Going on a cruise and the only poker table game the ship has is called Texas Hold'em Poker Pro. I checked the wizard's site, but no mention or analysis of the game. Anyone heard of this game?

Thanks

Can you post the rules or perhaps a link? The game may be similar to something currently existing but under a different name.
Someday, joor goin' to see the name of Googie Gomez in lights and joor goin' to say to joorself, "Was that her?" and then joor goin' to answer to joorself, "That was her!" But you know somethin' mister? I was always her yuss nobody knows it! - Googie Gomez

I'm fairly certain that this is an electronic dealerless version of Poker that is used by casinos that don't have poker rooms. I've heard that a lot of cruise ships use these rather than a real poker table.

Essentially, it's like playing in an online poker game, except you're all in the same room.

And I believe the rake is normally pretty high as compared to live poker rooms, so that will be the item you want to check out if you decide to play.

A company called Pokertek makes these machines. They are user friendly machines that tend to draw beginner players. The reason the rake is usually high on these machines is because they are typically in monopoly situations like cruise ships and reservations. They can set the rake to whatever. The reason they are popular on cruise ships is because it saves them a bunch not having to house poker dealers.

Seems to me that there are a lot of good sources here. I just hope that things would work out well and that you would be able to make things work out for the long run. Thanks for this one.

And some people even impersonate bots. Not sure why.
