poker while i drive

I know it might sound like an unsafe idea.... but

anyone know if there's a way to play poker while you drive?

I've got this killer commute and it would be a lot easier on me if i could play poker, 1 table would be fine for me, was thinking voice activated (hands free, comparable to talking on a cell phone).

Any ideas, also do they have anything available for cell phones?

thanks

You can't be serious. What roads will you be driving? I need to avoid those.

Actually I've been told that there are pros who do this, they prefer driving to tournaments over flying, so that they can still play.....

dunno how they're doing it though

been thinking about maybe a laptop, with some type of chip that allows it to be voice response. Perhaps use a cell phone as a modem (this is possible isn't it).....

wondering if this would work, is there a better way

what about one of those navigation systems set up to a computer....?

I read it in a thread here in 2+2 that eric lundgren does this when driving to vegas. I think he just uses a laptop and a cell phone on doesn't sound too hard. Though I don't think I would do it.

Don't do it. It's -EV and it's not even close.

Please tell us where you live and what kind of car you have so we can avoid you. Oh, and get some help.
