ffs, quit talking about this idea and do it already. The sooner you get this done, the sooner you fail and fall flat on your face. If you seriously think a lot of people will stop playing at trusted sites to play at some unknown "home game site", you are truly moronic. Just face it. You are not a good poker player. You can limit play to one table, or many. You can allow huds or not. No matter what measures you take, you will never beat the game. A lot of people will never beat the game. Quit making excuses for your lack of talent, man up, and get over it because very few people really care. Your 15 minutes are up

Ya it's failed before and will fail again.

It's like a hotel offering rooms at 15.00 a night but it's roach infested and there is no staff.

A rakefree site can't work because there is no revenue nor players. People would rather pay the premium to play at a decent site with good service.

Naah. The idea at its core isn't bad. I don't know whether the technical, security, logistical, and payment issues could be overcome, but I do know that all the rake we pay ought to be solid incentive for it to be thoroughly explored by enthusiasts with more programming and network saavy than me. I just don't think Tuff is up to the job.

And he's not even really serious. In the end, if someone created a platform to accomplish free poker rooms, but they allowed multi-tabling, he would still be howling at the wind.

But give credit where credit is due. Free internet poker is a beautiful dream, and his "performance" in the "Bad Day" recording is so funny. In fact, I'm going to put it on my favorites, and play it after every bad beat to keep the right frame of mind.
