It would be nice to read in some configuration file and automatically set things like:

Blind levels
Starting chip stacks
Timeout for player actions
Pause duration between hands

Would even be better if optionally you could start games with these configurations - rather than requiring a config file - maybe the config file sets the default game

Oh, this is a very nice idea. The biggest issue I've found, though, is having to switch channels to see your cards. I know (from my own bot building experience) that you simply can't do a private message in-channel without a /slash command. So not sure there. SlackDeck (like TweetDeck) would help!

The foundations for this are in place, and player timeout is now configurable.
