Why can't a billion dollar casino put cup holders on or in their poker tables?

You get more calls of raises out of the blinds which creates bigger pots which means more raising on the flop and turns.

Oh I thought you meant more hands happening per hour, when it seemed to me it would be the opposite.


Bad players tend to play too many hands already. I don't understand how making loose play less bad will give them a greater skill disadvantage, it seems like it will even the playing field and punish nits.

You want the recreational players to lose the maximum in the long run. If you upset the balance of luck and skill so that their loss rate is too high, many of them will quit before they lose the maximum. That's not good for the poker room, and it's not good for the better players. See my Cardrooms book for more discussion:
