Hey - I am sorry if I was being pissy. I assumed that this being a question and answer thread, that you know, someone might
know something.
Perhaps you are familiar with an auto-shuffler. Even with one of these, and a getting a third person to deal, you could get maybe 40-50 hands per hour, while playing online Heads Up you could get 150-250 hands per hour, or three to five times more hands. And you need to track the blinds, which is doable, but can be a hassle.
If you were just going to throw out some answer, you could just suggest one of these
(pokertek heads up challenge). But that costs about six grand.
Now, if I have a couple of laptop computers sitting around on the dining room table, you would think it would be easy to set up a private game, but it isn't. On poker stars you can sign up for a 2 person HU SNG in ab out three seconds, but you can't control who you sit down with. You can sit down at a play money HU table, and just sit out until your friend joins you, this works effectively, but it isn't a SNG. The blinds do not increase.
So I checked out Full Tilt, and found more or less the same deal. I then wondered if there was any poker client software out there that would offer that functionality. I searched google, and sourceforge, and the software forum here, and couldn't find anything. There are a few clients that let you set up a private poker match, but nothing that can handle a private tournament. I checked out three or four other online poker sites, still no luck.
So I decide to post here in the quick Q&A, maybe someone's heard about something. The only reply I get is a picture of a deck of cards. Yeah, I could just use cards. OK, I get it.
And now you're telling me that

OK, I am sorry - I guess my asking a question here was way out of line. Never mind.
