Rick,

I did see your thread, which prompted me to note that this was happening at my nearest casino.

Note that I didn't start the thread; rather it was started by the Hollywood Park ePoker Room Manager Jay "po-Jay-to" (2+2 posting name) Siegel. Seems like a nice guy; hope he didn't get shot for putting himself in a position where he would be getting feedback from the likes of people like me and others on this forum.

For that matter, I hope I don't get shot. One thing it took me a long time to learn about cardroom management in LA is that they tend to practice "kill the messenger". [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Just to clarify- the Lightning Poker tables that are going into Turning Stone are not the same product as the PokerPro tables installed at Hollywood Park.

I'm very interested to see thoughts from the first few people to have played both products.

One thing I would stress is that the casino end of it (or how the two competing companies interact with any casino they are partners with) matters a lot more than the eTable product, which is relatively simple when you think about it.

Not really thoughts from a player but this Motley Fool article is fairly interesting.

I think this is a terrible idea. Hopefully no one will show up.

so youd prefer that they dont run single table sats to juice the prize pools for tournaments?

just about every losing college internet poker player that i know of is most comfortable playing SNG's, and if this is what it takes to get more of them in the door, i'm all for it.

does anyone know for sure whats the exact date this opens?

This should be interesting. I'm not much of a sit and go player, but I'm curious and I'll probably give them a shot the next time I'm there.

I will not lie; I could not be more excited about bringing cheaper SNGs to TS. I cannot wait to pwn them.

From looking at these pics, it seems like you could just look at your opponents monitor and see their cards... wtf? are they tilted in some special way that you can't???
