Ok so I did a short experiment the other day at a table with 6 spots. I actually counted how many rounds were played over the course of a hour. It was a meager 46 rounds. Kind of sobering. Players bought in, left the table, dealer seemed somewhat slow, etc.

In general, if one wishes to play 100 rounds per hour, at most how many players should be at the table? The problem in the Northeast is that the tables that tend to be open are few so the players must all condense to a handful of tables. This leads to tables being packed. Easier to manage I guess. This is why it is best to play higher table minimums if you can afford it. I'm sure the graveyard shift has fewer tables but who wants to play at 2 a.m.?

Any suggestions on maximizing rounds per hour?
