"Poker Pro" tables
 

Starting a new thread based on the discussion in the .

I'm curious about more impressions on these machines from anyone who has played them. I tried one at the Expo at the WSOP, and didn't really like it, but I understand there are now in several in the big LA card rooms, and I might have to get used to them.

1) How did playing the machine compare to playing online? It was interesting to hear TP talk about reading the physical tells, which obviously isn't going to happen online.

2) Was it much faster than a live game? Do you happen to remember the rake structure? No tokes, of course, right?

3) How did they handle the money? Do you print out a slip and take it to the cage, like modern-day slot machines? For a cruise, could you applied winnings to your bill?

4) Do you think they are the wave of the future? Should I buy shares of PTEK?

Sorry I missed this thread until now...

Boldness.
