This is the exact issue that happens on wsop.com, and i see it often happen at 1/2 9 handed tables on stars as well.
it's a larger issue at higher limits becuase of the lower liquidity of the stakes, and a full table is even less likely to ever become full
