Re: Third man walking rule....
My understanding is that at Foxwoods the poker is very seperated from the rest of the casino, so that might be why the "third man rule" works there
It is separated form the main casino for the most part. Last year the management got smart and put a dozen tables that they primarily use of tournaments and satellites out in high traffic area where many people can see the games. But in the major Las Vegas casinos it's my opinion that poker room management is just asking to have major friction with other areas of the casino if they enforce this rule. I feel this must be a Foxwoods specific situation as the demand for all the table games is so high that the tables are 5 deep on the weekends at the $25 min. I am willing to say that in all my years since Foxwoods opened, I have never seen a table game where there was just a dealer standing there. In fact, when I first saw that in Vegas, I thought it was odd that the table was open and no one is playing as Foxwoods was what I had been used to. |

Re: Third man walking rule....
You might be correct, but now you are getting into the sticky situation where the whales appear they are being held to different standards than other poker players.
It's been my observation that the people most put off with playing in a short-handed game are the poorer players anyway. They are the ones most likely to leave a game because too many people are walking. So I think a 3rd man walking rule (as long as it's applied to everyone equally), is usually a good thing and not detrimental. |
