> there are many parts of IRL poker that... truly suck. Play is slower than what you would like, and, if you play "correctly", the ratio of hands you are playing to time you are waiting for shuffling,dealing,etc. is quite obnoxious.
The point of poker with friends isn't to grind out hands with an optimal strategy as quickly as possible.
- josephg 5y agoIt depends on the friends group. I played Dominion with friends online a few times during the pandemic. And I adore how much faster it is. With all the counting, dealing, shuffling, VP calculations and so on taken care of, the game plays about twice as fast. And that really does enhance the experience for me and my friend group. It improves game feel. And game feel is so important.
