So does anyone here play poker, if so what game?
And are you up for a H.D.C championship online?

I play, and I might be down. I'm real busy lately, but depending on what time you held it I'd definately be interested.

I play Hold 'em and wouldn't mind playing an hdc tournament.

Well if we can get a few more interested over the next week I will set it up, I am rather new to hold em , but it seems to be the biggest on the tournament circut....
I like five card myself, but we will work something out...

Texas Hold 'Em, I would school you all in that.

Texas Hold 'Em, I would school you all in that.
Looks like another challenger...
But I think for us to have a true tournament we will have to play a few different games, games where one may be strong and another not so strong, in the end it's all poker...
I'll wait and see how many people are interested then I'll work it all out..

I'm down for some poker.Hold em or 5 card draw is good either way for me.
Disease

Perhaps we could have two rounds one of five card and one of hold em... I'll work it all out, we still need more players though...

Oh goody, five card draw...anyway, I remember bwind mentioning that he played as well, might be able to get him in on this.

Well I have no idea where all you guys play. I usually go to Hoyle. If you wanna check that place out... :-

I play alot of poker, mostly Omaha H/L. My online poker money is at AbsolutePoker. Where were you guys thinking of playing. Schedule permitting, I'd be in for sure.

Omaha almost sucks as much as five card draw.

Well, that's eight, which is enough.
Disease

Well when should we do this thing?
We need to decide on a venue and a time, I'm just about to go away for 3 or 4 days, you have to wait till I'm back I says!

Omaha almost sucks as much as five card draw.
That's what everyone that's no good at it says. ;)
It doesn't matter to me though, I'll stomp some asses in hold'em too.
The hardest part about this will be finding a place to play I think.
Poke her.....I hardly know her.
sorry

I've honestly never really played too much, I've been at a table where it was being played a couple times, saw it on tv during the world series and it just wasn't appealing.

I still say Hoyle is the best place. It loads up quick, is free, the graphics and interaction is awesome...and the poker kicks ass!!:D

That sounds like it has potential.
Would we be able to have a 9 or 10 person single table sit-n-go tourney that was like password protected or something so random strangers couldn't just sign up?
_____V_____
10-05-2007, 05:05 AM
The max capacity of a Hoyle poker table is 8.
If we have more players, we can have 2 equal tables, with winners advancing to a next single-table stage.
bwind22
10-05-2007, 07:04 AM
Is there any way a random person ould end up in our game or is there a way we can like password protect our table?

It can be locked. We can invite members from the lobby into it.

I guess I am out because I tried to play from that sight and it wouldn't load. I think it's because I am running on a Mac.

It should work on a Mac. Try the forums for an answer.

Did you guys go ahead and do this yet?
Disease
10-08-2007, 05:43 PM
did everyone lose interest already?
GorePhobia
10-08-2007, 06:59 PM
I still wanna do it but I can't do it on that site that they suggested.
bwind22
10-08-2007, 08:52 PM
We haven't gotten it organized yet, Disease.
That site didn't load for me right away either, but I didn't really sit there and fart around with it to make things work. I just tried to load it, saw it didn't and went about my business. If and when we pick a date, I'll make sure I have the site functional by then.
AUSTIN316426808
10-08-2007, 09:04 PM
So we're definately using the site V suggested?
Disease
10-09-2007, 05:47 AM
Well I haven't tried it yet, I suggest if too many people are having trouble with it we will have to find an alternative.. but let's try and decide on a date.. A Halloween poker night with Halloween radio could be cool, but maybe to hard to organize...
Disease
11-11-2007, 05:39 PM
Are we going to do this or what?
If there is still interest lets get it organized.
GorePhobia
11-11-2007, 05:51 PM
Like I said I wanna do it but we need to organize a site.
The site they suggested don't work for me. Has anyone else tried fully yet?
ChronoGrl
11-13-2007, 07:25 AM
Ooooo... I'd definitely be interested... Is the plan real money or free play?
I'm more of an Omaha fan myself, but HorrorForum Holdem sounds good too.
I'll see whether or not I can get on the site after work today or tomorrow... :)
EDIT: Actually, that might have been a stupid question... A lot of online sites do not allow US players to play with real money (or don't allow US player at all) so as to avoid the current US gambling laws.
Another option is to pick a freeplay site and join a tournament that's already scheduled.
Example: www.everestpoker.net
It's a free play site that already has Scheduled Tournaments. Conceivably, we could all sign up for the same Scheduled Tournament and play at the same time.
That is, if we can't find software that'll allow us to create our own tournament that everyone can use.
...
Thoughts?

I am still interested in playing in, but not organizing, this.
If we're playing for no cash, I'll play anywhere, just link me there. If we're playing for real cash, I'm only interested in playing at Absolute Poker since I've already got money in an account there.
Disease
11-13-2007, 11:36 AM
If it's difficult for you American folk to play with real cash... and I'd rather it be for bullshit money anyway, let's organise that...
Maybe after a few tournies we could raise the stakes.

11-13-2007, 01:34 PM
I'm ready to get this thing rolling.
ChronoGrl
11-14-2007, 05:30 AM
Yeah, I'm definitely in... The problem is finding software that allows you to organize your own tournaments...
The only ones that I know of are www.pokerroom.com, but that does not accept US players (and they do not allow you to organize tournament for Free Play) and PokerStars, but they only allow their "VIP Players" to organize personal tournaments.
So I think that there's definitely interest, but there's no medium...
And I'm actually a fount of useless knowledge on the subject because I work for a software company that designs and maintains the software for a poker website, so I know a little about the big Internet competitors.
HOWEVER, there might be some smaller competitors that allow members to organize personal tournaments... I don't know of any, though. Sorry. :(

Everyone needs PS3, the eye of judgement, and a deck of cards.
Play poker online, just like that.
JUST LIKE THAT!

Absolute only allows you to organize PTs if you're a VIP...
http://absolutepoker.com/tournaments/private.asp

Allows PT creation, but no Real Money Deposits for US players...

For you non-US players, though, the software looks pretty smooth...

I guess I am just going to have to sit out because I have a Mac.
I have a game that I play called Torn City and its like a text based crime game that has a "casino" where you can play cards and start you own tournament's but you need to earn money in the game in order to play.
