A buddy of mine and I want to multi-table against each other up to 50 play money tables at once, but with a 24 hour time bank on each table so that we can spend lots of time analyzing ranges and bet sizes very methodically as we play.
Does anyone know if this sort of software exists, and if not, any ideas how we could create this? I considered asking for a third party to message us individually the hole cards, flop, turn, and river as we need them, but this seems rather cumbersome.
Any ideas, or anyone interested in playing this format if we figure it out?

Did you mean to post that in the Poker Theory forum?

Yes, but I’m happy for this to be moved to a more suitable area. I posted here in hope that someone might be interested in the problem solving aspect of this.

What's the point of playing 50 tables if you are going to take so much time?

To keep the action moving. Most of the decisions will be pretty quick, especially preflop. But there will be some decisions that take 20-30 mins to work through. Having multiple hands going at the same time means that we can both be working on hands whenever we have the time to fit a session into our schedule.
Same reason I play 20 games of scrabble at a time.

Heads up nlh should not need 30 minutes of study since ranges are so wide.

Also, what can you learn during a hand that you can not learn after the hand is over?

I think there is a lot of value to considering future outcomes before seeing the actual hand. Knowledge of actual cards can really skew your thought process or analysis. So in that sense it is often really nice to do an in-depth analysis before seeing the cards, laying out your potential actions based on future cards and actions, guessing what the player will do if certain cards come out, etc.

I don't know of any software that would facilitate this, tbh.

Frankly, I just think I will find it more fun. A live game/hand analysis study session hybrid.

Hopefully a few people would be interested in figuring out a method for doing this so we could get a 6max table going.

This sounds a bit like a correspondence chess competition in which chess engines are allowed. You could use a poker solver (like Pio or GTOrb) to compute solutions to each tricky spot.

Various illegal bots can make decisions according to algorithms without the operator even needing to be at the table, but the strongest solvers and poker calculators need minutes or hours to "solve" the strategy, and these tools cannot be directly linked to the poker client.

One person takes a turn as the dealer who shuffles and deals, everyone else plays the hand by correspondence.
