Poker?

[Matt]

Just curious...any other poker players on the board? I play online frequently, as well as in our home game, not to mention two trips to Vegas over the summer.

[JMello]

I play on ESPN or Full Tilt occasionally. Home games semi-frequently.

[gatekeeper]

I play home games but not online or at casinos.

I don't like losing $ that much.

[sickman]

I dont play as much as I would like. I used to play online before the government pushed that BS law through.

[GrumpyBigBee]

I play but less now than I did a while back before the new kid.

That law has had no effect on me being able to play online. All it does is restrict depositing money into your account. And I didn't play at Party Poker, so I've seen no effect at all.

[GrumpyBigBee]

I never even knew they passed that until the other day. =)

I love playing poker, but I am mostly into playing at home games. Occassionally I will play in a casino, but I don't like it as much without the friendly banter.

I'd love to do a Hold'em tourney at G-con this year. Maybe a Friday or Saturday night activity.

[Trent Lawless]

Just what I was thinking, TM.

Of course, my 4-year-old can sometimes beat me at Hold'em...

We'd have plenty of time Friday night at the Holiday Inn to hold a tournament while we wait for our food....I think I finally got served 2 hours after ordering last year, no lie.

But seriously, it would be a cool idea.

I am also a poker player. I used to play online but I don't really have the time to anymore. When my friends and I go up to a friends cabin we usually get a good 3-4 games in throughout the weekend.

OK, Mark you are definately in. Just make sure you wear a sign that says dead money.

BTW, in thinking of ideas for new Filsinger Games products, I was thinking about creating a set of custom playing cards for COTG characters. Have Wolf as the Ace of Spades, Mad Jester as a Joker, Exo King as a King of Diamonds, Killer Queen and Phantasy as Queens, JOD as...well Jack of Diamonds, etc. I think it would be a cool item, but I am not sure if it would be profitable enough to pursue.

Hey, I'd buy it!

[GOODZILLA]

I like the poker idea. Only instead of money, I say we gamble with out new game cards.

"I'll see your Sectarian and raise you one Thunder"

;D

[the_faction]

Play lots of poker out here as well. I host a bi-weekly friday night game with about 12-14 others and we play hold 'em tournament style where depending on how many show up we pay out the top 25% finishers.

Of course being the stat/tournament junkie that i am, i keep stats on all competitors based on positions finished, appearanced, and who you knocked out. I then hold the tournies in "seasons". Meaning that every 12 games is a season and the top 6 money earners for the that season are invited to a special higher stakes invitational that is winner take all. We're just about done with our 4th season only 2 more games to go and we don't look like we're slowing down going into season 5.

[sickman]

Thats a cool idea....wish I could get into something like that.

[Matt]

Agreed. That is a cool idea. For a while we kept "points" based on what place you finished in. Once you hit 100 points, you got a free buy-in. I like your idea better.

Yeah, I'd certainly buy this.

About poker, I play. But I spend most of my time in casinos at the sports book.
