Hey Phil, big fan always seemed to me to be a straight up dude and your ideas seem pretty sweet to me. Call me old school but i grew up in the live streets and poker to me is a game that is based on your own intellectual capabilities , not some software that remembers everything for you and then guides your decisions based on that . The argument that using a HUD is a skill is a bit of a joke, i mean i get it but come on. I no longer have the ability to play live much anymore due to my life situation and online poker is a nice way to satisfy the urge; but the current landscape of online poker due to software and crazy rake is untenable for a recreational player or someone who just thinks all this software shit is lame and not really poker. Maybe its a new version of poker, and fine I can accept that, but the fact you are trying to make something different , I think is awesome. I think there should be sites that are HUD friendly and sites that are not. I realize enforcement is a major obstacle but at least you are trying something to create a new type of platform, which in my opinion is much more aligned with the true spirit of the game of poker. A battle of minds.....with some luck thrown in for excitement... not a battle of minds being essentially controlled by software. Really looking forward to giving it a try.
