Texas Hold 'em Night!!

[Matt]

Hey you guys!

I would love to set up a poker or texas holdum night. Maybe something we could do every week just like we were real body friends. :lol:

We can have up to 10 players and I would love to test it out.

So who is up for a quick game tonight? Starting at around 11pm EST

You can come in anytime but we need at least two to start, you may also leave anytime.

If we have a lot interested, we could begin poker tournaments. :excited:

Also, anyone willing to mess around with it today, please let me know

[Odetta]

hmmm... I should be around... I'm in!

[Daghain]

Me too!

[Matt]

Sweet you guys, we'll do it up.

Can anyone test it with me during the day today

[Daghain]

Love to, but work, yanno. :(

[Darkthoughts]

Hmmm...what time would it be here when its 11pm with you guys?

I can test run it with you Matt. I'm going out in a bit, I'll pm you when I'm back :D

[Matt]

Great!

That is actually 11PM on the East Coast--so it will be 9PM in Colorado.

I am not sure what it would be where you are in Europe but I am assuming several hours ahead of that. :(

[Darkthoughts]

That'll be one for the weekend for me then :D

[Matt]

I can try to do them at a better time if international folks want to get in but for this test...we'll miss you :couple:

But I would love it if you could test it with me later.

[Darkthoughts]

I sure can...and no worries on the time thing, I shouldn't really be looking for excuses to stay up later than I already do with 3 kids :P

[Daghain]

See if this helps:

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/custom.html?sort=1

Looks like you're 5 hours later than EST, so it would be 4am for you.

[Matt]

Holy shit!! That is early.

We may have to have a "day" (here in the US) game.

But I can drink at noon so I am good

[Mike Beck]

i'm down for this!!! maybe not tonight, but weekend would be rad. i'm an old man. i'll probably be asleep before midnight. :(

[Matt]

I had set that late because of all you young party kids :lol:

I would be willing to do it earlier if the 4 of us want to try it. I am home by 8p EST which would be 6 PM here. :rock:

[Mike Beck]

i could swing it at 9 ish. fo sho.

[Matt]

EST?

That would work great for me too.

That's 7PM here in Colorado

[Daghain]

I'm probably available anytime after 7pm MST. :D

[Asterisco]

What time would it be in Buenos Aires?

[Mike Beck]

8pm? that's just a guess.

[Mike Beck]

i was off. it'd be 10pm in Buenos Aires.

[Matt]

:o

It would be so cool if we could get a few together.

Use the time calc that was posted there you guys--official start time tonight is 9PM EST

[Ari_Racing]

Since I live in Buenos Aires, I'll try to participate.
Which kind do you play? Open? Closed?

[Matt]

I don't know much about the rules so I am hoping someone wouldn't mind coming out today and testing it with me.

But here is what is posted on the welcome screen


Limit Texas Hold 'em
Betting continues until all players have called or raised.
Raises on the first two betting rounds must be equal to the Big Blind
Raises on the last two betting rounds must be equal to the Double Big Blind
Blinds are $2 and $4.
Turn's have a 1 minute time limit to act, after that you will fold automatically. A warning comes up with 20 seconds left.
A hand can start anytime 2 or more players have pushed "Ready"

[Daghain]

Sounds like you can join in anytime, but we'll have to test it to see. :D

[Matt]

Yep, I believe you can. I am going to try and get one going with Dora when I get home so people can simply join when they come out.

[Matt]

I just hope it works after all this :lol:

It actually has a chat so we can talk to eachother.

[Daghain]

Hey, will you fix your spelling in the title of the thread? It's Hold 'em, not Holdum. :lol:

Yeah, I'm picky like that. :D

[Matt]

pfft--yeah, I got nothing going on. :lol:

I think I will take the word Poker out too, its just Hold 'em night.

[Daghain]

:D Thanks. You're a peach.

[Matt]

:ninja:

This was REALLY fun you guys. There is a chat in there, folks will tell you how to play.

