Seems to me that it gives you one more late position hand to play each orbit and one more hand to play overall without having to pay a blind. Plus, in rooms with cup holders in the rail, it seems typical to have 10, so in 9-handed games, no players except seats 1 and 9 actually have cup holders in front of them.<br /><br />BTW, unless Jon came to his senses, demanding personal info to be able to see room info in the Table Captain app is still a poor user experience and keeps people from using the app, which drives fewer people to the rooms that use it.

I heard (third-hand) that they were getting requests from some of their regular visitors asking for a poker room. I think they can make a profit from a small room that isn't overwhelmingly busy but whether they decide that it's making enough money to please the suits remains to be seen.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-4522210950104517832017-09-18T00:12:58.950-07:002017-09-18T00:12:58.950-07:00That's is exactly the location it was previous...That's is exactly the location it was previously.
