I host a monthly single table Cash game 25¢/50¢. Coming into the winter months it feels like interest in attending is up, and I'm not working as hard to make sure I get a full game. This last week we played 9 handed, and I didn't send invites out to the "b" list like I was over the summer. The folks at my game are mostly co-workers, and I would say this game would be considered social for about half the players, with the other half more interested in the actual poker (I fall in this portion). I haven't kept an accurate count, but I would say that the numbers of hands being played per hour are low. Is it low due to talking between hands, reminding someone the actions on them or slow shuffling. There's no way Im going to be able to implement two decks with the crew I have right now, which is why Im thinking Shuffle Tech should be the next investment.
So my question is do you think a shuffle tech would solve the slow play problems and generate more hands being played without having to force action on slow shufflers? Im not really interested on what my return on investment will be, as building a table, getting chips and hosting are all done because I generally enjoy it. I would love to hear feed back from folks that have shuffle techs, any testaments or warnings about getting one, or anyone that shares the same desire to add one to their home game.
