Whatever happened to "Holdem Challenge"?

[Homer]

Think about the intelligence of your average pit game player. I'll bet in testing they got confused as to which hand won (reading the board) on lots of occasions. For example, say the three preflop hands to choose from are AT, A2, and 44. The board comes A26KK. I guarantee that players (and even some dealers) would be confused about which hand wins. Also, I imagine the game is fairly slow paced, in terms of number of hands per hour, compared to blackjack and craps. You might note that Roulette is a slow-paced game as well, but the difference is that the house edge in roulette is about 10X the house edge in this game, assuming perfect strategy (5.3% for Roulette versus <.5% for Holdem challenge). Essentially, I'm guessing that this game is profitable for the house than the other pit games.

Just some ideas...
