Question for SF Bay Area players

[I.Rowboat]

Normally, I play 20-40 or 40-80 at Bay101 one night a week, typically Wednesdays. However, the Shooting Stars event is going on there for the next week or so, with today being the first day of the event, and I imagine the room is going to be a zoo.

So...what to do? Does Garden City or Lucky Chances still spread a mid-week 20 game? Last time I played the 20 games in those rooms on a weeknight, they were pretty poor games (just one table, not a whole lot of action, etc.) Same with the AJ 15 game.

There were some good 20 and 40 games at Bay101 during last year's SS tournament, but the room as a whole was just nuts, with long waits and lots of commotion. Since I only get to play one night a week, I'd like to make the most of it (minimal hassle, maximum game selection). To be honest, I kinda resent the presence of the tournament, as it means the usual Bay101 20 game, with its familiar soft spots and known faces, isn't going to go down.

Any other mid-limit players have similar thoughts, or am I the only one who feels this way?
