Could you build this?

Partial A social network with forums and feed embeds is standard, but the embedded fast poker equity and ICM calculators require specialized Monte Carlo simulation engines and game-theory algorithms.

What it would actually take: The stack needs a standard web/mobile backend (Node/Postgres/WebSockets for feeds and chats) coupled with a high-performance poker engine written in Rust or C++ compiled to WebAssembly. The engine must compute hand rankings, combinatorial hand ranges, Monte Carlo simulations for multi-way equity, and Malmuth-Harrington ICM payouts with low latency.
