Seems like it will just slow the game down while players do a zillion chip tricks, scratch various body parts, layout their cards, blink, and so on. Having to memorize a half dozen schemes seems like a waste of time. [/ QUOTE ] LOL, good point! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Also I agree with curtains that the structure seems overly complicated. |

The only advantage of requiring this obtuse signalling mechanism is the off chance some one can break your code. Given the tools at the players disposal, if your code is broken, your an idiot. Betweening mixing together chip tricks, card placement, body motions, and so on there are an infinite number of ways to encode your hand value. Switch between them every x hands and it is going to be very hard to break. Sitting there watching some one riffle his chips 4 times, do 1 knuckle roll, 2 chip rolls, peak at his hole cards five times, adjust his glasses 4 times, scratch his nose once is going to really suck. And then when your partner gives you the sign that he didn't get the info, you have to rinse and repeat. |

They have a unique opportunity of trying to "decode" the gestures from the players. I would definitely watch that show. |
