Heads-Up PokerTek PokerPro machines - where are they?
PokerTek's website has a list of places where the PokerPro is in use, but it doesn't say which ones have the Heads Up machines. These machines sound like they could be a goldmine when you find the right player to sit against.
Has anyone seen these in action? If you played on the machine, how was it?

They have them at Cherokee in Tulsa... But i've never seen anyone playing... [/ QUOTE ] That's disappointing to hear. Did you notice if it was set up for cash or tournaments, and how much the rake was?

I imagine that the rake would be pretty insurmountable unless you could play a total fish at limits like 15/30. [/ QUOTE ] I think they would have to cut the rake to near-online levels for it to work. Capped 5% rake and/or $50+5 HUSNGs would be profitable enough, I think, even if it was just used a few hours per day.

They have them at the Seminole Hard Rock casino. Never played one, though.
Best part about them, you and your opponent get to agree on the stakes you want to play for.

Re: Heads-Up PokerTek PokerPro machines - where are they?
In CA, i.e. Hollywood Park, the rake is the same as it is at the tables with a live dealer. Basically you're saving having to tip the dealer and you get in more hands per hour. I dont think these tables are going to take off, not only because of the fact that most people who go to a casino want the traditional casino experience, but the licensing fees associated with the tables is ridiculous.
