question Late-night blackjack sites feel way different now or just me?

Been jumping on a few blackjack tables lately and it feels like the whole vibe has changed a bit... less decent low-stake tables, more empty rooms, and some of the live dealers are either flying through hands or taking bloody ages between them. Maybe I’m just logging on at the wrong times, who knows.

I’m in Aus and usually play later in the arvo or at night, so I’m keen to know what other people are finding. Are you lot sticking with live tables now or still playing the standard RNG stuff? I keep drifting back to live because it feels a bit more legit, but some sessions are painful when the table chat is dead and the pace is all over the place.

Also curious what actually matters most for everyone here - table limits, side bets, speed, decent mobile play, easy deposits/withdrawals, whatever. If you’ve found a setup that doesn’t feel dodgy or clunky, chuck your thoughts in. Reckon a few Aussie players would have pretty similar gripes with this.

yeah that's been my read too. you seeing it more on weekday nights or just whenever you log in? I reckon some of the quieter tables only wake up for a short window then go dead again

When you say live feels more legit, are you picking tables by provider first or just whatever has seats open? I've had way better sessions once I started being picky with the table layout and how long they leave players to act.

I've gone the other way lately and use RNG more on my phone because the live stream gets bloody annoying if the connection wobbles for even a second. Weird part is I still enjoy watching a couple of hands before I join, so maybe I'm not fully done with it yet. Anyone else get that thing where the pace feels fine until a few players start jumping in and out?

My rule now is simple: if a table looks messy, don't try to force it. Sit out and watch a few rounds first, and if the dealer pace is jerky or half the players are taking ages every hand, I bail straight away. Same with side bets, I skip them completely when the session already feels off.
