Last night the NV Gaming Control Board posted new regulations for when casinos reopen. Regarding poker:
-four players per poker table.
-plans also will address how licensees will disinfect cards and chips.

I personally don't mind short handed but four players is seriously short. General question is how will this affect your going to a poker room? What are your thoughts of sitting down to three 2-5 regs trying to start a 1-3 game?

Who’s gonna wanna play that? Then there’s tournaments? For cleaning if they use anything wet then it has to dry how you gonna do that with cards and chips with downtime in between hands? it will make the game drag out.

But there has been talk about UV light sanitizing so maybe put the pot chips in a UV box? cards use a UV in the shuffle master?

This is really unlikely to ever get spread. Costs the casino too much, brings in too little even if the table is full, and likely not many people are going to want to play it.

Casinos are likely not to even re-open their poker rooms until this regulation goes away, so I wouldn't worry about trying to figure out the strategy adjustments for 4-max.

Poker is really just an amenity at many of the strip casinos. I'm sure some of them will run games regardless of whether it loses money.

As for 4max, I think this is outstanding. I'd love to play it.

Any way to get emergency longer tables and do 6 max? I'll play whatever, though. It'll be nice to keep the GGs out of the room!

Most of the player pool prefers FR, many complain when short-handed. The tougher part of the pool will have the edge, so I'd more than likely wait until science advances, and fear dissipates.

The rake structure will be another factor.

i think the poker dealers would hate it also. no way most players are going to tip everyhand this way at 4 max players. would prob have to start allowing 25 cents be in play like at baccarat to use as tips. id love 4max at low rake but dealers should expect a lower tipping frequency

having a GG at the table is great you just sit to their right and have someone to talk to when they're not in the hand which is all of the time.

Sure, ideally we would have 5 GGs to the left of us at ever 9 handed table but since that's not possible I'd rather just play 4 handed and if it gets rid of all the smokers, even better!

Actually, I think GG plays a lot more hands than people realize so on second thought lets just go with a 4 handed table.

Will someone tell me what GG means?

I know in game chat it means good game and also the GG poker site is now out but the context doesn’t seem like it’s pointing towards those

GG=poster gobbledygok on here. Tight passive player.

He seems like an extremely nice guy, but he does a lot of bad things for the game like switching seats every single time he has a loose player on his left

I remember after BF the wynn tried doing 6 max. A bunch of the online dudes were hot for it. It never gained any traction and quickly faded away. I personally do not see 4 max happenin.

Our typical 1/3 NL game has a hard enough time attempting to start if only 7 of the 10 seats are filled. On top of that the BBJ qualifier (which is currently capped at $500K with a couple of other capped ones on the wait list, and seems to be big reason people show up every single day) needs 5 at the table. Lol 4max absolutely won't fly here.

Yeah but that's because the option was 6max or full ring. Now the option is 4max or nothing.

Bingo.

Same for the thing about the dealers not liking this. Well, it’s either this or no tips.

Lol at this logic. 4max is nothing -- for the casino.

Casions will not be able to pay the expenses of having 4max tables open.

This is equivalent to the restaurants who will only be allowed to open with 25% occupancy. Most places cannot even break-even like this.

I'm willing to wager, but only on the condition that they aren't allowed to spread games with more than 4 people.

They may try to make a go of 4max at first, but I don't see how they will be able to keep it up. I highly doubt 4max will drive enough traffic to justify its existence.

Don't misunderstand... I really want Vegas and Live Poker to exist in some way. I have not seen anyone suggest something that I think will work.
