Description of the idea: Would add a different variant of the big poker table but with more control/spectator
With the recent poker event, it was hard as a spectator to know what was happening, this proposes basically a different table with a "dealer" position, the dealer would be able to set the big/small blinds (instead of just telling the players to bet a certain amount). Benches or chairs for spectators to sit on would allow them to use the top down camera and the UI that the players have ( not able to see players cards until they reveal obviously) They would be able to see the pot, the amount that players are betting, clearly be able to see the community cards and they would be able to see the players cards on the reveal and who wins.
The UI that pops up when interacting with the table would have new options such as: "Join table as Dealer", "Join table as Player", Join table as Spectator".
Why should this be added? (pros): Much better for players and spectators. future tournaments can be controlled more
What negatives could this have? (cons): Could be a lot to code, spectators could act like wankers though they already can. could be unnecessary as poker tournaments like the one yesterday might be rare.
*Other additions: dealer able to set buy in amount, dealer able to kick people off the table. extra chair(s) to account for lost chair from dealer pos at corners of table. Dealer could pause play inbetween rounds to allow for a break, only players in the table before the pause can rejoin the table and all chips they have remain.
