Most businesses, there is some kind of information or other economy of scale when a group of similar people operate out of a single office.


Now, in Hold'em, let's suppose you play maybe 3 in every ten hands. Theoretically, you could play at three 3.3 tables at once. But even if you sat in 5 Internet tables at once, there would still be idle periods. And even if you sat in only two Internet tables, you would still occasionally find yourself playing 2 difficult hands at 2 different tables at the same time.


But if 15 people played at 50 tables, there would almost always be 1 hand per player, and each player could triple his hourly rate. So you Vegas guys should start a Paradise office, and hire a computer-networking expert to set it up for you. The longest-idle player gets the next hand dealt.


Tracking and rewarding/penalizing individual performances is really no trouble.

Plus, not only could you have, like, computer-assisted pre-flop strategy - to take N players up to N * 5 tables - but you could also have live opponent-profile pop-ups, technical analysis of fish-population frequency patterns...


...I could write a thousand pages!

I would like an autofolder. Just fold, fold, fold all those J2o and 73o. You could even feed it some S&M strategy...

Hey, Why bother having 5 players. Build software robots to play 15 poker sites 24-7 with 100 players each. Access Turbo's player libraries to make decisions for you. You just read the log files for overview and check the bankroll fluctuations. Wall Street does it, why not poker players!

The way I see it ultimately breaking down is 2 or 3 random human players (fish), 5 or 6 bots from 2 or, usually, 1 multi-hand mainframe, and 1 desk player from our cartel, at each table.


The multi-hand computers will basically take pure fish money about as fast as we can, like a slot machine. And then by executing a slightly-finer texture - and by weighting in on their tendencies - we'll pick the computers' pockets - 17 seats per desk player taking seamless automated handoffs.


It all comes down to "tree-reading." In other words, when a human expert gets dropped into an ongoing hand, he has about 3 seconds to "read the tree" - an on-screen display with the other seats in the left column, you on the right, and the board cards in the middle - and make a decision. The only human decision will be a binomial choice between "standard" and "deviation." If deviation is not selected in 5 seconds, the computer will execute standard, and present the next tree.


Each desk player could make about $420,000.00 a year.


Or something:)