If you know how to play poker at all, you should give it a try. :rock:

[Daghain]

Even if you don't, it's still fun! :D

[Darkthoughts]

Cool, glad it worked - I couldn't get on last night because Rob was hogging the laptop playing poker online (he plays for money though - he's slightly obsessed). They have a chat thing on the Ladbrokes site he goes to, its pretty cool.

[Matt]

Here is the reason for the "ready" button. I know it was a question last night


That's intentional, it never deals a hand to someone unless they say they are in. Otherwise people leaving the room or folding and then going to the bathroom or whatever could end up getting dealt in when they aren't there. Also gives each player a chance to look at the cards everyone had (unless they folded)

[Daghain]

A-HA! :D

[Daghain]

Anyone up for a game?

[Odetta]

I'll play!

[Daghain]

You're on!

[Daghain]

There's a game in the poker room - lots of seats! Come play!

[Matt]

I'm going to be looking to get a game together in about an hour if anyone is interested.

[Matt]

Me and Hannah have a game going if anyone wants in :rock:

[Matt]

In there again if anyone wants a piece of me. :lol:

[Darkthoughts]

And me!

[Matt]

Woohoo! I'm in

[Kevin]

In there now if anyone wants to join in.

[Matt]

there is a way to put a tiny little bit at the very top of the forum that will say if there is a poker game in progress.

too much?

[Brice]

I don't think so.

[Daghain]

I for one would LOVE that feature. :D Much easier than trying to post to get a game going.

[Matt]

Sweet!

I was worried about clutter :lol:

But if Daggers is for it, I know its good.

[Daghain]

:lol:

It's just because it's poker. Don't get your hopes up. :lol:

[Matt]

And there it is, doesn't actually say who but that is pretty cool.

It won't be there if no one is in the room playing. :rock:

[Daghain]

That's actually pretty unobtrusive. :D

[Matt]

That's what I thought, better up there than the bottom and I'm thinking it won't be there at all most days.

[Daghain]

Cool. :D

[Daghain]

Poker anyone?

[Kevin]

I'm in there now, come play if you feel like getting wupped. :cool:

[Daghain]

He means it too. :lol:

[Matt]

This Friday night!!

Seriously, lets get drunk and FUCK...I mean, play poker :excited:

Who is with me???

[Daghain]

Ah, Fridays don't work for me. :( Quality time with DBF, yanno. Have fun!

[Jean]

I will try to join if I get up really early on Saturday. I'll do my best because I would love to play!

[Matt]

Ah, Fridays don't work for me. :( Quality time with DBF, yanno. Have fun!

We could do Saturday too if that works better Daggers

[Daghain]

Weekends in general, I'm not available. :lol:

[Matt]

Dang :(

Okay, we'll see what we can do about that.

Hopefully Jean can play though :nana:

[Kevin]

Is there a specific start time, or end time for that matter? I'll try to be there as best I can, I think I have work but it usually ends around 9PM. I'll be tired as hell from both work and the concert I'm going to the night before but I'll be there.

This is going to be a good reason to post more, because I lost all my money playing blackjack. :lol:

[Daghain]

Anyone up for some poker?

[Darkthoughts]

If its not too crazy a time I'll be in Matt!

[Kevin]

No free seats available? :doh:

[Matt]

post it up man, and you also get 50 bucks just for showing up everyday. :rock:

[Kevin]

Cool, I didnt know about the 50$ thing. I mean, I come here everyday anyways but...goood to know. I'm in poker by myself right now, its quite lonely. Come play. :evil:

[Matt]

:lol:

I have a few minutes, I'll be right there

[Kevin]

Sweet. :D

[Matt]

I'm there waiting

**taps foot with money in hand**

[Kevin]

What?? So am I... :angry:

[Matt]

Looks like something happened again...its freakish tonight.

I need to put on that upgrade.

[Matt]

Dang Kevin, sorry I ran out on you last night.

The trickortreaters descended on us like the Normandy invasion :(

No one was at the house but me.

