I love how you incorporated online poker design idioms into your interface. Did you talk about that in your initial pitch to YC or is that something you decided on later?

Yes, we did. We're definitely incorporating a lot of what made online poker so successful.
Will I be able to multi-table drafts? What's the official stance on bots? Just kidding. Halfway. This is a great idea and I hope you guys do well. Is there a friendly rivalry with Chris Fargis going on?

Yes, you can multi-table. Bots aren't really a worry in this, since you can already set a draft queue, and soon we'll have customizable rankings. We (and all other FS sites) basically have a bot built in for you.
