anyone here play poker?

I was thinking about setting up a hold'em game on my web server. No computer players, just real people conected via the web.

It would give us something else to do while were sitting in front of the computers on Fri/Sat drinking homebrew and talking to each other.

Anyone interested? If so, I'll try to have everything up and running before the weekend.

Great idea Walker, I'd love to Old Bean but the time differences rule me out i'm sure.

well.. if I get the server set-up, anyone could connect to it at anytime. You UK folks could play together...

heck, on slow days at the office, I could even connect from here at work.

I'm in. As long as no real money is involved. Free games rule my budget.

no real money would be involved. That would be chaos to manage.

Also in. Sounds like good fun.

Sounds like fun!

Sounds like a Nevada denizen talking.

That's one nice thing about Nevada... always a poker game going on

HA, Kephren I love your sig. That's awesome.

I'm having trouble finding a free software package to allow me to do this, which sucks. I'm still looking for something I can use. If you know of anything that comes with a linux server and clients for windows, please let me know.

Something written in Java for the client would be ideal, as you could use it on any machine (Mac, Linux, Windows.)

If all else fails, I can write my own software, but I'd rather not do that unless I absolutely have to.

Poker? I don't even know her!

But on the serious side, omaha and stud are much more fun to play.

i don't personally like Omaha. It's a game with a lot of sucking out since you can draw to so many different hands. Seems more a game of chance than skill to me, but I know a lot of people disagree with that, and that's fine.

As for stud... that one just never appealed to me. I don't know why.

it might just be easiest to all jump onto an existing on-line poker site, find an empty play-money table, and just go at there.

I play on pokerstars.net, but have no problem registering an account on another site if someone has a zealous preference for a different site.

what say ye?

Yah right. I'd be divorced. I spend enough money on my Jeep and brewing!

I love poker. I used to have a weekly game with my neighbors but they moved to Ohio. Played once since and lost 40 bucks after I drank a drink called a "mind-eraser".

this is for fun, Orrelse. No real money involved.