[Kevin]

I'm angry. Thats unnaceptable. Poker over giving cute kids candy, eveytime. :nope:

:lol:

Kidding! Daggers and Brice came in later and we played for a bit...I hope you had a good halloween. :)

[Matt]

Just had a great little game with Letti, this is so fun.

So there will be two game that I am involved in for tonight and tomorrow (maybe an early morning one can make it easier for our international members)

Tonight: 8PM EST

Sat Morn: 10AM EST

[Brice]

And does anyone wanna' play now?

[Matt]

I would but my boss just came back into the bank and he would frown on that. :lol:

I would end up sitting out every hand

[Brice]

Just tell him to go to his little office and leave you the hell alone.





It is NEVER a good idea to listen to my work advice. :lol:

[Matt]

We got a game going :rock:

Come on in and play if you like

[Matt]

In for a game if anyone wants to play :)

[Brice]

I do. :rock:

[Matt]

What a suck that was too Brice. Right when everyone came home. :(

Up for some now if anyone is interested. :rock:

[Brice]

Oh, it's cool man. I could play for a few minutes, but then I'll have to get ready for work.

[Matt]

anyone else up for a little afternoon game? :D

[Odetta]

bring it on!

(and your money)

[Matt]

Woohoo!! I'm in there and ready to go.

(as soon as I get a drink and a smoke) :ninja:

[Brice]

I'd play, but I keep breaking myself playing Blackjack.

[Jean]

I can never ever catch anyone!

::bangs head against wall::

[Mattrick]

Where do we play this?

[Darkthoughts]

Click on the "casino" link at the top of the page, then click "start game" :)

[Odetta]

matt kicked my ass yesterday...
it was my own damn fault... I was being a little too... gutsy.


(and by gutsy, I mean stupid)

[Darkthoughts]

Feeling gutsy right now?...Wanna play me? :D

[Odetta]

let's go!

[Darkthoughts]

I'm waiting...:D

[Matt]

matt kicked my ass yesterday...
it was my own damn fault... I was being a little too... gutsy.


(and by gutsy, I mean stupid)

I'm getting a little better :ninja:

Great playing for a bit today :fairy:

[Matt]

I'm up for hold um if anyone wants some money :lol:

[Matt]

I'm there again this morning if anyone feels like playing. :rock:

[Erin]

Anyone down for a few games of poker tonight? I've got a bunch of money right now and i'm itching to gamble it! :lol:

[John Blaze]

i'm there, but I'll be in and out, I'm at work.

[Matt]

Anyone down for a few games of poker tonight? I've got a bunch of money right now and i'm itching to gamble it! :lol:

Dang! Wish I didn't miss this offer. :cool:

[Erin]

We will have to play sometime soon, Matt. I'm a beginner and it's so much fun (especially since it's not "real" money" :lol: )! JohnBlaze has been teaching me all about it. :couple:

[John Blaze]

::Ted on Scrubs::

"she knows my name!"

I'm heading in there tonight. Anyone want to donate to my kid's college fund?

[Matt]

I'm in there if anyone is interested.

[Odetta]

I'm read to play, if anyone's interested!

[Míchéal]

[Míchéal]

If anyone's up for a game, i'm ready.

[John Blaze]

[Míchéal]

i'm trying to get in.

[John Blaze]

im waiting on you....

[John Blaze]

hey, my work computer is not working with this anymore.

some fucktard was doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing on this computer, which about 12 people share, and now they blocked almost everything. It's a miracle they haven't removed the internet alltogether.

:(

[Míchéal]

When I click START GAME its just kicking me out... WTF?

[John Blaze]

maybe it's not just me.

i lets me click start game the first time, but when it gets to the table i can't click start game.

[Matt]

Is someone else in there when you try John? It can only be played by two or more.

[Míchéal]

come on folks, i'm at the table and ready to go. :)

[John Blaze]

Is someone else in there when you try John? It can only be played by two or more.

