Actually, I think this makes a lot of sense. The success of internet poker has demonstrated that people are pretty willing to trust a game that is run in this way. Without a dealer, this probably pays for itself pretty quickly, and no tips means it's probably a better deal for the players, as well. I would imagine the rate of dealer error/controversy about mucked hands/etc. goes way down this way, too. EDIT: also, more hands per hour and the like. Yes, actual cards and chips are cool, but I doubt this will muscle that out completely.

Plus more fish(slot players, etc) will take a shot at this that normally wouldnt take a shot at a live game.

This would be perfect for SNGs or maybe micro limit

I read in a thread in B&M Cardrooms that the Seminole Hard Rock in Tampa runs $40/$60/$80 buy-in sit&Go's on these. Anyone have any detailed info about the blind structure and house fee on these?
