    I haven't played them yet but was wondering if anyone else has played these before? Do you think live poker will ever be headed this way.

    Im a predominantly online player so I honestly think Id prefer these tables, you could get alot more hands in per hour, no dealer mistakes etc.

    What do others think?

    they had one at this years WSOP for people to try out and play on played 2 hands and it froze for 30 minutes i left my biggest worry would be about someone seeing your whole cards spectators or opponents.

    I have played at least 20 sit n goes at the poker tec tables they have at my local indian casino. Pretty cool. The structure they set up is pretty crappy but the interface is pretty good, although it is kind of hard to see the flop, turn and river at the center of the table. Give it a shot, some people like it, some people hate it, but very few love it...Just double check the structure if it is a tournament, for cash games it is much better, no tipping, no shuffling, no misdeals...

    are you talking about turning stone? If so I'd love to hear more about the structure, I know they've had them for a while but I haven't checked it out yet.

    They're nice because as we all know sngs at casinos have turbo blinds, but the autoshuffle speeds things up quite a bit and also helps the donks to fold and act faster.
