Re: Horrible Time Pot Rule at Commerce
[ QUOTE ]
this whole way of raking the first pot of a dealer shift is stupid anyway, why dont they just take regular time charge with each player paying his due? I cant see any benefit from this way of collecting rake and I am not sure if there is any. [/ QUOTE ] dealer doesn't have to make change and you get to play a few more hands. it also has minor effects on style of play. |

Re: Horrible Time Pot Rule at Commerce
It adds variance for nothing and seriously the change will take 30 seconds MAX.
I only played once with that structure (only like 2 hours so my sample is extremly small and it could be a coicidence I agree) but it seemed to slow the action on the first few hands as people would be (rightfully) less willing to get involved in a pot. The only pot I saw being chop chop in that 2 hours session was the first one of a dealer shift, again nano sample, just an overall impression. |

Re: Horrible Time Pot Rule at Commerce
I think that's the theory behind it, that it's quicker in that the dealer doesn't have to go around the entire table making change. But in practice it doesn't save time. Many of the dealers are not sure if the pot is big enough to have been a collection pot and they are unsure about how many people were actually dealt in or who declared themselves out of collection. So if two people were walking, and one person declared himself out of collection, the winner of the collection pot, has to pay for six players, which requires making change, and then the dealer has to take collection from the three non-participating players, so she has to make change for them too. In practice it probably is slower than individual collection taking.
