Default Re: 9 Max $1/2 whats the point?

[ QUOTE ]
Party introduced these at their last upgrade. They're only at the 1/2 and 10/20 limit at the moment.

My guess ... this is an experiment on their part to see how much more they rake per person per hour vs the 10 person tables. After they see the figures, I wouldn't be surprised to wake up one morning to find all the 10 person tables replaced with 9 max.

I think it's partly because they want to generate semi-full table action at these limits. Before the change 10/20 for example was almost entirely 6-max, but now with the 9-max tables a lot of people may open these tables thinking they are a little shorter than a full table... I often join them myself when there are only 3 or 4 people and I get sucked into a full 9 player game for a couple orbits. So there might be more non-short games generated, and full-table players who want to play 10/20 will be more likely to stay at Party than leave for another site.
