Assume for a few moments that the heavens opend up and showered you with totally legalized moderately taxed online poker.

There are no barriers to entry save filling requirements for security and integrity.

Advertising is legal and common. Competition is fierce.

Now, a dark angel has cursed you and you are forbidden to ever actually play online. Immediate family members and close friends are similarily cursed.

BUT, you are given the means to open an online poker site of your own.

Put yourself outside your current situation, and try to imagine being in the situation I have described.

If, while running your very own poker site, would you allow any or all of the following. Please give your reasoning why.

This is a serious question, I am trying to construct some talking points to present lawmakers at all levels of government.

Would you:

Allow you allow multitabling? Yes to multitabling, but 4 max
How many? 2, 4, 8, Unlimited?

Allow unlimited datamining? NO DATAMINING, this is a cheap win to win at poker imo

Restrict hand histories to hands in which the player was dealt cards? Yes to block the dataminers

Allow PAHUD? Forbid PAHUD type programs. Forbid. Lets play some real poker

Show table statistics in the lobby like % players to the flop, average size of pot? Yes, I see no problem with this

Have a "buddy" list? Forbid a "buddy" list and take steps to prevent one being used? Allow buddy list

Have tight requirements on time to act, or be liberal? stars setup is perfect(except for the added time for ppl who disconnect)

Allow players to transfer funds, or forbid it? Allow

Allow players to buy in with credit cards, or allow only debit cards or transfers from the dozens of e-wallets? Allow everything

Try to remember, you are not the player, you are the owner. The start up costs were a couple of million, and there is unfettered competition.

BTW, I am disgusted with how little the PPA has done, while I can do plenty in my spare time.

Thanks,

Tuff
