Re: Poll: would you sit at an electronic table at a B&M room?
I saw such a table at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, Fl., for low buy-in SnGs.
I didn't play, but I'd be happy to.
First of all the electronics assures no dealer mistakes, which is already a major advantage. No misdeals. No exposed cards. No dealing of the flop before I have raised my big blind. No failing to wait for a player to act before forcing the action on. No acceptance of under-raises. No erronious awardings of pot.
Secondly they assure more hands per hour than by far the most of the dealers are capable of.
And thirdly, NO TIPPING of the dealer!
I still get the table banter and the tells from the other players. There's no point in comparing with online poker - this is the live experience, and the fact that my card is shown on a screen and not on a piece of cardboard changes little.
Best,
McMelchior (Johan)
