Yeah I'd be in on this too. I have a Full Tilt account but have been meaning to sign up on Poker Stars.

[Govtcheez]

I used to use Full Tilt all the time

[stealth]

Played it a bit over the last year, but too many wankers.

[Steve]

Lets set a date and time =] I cant do tuesdays, or the 27th. Any other night is fine

[charlie]

I can't do Wednesdays, or the 27th. Or the 13th or 14th or the 28th. It would be hard to do before 8pm eastern time on a weekday, but I might be able to start earlier. Saturday or Sunday the 20th or 21st would probably be cool, any time would be ok.

[Steve]

I'm down for the 20th. Maybe we can do it while the games are on we'll be able to play poker, talk shit, and watch football

[charlie]

Even though I prefer PokerStars over the other sites I've used, I'm not convinced it's the best place for an esink poker party. You really wouldn't be able to stop other people from joining while we were playing, and if you wanted to make it a tournament that wouldn't work at all. If you just wanted to play it like a cash game and if other people joined its ok, then fine. That might have to happen anyway since it might be difficult to get everybody online at the same time.

There was another site, http://www.pokerroom.com/ I think, where I was able to set up a private table. It doesn't do a tournament for you, but you can still keep only those people you want at the table.

Hmm... according to this: http://www.planetpoker.com/games/tournaments.asp planetpoker might allow private play money tournaments. Maybe I'll look into that this week.

You know what would be a fun project would be to write and build a program that allowed people to run private poker tournaments. Too bad we probably don't have time and energy to do it well.

[Steve]

I dont have the programming skills to do it but its a very good idea. Yea if you find a way to do a private table im game. im willing to pay on any site/client we need to, PS is just my regular

something like this might make an easy staring point. Also has AI for those lonely nights.

or these:

[charlie]

Cool I'll check those out. I actually have my own thrown together mini-app that deals cards and understands which hands win, but I'd much rather look at something that was already working and tested.


I checked out PlanetPoker. Crap!!! And it doesn't let you setup private play money tournaments, so don't waste your money.

[Steve]

the test gives me a 92. not too bad since i dont know some of the terms, and since it isnt made after my style at all. I dont play buy "the book" so its not overly accurate for me.

[Cshot]

Scored 121 on that quiz

heheh so what is your style RoD? The losing style? No wonder they didn't make the quiz based on that!

[KnuckleBuckett]

Yes.

Hell yeah you show em!

When we play I've got dibs on sitting to RoD's left.
