Computerized Poker Tables
I'm listening to Tuco's poker show right now and he and Mike are discussing on how some casinos are introducing a computerized poker table whereby all players will sit front of a monitor, and the hands will be dealt by a computer.
So basically the casino will be eliminating the dealer, speed of the number of hands per hour, and ultimately cut cost.
Obviously there are many pros to this, especially for the professional poker player. However, I can definitely see a lot of cons as well for doing this.
Mainly Tuco and Mike outlined that a lot of recreational players enjoy the "feel of the cards", the comadarie of a poker room. In short people go to play live poker to get away from the boredom and anti-socialness of online Internet Poker.
If these computerized poker tables are introduced as a standard of norm in cardrooms, then what implications would this have on B&M poker rooms. Do you think this is good for live poker?
