laptops in cardrooms

[dylanb]

I'm new to all this but was wondering what peoples thought were on laptops in cardrooms especially on cash games. At my local club there always seem to be people on laptops not concentrating on the action but on whats happening on their laptops. Its not so much the people that watch films etc its the people that are playing tornies on line especially on Sunday's!!

Be interested to know peoples thoughts

I've had this issue with different people and I think you should be allowed your laptops in cardrooms, because if they continue to ban them, then why are ipads allowed too?

I like a grind at cash sometimes and be nice to be able to take your laptop in somewhere and play a satty at the same time. Ideal for when attempting for DTD biggies.

There was a discussion about this which starts about here:

Lots arguing for and against the use of laptops, tablets, phones at the table.

My thoughts are that they can be used inbetween hands, but as soon as you're in a hand (i.e. have cards) you shouldn't be using any communication device so that the game isn't interrupted and any issues relating to potential cheating are avoided.

Gets annoying when they slow things up - had a guy to my right on Saturday who was trying to fix up a date with French Girl - every hand he had to be told to get his Ante in and that the action was on him - did manage to get someone to call off against him when he was super strong so maybe it was part of his plan

Maybe when you read what I say, read it in detail.

At DtD you can play on your laptop on their site while you are at the tables, is that still the case?

I played a tournament recently when one old school pro who I won't name watched sky sports news for several hours on his phone without headphones at the table. At one point he wandered off for about ten minutes leaving it playing. Marvellous.

Yep - you can.

But to try and look cool, it might be better to get an iPad. I think that is going to be my next buy at some point next month.

The wifi connection is awful and you will be disconnected for long spells especially if it is particually busy.

I would play with my own dongle/aircard if I did that rather than using the clubs connection...
