tkportersat Posted January 8, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Before I get flamed...yes I know there is a casino thread, but no one posts there. My question is...Is the poker live with a human dealer on the Spirit, or one of those dumb electronic machines? Thanks in advance for your help! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYcruzzer Posted January 8, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I don't remember if the Spirit had a live table. They do have a live 10 person table on the Gem and Dawn. They spread 1/2 no limit holdem with a tasty 10% rake with a $25.00 maximum rake. They also offered several tournies. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big green Posted January 8, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2011 in three cruises on the spirit I remember they have live texas holdem tables and also texas hod them tourns--I do not remember seeing a live five card draw or seven stud table.

rvsullivan Posted January 9, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 9, 2011 They have a live 12-14 person table. Also a tournament with multiple buy in's. 10% rake. It's a no limit table. Lots of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkportersat Posted January 10, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Very cool :) Not super excited about the 10% rake but glad they don't have those electronic pokerpro tables. Thanks for the responses :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetride Posted January 11, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 11, 2011 IMO, its not worth playing on the ships. not only is it a 10% rake, but its a $1 min. so if the BB gets a walk, the dealer just keeps the SB. the tournaments are a very quick super turbo style. you start with 20BBs, after 10-15min the blinds double and you're already down to 10BBs if you haven't taken a big pot within the first orbit or two. there isn't much play at all because its mainly shove/fold play the whole time. unless there is someone at the cash table just handing away money, its VERY tough to come out ahead.

tkportersat Posted January 11, 2011 Author #7 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Yeah, not the best but I know my husband and I will play a few times just so we can play. Still better than those Pokerpro machines, so I will be thankful they have a live game. :) IMO, its not worth playing on the ships. not only is it a 10% rake, but its a $1 min. so if the BB gets a walk, the dealer just keeps the SB. the tournaments are a very quick super turbo style. you start with 20BBs, after 10-15min the blinds double and you're already down to 10BBs if you haven't taken a big pot within the first orbit or two. there isn't much play at all because its mainly shove/fold play the whole time. unless there is someone at the cash table just handing away money, its VERY tough to come out ahead.
