live blackjack at night — tables always jammed

West coast nights: every live blackjack table with reasonable minimums is completely full. I end up sitting there watching other people play like a sucker. Is there a secret time I'm missing?

Early morning tables are gloriously empty, if you're a weirdo like me. Dealers are chattier too. Nothing like cards and small talk with your coffee.

Might have to become a morning weirdo then. My sleep schedule is already ruined from late tables, may as well commit to the other direction.
