Default Re: Carnival Cruise Poker

It is more like playing live than it is playing online. You get to talk with real people and there are certainly tells. aside from the usual tells, there was one glaring tell almost everyone had, they looked towards the section of the screen that they wanted to click on as soon as it was their turn, so they would look at the fold button but then decide to call, this made bluffing the next street very easy. as for the speed it was faster than live with a dealer, but slower than online, id guesstimate aprox 40 hands an hour. There were no act in turn buttons, and you still had to wait for idiots to realize it was their turn (with no dealer to tell them), also every so often people had moderate to severe problems clicking on the screen.
This table was set to rake $1 at 6/16/26/36/46/56 for a $6 max (17% max), it also dropped even with no flop but I assume that is all the casinos choice.
Of course one of the biggest advantages over "live play" was that there was no dealer to tip