Yes, but it wasn't even letting me on the table.

I think it might be my work puter, they block all kinds of shit now.

[mia/susannah]

I would love to learn how to play texas hold em. I play cards with my bf parents, regular poker, but if anyone could teach me how to play, I would appreciate ot very much:clap:

[Daghain]

This (http://www.basicholdem.info/) site will get you started. :)

[mia/susannah]

thanks for the site, will check it out.

[Matt]

I can get in there on this site sometime soon and show you how its done mia.

Its basically regular poker with 5 of the cards showing to everyone, and only two down to you.

[Brice]

If it's soon, let me know when and maybe I can play also. :D

[John Blaze]

is anyone up for a game right now?

[Brice]

[Míchéal]

yep

[Brice]

I'm in there now. :)

[Míchéal]

[obscurejude]

[Bethany]

[John Blaze]

yes he has, being that tonight you hustled me for 100 bucks.

[MonteGss]

I'm your huckleberry.

Hey Friends - Wish me luck, I'm headed to Atlantic City on Thursday morning to play in a Texas Hold'em tourney at Bally's.

[John Blaze]

good luck.

[John Blaze]

anyone up for a game? I'm waiting.

[Darkthoughts]

Anyone want a game this Saturday night? I'm staying in and I'd be up for a tourney.

[Matt]

I could get in for a few hours I think Lisa--count me in. When would be a good time to do it?

[Darkthoughts]

Any I think - I can stay up fairly late...I'm what, 5 hours ahead of you? Or less?

[Matt]

I could probably be in there around 10PM EST.

(that would be 8PM here)

[John Blaze]

anyone up for a game now?

[Bethany]

you know i'm always up to taking your money.

[John Blaze]

too bad I took yours. :P

[Daghain]

And I took yours. :lol:

[fernandito]

I'll take you up on that offer JB, although I'm not entirely sure how to play :unsure:

[turtlex]

If I'm around I'd love to join in. Hope to see you all there.

( only did okay at the tourney's in Atlantic City... just didn't have the cards )

[Daghain]

That's really frustrating, when the card gods don't smile on you.

Did you at least come home in the black?

[sarah]

anyone?

[Darkthoughts]

I'm there <3

[turtlex]

That's really frustrating, when the card gods don't smile on you.

Did you at least come home in the black?

Actually, I did pretty good. Won some back playing roulette. Not as fun as poker though.

[John Blaze]

anyone up for a hand or two?

I'm in there, waiting.

[Daghain]

Me too. Let's play!

[John Blaze]

sounds like someone wants a spanking!

[Daghain]

:lol:

[The Lady of Shadows]

:)

[Jean]

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear4bis.gif
the Big Power Failure seems to be over, but there's still danger of power shortage now and them, so I don't normally keep my computer on, only look in time to time to see if the bear is needed anywhere... soon hope everything will be back to regular, and we can play again!

[The Lady of Shadows]

the bear will always be needed . . . everywhere! :huglove:

[John Blaze]

anyone up for a game?

I'm in there.

[Jean]

are you still there?

[John Blaze]

it's 12:40, so I have to go run my next set of samples, I'll probably be in there around 1.

hope you have a chance to play, jean.

[John Blaze]

anybody here up for a game?

[Jon]

Hey...I am...Let me take care of some shit!

[Brice]

Sure...maybe a few hands at least. :)

[Jon]

And...that may have different meanings!

[alinda]

Good to see you guys this morning :D

[Jean]

anybody here up for a game?
WTF? You're alive, then? Why the fuck are you not posting?

[Daghain]

[Jon]

When and how will I know if there is room for me at the table?

[Matt]

Oops!

Sorry folks!

[John Blaze]

well people, I'm sorry but I'm gonna call it a night, I'm really not feeling well, and now it seems my kids are getting colds. :(

Sorry.

