It makes more sense than you think. Pokertek tried introducing electronic tables ten years ago – got Phil Laak to promote it, even – and it completely flopped.

Yea I played on one of those table one time at I think Excalibur. It was terrible.
An insurmountable issue with respect to poker is that most people who play live poker are physically disgusting scumbags with atrocious hygiene and no concept of caring about other humans.

The number of people who should be at the same poker table based on experts is exactly zero. So this list is fine and all but completely negated by that one inconvenient fact.
Most Vegas casinos (at least the ones on the strip) were in horrible financial condition prior to Covid-19. I don’t see many of them surviving this outside of bankruptcy reorganization and there is a good chance many of them are shuttered at least until after this is over.

Not really seeing how live poker is not going to be an all or nothing proposition. In other words, a vaccine or a cure is required or forget it. And playing the WSOP? What? If anything, now is the time to use it as a springboard to lobbying for legal online poker.
Social distancing, it works! Hooray! Time to cut that shit out and GET BACK TO BUSINESS.

My understanding is Vegas casinos were doing fine except for their absurd debt levels.
Ever? What do you think the state of casinos and covid-19 will be in 5 years? 10 years?
Why not?
With his casinos closed, and after he suspended the Sands’ dividend the other day, let Sheldon do the GOP arm-twisting. After all, he was the largest GOP donor the last 2 cycles, and it sounds like he could use the online rake to pay dividends again.

They will be able to get bailouts.
So what does the probationary period look like: readings from Ludwig and Murray, gold-panning and newsletter sales and distribution with Ron and Rand, endless navel-gazing through sleeveless leather vests?

Futures expire tomorrow which means if you are left holding the bag you have to take physical delivery of it. No one wants to or has the capacity to.
