Also, not a fan of the poker pro tables at all. I get their advantage, but I have never been more bored playing poker in my life then sitting around with strangers staring at computer screens and pushing buttons. You can get used to anything, but this is not something I want to get used to.
Looking forward to playing a few circuit events with actual poker chips, cards, and dealer errors n all. It's a pretty nice casino although they never have rooms thu-sat it seems. Most hotels down the street have a shuttle on the hour running back and forth though from what I saw, and if you have to walk from one that's close by its probably no more then a mile.

thanks for giving the tables a try and taking the time to post. I respect your comments.
I play quite a bit of live poker in casinos all over. In my experience, fun social tables are hit or miss. I have many times sat down in a cash game in after not a single word being uttered for two rounds I usually say something like "is talking not allowed here". That usually lightens up the table. I take it on my self to get the table more social.
I dont get to play PokerPro in casinos for money but from observation, of which I've had years and years of, as new players on PokerPro are getting use to this form of poker it will for sure divert their focus. I've seen very social games and other games where that is not the case. imo it depends partly on the mix of players in the game. If you are playing with players who are mostly non-social, the first thought that comes to mind to most is that its due the table.
But all that being said, loving poker like do, and having graduated from NC state in '86 and living in NC ever since, my excitement level of getting a circuit event here cannot be put into words.
April 4th cannot come soon enough. Feels like I'm a kid waiting for Christmas.
Hope to see you there.