[John Blaze]

nevermind, i'm back

join me

[Matt]

Anyone up for some late night cards? I'll be here all night...all week. :lol:

[Brice]

Beginning Friday I'm on vacation and since I'm poor and won't be going anywhere I'll pretty much always be here when I'm conscious I believe.

[Matt]

Sounds great, maybe we can get a game in. I have some school work to do but I'm bascially available all night. :lol:

[Brice]

Yeah, I plan to be here for eight days straight if I can help it. :D I'm sure we can find time.

[turtlex]

Brice is taking a very trendy stay-cation.

[Brice]

:lol: Yes, but my boss can't call me. I don't ever answer the home phone unless I'm expecting the call and when my bosses asked for my cell # I told them that's for people I actually like.

[John Blaze]

:lol:

I'm off for a week straight starting wednesday night. We'll do this damn thing.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

If we play tonight or tomorrow night, I'll play.

[Matt]

I could probably get in a few hands after like...3am EST

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

So what is that 2am CST. If so, I am in.

[Matt]

Yep, that is correct, about 55 minutes from now.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Do we need a special login or what?

[Matt]

Nope, just click the Casino link and choose Texas Holdum. I put up marquee, we'll see if we can get a game going.

[Matt]

I'm not going to be able to play tonight, got too much school work to get done. :rock:

[Darkmaniscoming]

I'd like to play...next time let me know....:pirate:
But whats better 3 pair or 3 kings> :wtf:

[Matt]

I like the sound of that! Tomorrow night for sure you guys, let's get as many as possible. 2am EST!

[Brice]

I might be around for that. :)

[Matt]

Sounds great, I'm going to be able to sign in at that time for a while, let's get BUSY!!

[Darkmaniscoming]

so whats the deal with this???
how do i play???

[SigTauGimp]

I'll be there. :cool:

[Matt]

so whats the deal with this???
how do i play???

It's just for fake money and all you have to do is click the Casino link in the tool bar and then choose Texas Holdum'

I will be in there as soon as I get my rounds done. :clap:

[SigTauGimp]

Sorry guys, but my browser is acting super funky out of nowhere, so I'm not gonna be able to play...It keeps refreshing pages randomly, and I can't figure out how to stop it. Sorry... :(

[Brice]

That sucks, dude! :( I hope you figure out what's wrong.

[Matt]

No problem man, looks like it is going to be a short one tonight.

[Míchéal]

Anyone want a game?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

I'll play...when?

[Míchéal]

now?


i'm bored :(

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

ok

[Míchéal]

i'm in the room....


dum dum dum!!! :lol:

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

I dont see Texas Hold em in the arcade anymore?

[Míchéal]

Casino.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

I am in the room, but it wont start. Ive played before, so Im sure I have the required software.

[Míchéal]

yeah dunno whats wrong, nothings happening when i click ready, now i'm pissed off.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

I cant "start game". Matt and I played a game a few weeks ago, and it worked fine.:pullhair:

[Míchéal]

Feck...

[Matt]

Plug in's were turned off for tech issues recently you guys. We are anticipating a major upgrade to our forum software and these add on's are being re evaluated.

[XIXubiqueLX]

Nearly there just got one more post and I can play. Oh this is it great:excited:

[XIXubiqueLX]

OMG I cannot believe I didn't read all 10 pages to find out that after all that I still can't play LOL

[Brice]

I don't know, but I just looked and it appears to still be there from where I'm sitting. :unsure:

[Míchéal]

Try going in to the room. I just got in but quite possible it still wont work.

[Brice]

I've only got a couple minutes, but I'll drop in and we can try a quick hand.

[Míchéal]

nope, its still buggered :lol:

[Brice]

Yeah, you can chat in there, but the cards never turn over. :(

[Jon]

Any beer and pretzels?

[XIXubiqueLX]

I don't get to see many of you guys online so when I am on I will try and be in the Hold Em room waiting. So join me for a hand or three:thumbsup:

[Hannah]

I'm just going to merge this in with the general texas hold em thread. Post in that thread when you're in there so people will know to join you, X. :D
