I have spend probably hundreds of hours waiting to get onto a low stakes table over the years. I just makes no sense to me either wexcept that the casino figures you will get tired waiting and sit at the higher stakes table. It is really strange when you have a place like Potawatomi in Milwaukee years ago where they only had $5 and $25 tables and if you wanted a $5 spot you have 6 or 7 other people waiting for the same spot.
