Electronic Multi Handed Poker (1 Viewer)

[Cyclones]

I'm in Indianapolis for the week looking to play some cards and see the Indiana Grand casino has electronic poker tables - not video poker but actual multi handed poker - anyone ever play on these before? I'm not interested in driving 100+ miles to horseshoe or belterra.

multi-handed electronic poker?

I can't even imagine what types of bad beats that would deliver!

Sound the bad beat alarm!

Not to mention how am I supposed to berate a machine if it makes a bad play? That's the only enjoyment I derive out of playing these days... berating bad play.. I don't even care about the money

It's not like that, you have actual humans sitting at screens - the computer deals the hands, flop, etc in the middle of the large screen on the table, and you make bets by clicking on chip denominations. So its basically online poker, but the players are sitting around a table instead of at their own computers. Just not sure how the experience is.

I've done it a couple of times. It's awful because of the players it attracts. Nobody folds, it's just like a home game.

The best situation at a poker table is mostly decent players with a couple of marks. 8 loose passive players is a nightmare. Best cards win.

oh, so i can still berate?

as long as I can be there educating the other players, citing odds, quoting paragraphs from poker tomes, and belittling people's stupid choices then I'm in.

I went for a couple of hours, bought in $200 and cashed out $290 - the table was tight as a drum, min raises often brought folds. Lots of older guys.

There was one $730 pot where a guy got it all in on the flop with a set of sixes vs pocket aces, and they guy spiked an ace on the river. I berated the guy in Dentist's honor.

Whilst I appreciate any and all berating, I generally don't berate simply on the basis on a statistical bad beat, only on bad play.

I would be curious what the rake is. Obviously the casino saves money on not having to pay a dealer, the players save money on not having to tip the dealer, and more hands are played which means the casino makes more from that.

We have these here. Because there is no dealer, only a floorman that doesn't watch too closely, there is lots of colluding/chip dumping and tabletalk

I say stay away

I thought this was gonna be a sex toy thread.

 

[The Big Guy]

I would imagine that being an electronic table and not live dealer is some weird loophole to the law.

I didn't see any evidence of this last night, it was very tight at the table, and use of phones is prohibited, so there was no texting or anything going on during hands.

Overall it's weird, I like to shuffle chips and have actual cards to look down at, but the game itself seemed as fair as any no limit table I have been to.

We had one heart stopper where a guy shoved with AcJc and was called by KK - flop was KcKh10c. Had two chances at the $171k bad beat jackpot. Brick brick. :(

Rake was 10% to a max of $5 is what I was told.

Wow that would've been cool. Any discussion about what you share would've been?

Excalibur used to have this several years ago.

I don't even care about the money

Not that Dentist falls into this category but that is exactly something a degenerate would say.

 

[Dentist]

I don't even care about the money

let me rephrase... i never gamble enough money to significantly affect my net worth one way or the other.. so if i win or lose, it's really all about the same.

Anymore I just can't stomach playing for net worth defining stakes because then a bad beat would really set me off

I think it was 40 to loser, 20% to winner, and the other 40% would have been chopped 4 ways.

I wouldn't be posting right now if it had hit, I'd be waking up in some seedy hotel surrounded by hookers and powder.

I didn't have a bad beat jackpot

 

[fred_1_15301]

I didn't have a bad beat jackpot

At most casinos, it would be rare for Quad 4s to trigger a bad beat jackpot.

 

[belljr]

It didn't exist anyway

 

[fred_1_15301]

It didn't exist anyway

I guess the question is what would you piss you off more?

A. Losing with Quad 4s but there is no bad beat jackpot

B. Losing with Quad 4s but the bad beat requires you to lose with a minimum of Quad 5s

For me, it would be the latter.

 

[belljr]

B definitely
