The Poker Thread

[hank solo]

When/how do we play?

What about a Buknet Poker tourney?

Okay. An experiment.

I'm going to start a game of Texas Hold 'em with a real physical deck of cards. I'll deal, and PM the players what their hole cards are. Then the board cards will be published in a game thread and we'll go from there. Who wants to play a hand?

 

[Father Luke]

Okay. But just for fun.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Okay, but for blood. I open with a half pint and a blood, alcohol content of .09 and positive for marijuana.

 

[Father Luke]

I fold.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

I'll keep that in mind for future reference.
"Those aren't wrinkles, those are creases from folding so much." unknown

 

[hank solo]

Well that's 2 seats taken. Not sure if we'll get anymore. Was hoping for 6 to 10 players.

Hmmm. Maybe you guys can just play heads up.

I'll shuffle up and deal tomorrow, so anyone else want a seat?

 

[hoochmonkey9]

I'm in.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Count me in on a Buk.net poker tourney. You know what they say: Liquor up front, poker in the rear. In Vegas, I'd rather play video poker than sleep.

Suggestions

Okay.
Texas Hold'em
Let's all start out with 1500 chips.
Each hand has a big blind, small blind dealer, etc.
Last one in is the Big Blind First
Second to last one in is the Small Blind
And it goes on like that.

I was first to register, so I am Big Blind last.
Tournament starts when we have nine players.
Last one with chips is the winner that round.


Fair?

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Fair yes, but a website link would be helpful. :cool:

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Mr solo mentioned PMs all around.

*Hey, can moderators read our PMs? That would be pure rotten. We love you guys.;);)

 

[hank solo]

Mods can't read PMs. I'm dealing, not playing and I'll deal round the table to select who's on the button, first A or highest card. Players have been given seats in the order they've joined the table. I have 4 seats filled so far, game starts in about 12 hours (give or take).

This is an experiment. I expect the first hand to take about 2 weeks to play out ... :D

 

[Ponder]

I'm in.

Me too.

 

[Father Luke]

Happy Monday . . .

It's the middle of the night for Ponder.

I'm up next. I'm going to get a cold one.
Be right back. . .

 

[hank solo]

Oh go ahead and put your hat back on Father Luke, I hear that hotel gets draughty.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

I'm in and for the bump.

How do we wake ponder?

 

[Father Luke]

Don't bet out of order.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Well I didn't want to hold things up in case ponder should wake up at my 3 a.m. Some of us have to show up at work in the wee hours.

I really find the bald Bukowski to be quite disturbing. He looks like a Iranian terrorist. Please get some hair on him.


That little picture is diplayed in over 2172 posts and everyones friends list.-Mr. popularity..the corgi is snoring.ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Father Luke]

I'll put my hat on when Ponder gets here. :p

 

[Ponder]

Ok, I'm awake.

Fold.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Put your hat on I'm in and going to bed, good night.

Thank you Father Luke.

 

[Father Luke]

[Gerard K H Love]

It might take a couple of weeks. But I'm having fun Thank you FL

 

[Father Luke]

Thanks hank solo for setting this up.
