Will electronic poker tables become mainstream?
This conversation has come up several times this month at different tables, and most players are reserved when it comes to the idea of electronic tables. These are the same people who think online poker is rigged, or cannot be beat and feel that live poker should always have chips, cards, and a dealer.
I love the idea just based off of getting in far more hands, and not having to tip a dealer but I know most donks probably won't see value in those reasons. It's basically something I'd love to see happen, but if bad players won't accept the idea then I don't want to drive them away from the game. I mean there is a lot more to this than seems obvious at first glance. A lot of horrible players go so far as to subject themselves to huge losses only to have those super-heaters to which they have a huge stack, sit back confidently and gloat... it sort of balances the situation, and it's why they play poker. I'm not sure having a number on a screen will cut it.

I think if they were headsup tables, they would be very successful, immediately. Otherwise, in time, I think you'll see them more and more.

I'd add that people who feel the need to insert anigifs inside every post are clearly intending to annoy.

But this will be a long time coming and hopefully I will not be around to have to put up with it. My experience with etables at HP was less than stellar.
