Either you guys don't understand when the odds show, or I am not seeing an advantage for a bad player. If I have pocket jacks and go all in after the flop, 1 player calls, everyone else folds. We flip our cards, then the odds show. My pocket jacks might be 80%, or they might be 10% depending on what the other person has. It doesn't tell me if this was a good move or not for the future.

You can look at your cards whenever you want by placing your hands over a spot on your monitor...same motion as if you were peeking at real cards. I thought it would be easy for others to see your cards, but it is very safe.

Yes, very non-traditional, but I can see casinos adopting this. No dealer needed, 1 or 2 pit bosses ran all the tables. No sign ups, no additional cashiers, since you go to the cage and put $x dollars on your players card, then put your card in the table when you are ready to play and it takes the money electronically. Games move faster, more hands played per hour, etc.

I still like cards and chips, but I like playing this table too.
