Event Forum online poker night! Tuesday, 7pm!

[SlyPokerDog]

Thinking about setting up an online poker night for the forum.

I made a poll with some questions to see what you all would like.

For those of you that play online which sites do you play at?

I play at Ignition, there is no chat at the tables and I don't see a way to set up private freeplay tables.

One thought I had is if we found a new site and we all decided to play for low stakes real money I could set up a link that has a referral code that leads back to me. Any deposits made the site would give me a bonus and I could use the bonus money to set up a grand prize or see if I can buy some Blazer swag prizes. I would have no problem posting the accounting of my account so you guys would see I'm not trying to profit off of you.

That means if you start looking for sites to join, just read the reviews and don't join. Send the link to me, I'll join and then post the referral code for you all to join under.

If we only want to play for fake money, bragging rights, and forum glory then go ahead and join. But we should really wait to see what the group wants.

Thoughts? Ideas? Complaints?

 

[SlyPokerCat]

My complaint is with your species.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I’m in for no money.

 

[Strenuus]

I have always been confused about the legality of real money poker online.

I don't think we can in Oregon or Washington...

 

[PDXFonz]

I can’t do that

 

[KSF-ERIC]

CC- you in?

 

[Shaboid]

I can’t do that

Is this for the same type of reason that HCP can't come within 500 ft of a school?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I’m down..I’ve been playing on America’s cardroom and on bovada, but I think i still have an account on Ignition from when they took over Bovadas poker room for awhile. I’d rather play for real money

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

I would play but not sure what is supported in Washington state.

 

[BonesJones]

I'm the only one wanting to play for money?

Sorry sly I didnt know you were doing this tonight.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Nothing official, just having some fun.

I would love to play either way! Maybe we should try out some free ones first until we find one that everyone is comfortable with. If we do real money we could just venmo a "treasurer" an entry fee and have tournaments or something and then that treasurer pays off the people who place in the money.

 

[jlprk]

I want to play only if it's illegal.

aaahhhahahahhhjoooooooooooo!!!!


Come here little kiddies. Let me take your money!!!

Nickel Dime Quarter - deal me in

...I am waiting to hear back on the full setup, but I have some friends that have been using a poker site coupled with zoom to "host" local home game style tourneys. From the sounds of it, whoever is running tourney collects funds virtually for buy-ins and sets up the tourney thru the poker site (pretty sure it's a free game with no real money exchanged -- just the platform to run the private tourney on). Once everyone is signed in you can optionally connect with everyone on zoom and play and chat in real time as the action unfolds online. Looked pretty cool and perfect for quarantine time!

UPDATE: they setup the games thru https://pokerhost.co/ where you can customize your games and tourney settings -- connecting with live zoom chats makes for an entertaining night @SlyPokerDog

Never Play poker with a guy who's first name is "Sly" middle name is "Poker" and last name is "Dog".

He will lull you into a false sense of security with those puppy dog eyes and rob you blind.

I wondered how he came up with that handle?

 

[Mediocre Man]

I though poke her nights were reserved for game nights when the HCP isn't home?

[KSF-ERIC]

[Chris Craig]

When are we doing this?

[SlyPokerDog]
