The Brasilia Room lacks the energy of the Amazon Room. It's difficult to explain, but things in here always seem more subdued than across the hall. Maybe it's the fact that the room has less than half of the tables of the Amazon Room, maybe it's the fact that there's no TV table, or maybe it's the fact that there are no cash games in the room.
The fact that we're playing stud-8 surely can't help matters.
