| His card reader must be fast, and Hal must make his decisions even quicker. |

| i doubt someone does read for him. with audio output i think it is very possible for a blind person to do stuff like playing poker. he can also use audio input to control a lot of stuff. maybe he does not need a mouse at all? the concrete setup would be very interesting though. |

i imagine a sexy voice telling him: you have drawn KsKdTsQd and he answers "raise pot" 
i know some guys who have issues with writing who use voice input to write posts in forums or write email. actually the posts are often much better then the ones i see from many average persons. =o
something like this will be used: http://www.abilityhub.com/vision/blind.htm
still... maybe we can get this guy to post a video on youtube?  |

| I've met hal at the mirage, i live here in vegas, he got me into the rakeback program via full tilt, and since i play plo high its the ONLY reason to play here because full tilts plo games are notoriously much nitter than other sites. |
