This. When I was playing Delaware, inevitably someone would sit at "my" machine even thought 3 others were available and empty. Since it was a long drive I dealt with it until I realized how much EV it was costing me, so I had to switch playing times to when no {life having] recreational player would be present for hours. Did "wonders" for my sleep schedule tho'.
