Have you noticed the new PokerPro texas holdem poker tables? The first time I saw the PokerPro tables was about three weeks ago when I took a quick holiday with my mom to the WinStar Gambling house in Oklahoma.

As I waited for my turn to be summoned at the live tables, I observed how the other persons at the PokerPro tables interface with one another. It was pretty intriguing to say the very least. Because the poker table was controlled by a computer, there were no poker chips to do any chip tips, no cards to shuffle and the actual live experience was stagnant. Maybe I was the only one that recognized this, but I did observe the players at the table had a dull quality to them. The reason behind this might be since there was no human interaction with the dealer, the ambiance was rather dull and the gamblers looked uninterested. It was nearly as if I was looking at a live version of an online hold’em poker room instead of being seated with hot blooded humans. It was a little creepy and I kept flashing back to a show of ST:TNG and the holodeck malfunctioned.

Since the waiting time for the live tables for more than an hour, I made a decision to see how the game action was and to experience this new hold em poker gaming technologies. Soon after wagering a couple of hands, I definitely felt like I was betting at house. The lack of activity on the table was the primary reason. I prefer to shuffle and stack my chips, and mix my cards around. None of those things are possible at these computer tables.

One more thing I observed was how the computer dealt the flop, turn and river cards. I bet a lot of hands on the PokerPro table and noticed that the play was a lot like an internet based texas hold em poker website. That might have been just a coincidence, except I discovered it to be really odd.

Following wagering a couple of rounds with this "unique holdem poker technology", I determined that the PokerPro tables had been not for me. I’m better off betting holdem poker on the internet at residence and not travel the distance. If WinStar Gambling house had been to obtain rid of the reside poker tables, I think they’d loose a great deal of players.
