Re: Poker by Mail
[ QUOTE ]
You're missing the point here. The two key differences are that a) you get as long as you want to make your decision, and b) the point is not to play a friendly game of poker against each other, but rather to study the play of poker.

I didn't miss the point. The idea of doing it by mail is ridiculous. The majority of decisions are fairly obvious and the amount of time to communicate is absurd when you consider we're living in the Internet age. Let alone this could've been done 50 years ago instaneously with phones and a mutual friend.
If you want to study the play of poker, experience is massively important, and I don't see how your idea provides much improvement over post-hand analysis.
If you want to be able to play poker with friends on an infinite time bank, just use one of the bajillion private poker clients availible on the net. Most are free and even open source and it won't take you a month to play a trivial hand.
I'm sorry if it's insulting, but this is just one of the most ridiculous ideas I've seen in a long time.
