I would love to be able to enter a tourney and have someone concentrate on player reaction while I crunch numbers. Tell ya what. I'll play you heads up with my eyes closed the whole time but I get to have someone whispering to me the whole time following your rules of what is OK and what is not.
Sound good?

So u are saying you would play poker better if you were blind and had someone whispering your hole cards to you? Why? Wouldn't you rather be able to see your opponents for yourself and make your own judgments rather than rely on someone else's eyes?

The idea that this is some huge advantage for the blind guy is silly. Bottom line: he cannot play unless someone tells him what cards he has. It is wrong to deny him the chance to play when a simple adjustment ("reasonable accommodation" in ADA terms) can allow him to participate.

And as for the guy who played with his feet... if u lost your arms tomorrow u think you should be banned from poker tournaments because some random opponent thinks feet are "gross"?

QFT. I just cannot believe how many disgusting and selfish responses there are in this thread. So Hal and the guy who used his feet should just stay at home because they offend you?
