Since ownership of the service has technically changed hands, and other changes are in the works, I've created this new thread for the EVE ONLINE HOLD'EM service. Previous information about this service can be found in the previous thread:
http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=596829
************************************************************
You play poker? Texas Hold'Em? Join channel "Eve Online Hold'Em"
We have games running virtually non-stop; up to 3-4 full tables of nine on the weekend!
Game buyins and (rakes) are standardized as follows: (in millions of ISK)
6(1), 11(1), 17(2), 28(3), 54(4), 105(5), 265(15), 525(25), etc.
Games are available for any stakes you like; we host high-stakes (500m - multibillion ISK buyin) games as well.
Payout is as follows:
1-5 players: Winner Take All.
6 players: 2nd place gets 50% of buyin-rake.

I'm sad to say that we've had our first banker incident in our almost half a year history.
One of our bankers, known as both xG3NOCiDEx and Dragon Rose, lost a couple of games and owed 3b in debt to a couple of players that he lost to. Instead of paying, he decided to default. The actual bets given to Geno were refunded by myself, since that was theft and it happened in my establishment. I take no responsibility for his gambling debt, only the losses incurred by others. So while I wish that the folks who won the games against him could claim a few bil in winnings, they are going to have to hunt Geno down and extract that for themselves ;)
If anyone has a claim that I haven't already dealt with, please talk to me in game, however I checked the logs and all affected parties should have had their issue resolved or have an evemail waiting to talk to me.
I will be looking at finding a way to secure our higher stakes games to prevent such a situation like this from happening in the future, however with EVE it always comes down to some matter of trust. Ideas are always welcome, however.

I disapprove of this completely the first time i went to play I was scammed for a rather large sum of money. The management in turn pretty much told me to go **** myself. Unless you want to risk risking your money on these scamming individuals i would look elsewhere there are many other places in eve to play poker.
After being approached by Sierra about this, I checked all of the poker table logs as well as the chat channel logs. Sierra's name appeared on neither, anywhere. Sierra was also unable to provide chat logs or other evidence of this taking place, so without evidence of this transaction or game ever happening I can't start handing out money, or everyone who reads this thread could bring an alt to me and ask for "stolen iskies" back.
All games involving Geno from that evening have already been investigated, if any other claims are made there's going to need to be more proof than "I say it happened to me" otherwise there is no way to sort the scammers out from legitimate people (on the chance there are any not fixed up already).

i missed the whole Geno episode, but imo it could be solved by never letting bankers bank their own games.
Doing this above certain thresholds of ISK is going to happen very soon.
Originally by: Funkert
- slower structures. Id rather see some more play for my ISK. The slower a structure, the more skill counts towards winning (instead of luck). There's other channels that have a 3000 starting stack, 10/20 blinds increasing every 8 mins. Or you could just stick to 5000 chips and start with 25/50 blinds... that way we'll start with 100 BB's, which is pretty standard.
This is an interesting suggestion, mostly because there are a lot of people who think our tables are either too fast, or too slow (I hear this more often). Given that people enjoy a variety of game speeds, it's very difficult to satisfy all customers without having fifty active players at all times so that there are always enough people with a particular taste to provide a decent game with a particular blind structure. If you or others have specific ideas on how to offer these kinds of varieties without a lot of confusion or lack of population, please let me know. I'm simply not sure how to provide this kind of custom service right now.
Originally by: Funkert
- less rake. why not just stick to the standard 10% rake? you're the only channel that ever exceeds 10% (20% in low stakes even :Oo).
Our rakes are historical in that they haven't changed since the days of Axe Hold'Em. As for the %s, the only games above 10% are the two lowest, with the % quickly dropping to the standard 5% for 100m and above. Everyone wants to save money, of course, but this has been a rare request so I have no real reason to change our structure at this point. =)
I've also been working with the Low Stakes channel to iron out the way everything works there, given that it is a young venture with its own unique challenges. As of today the rake there is 10% across the board for any type of game, replacing the previous, excessive number.
Edit: Oh, and thanks for the feedback, I like to this kind of stuff. Keep it up!

I missed setting up a proper tournament this week, since we've had some good discussion and should be able to get a nice one going. Looks like next Friday we will resume our weekly big buyin table with additional payouts. I'll announce something over he weekend, time pending =)

That would be from our low stakes affiliate room, not Eve Online Hold'Em itself. Customers need to be patient as every game is a coordination issue between all people who are paying to play as well as the banker, which takes time. Your own chatlog shows that you responded poorly and/or overreacted to the banker asking you to be patient, although he should not have stooped to hurling insults back, so I'll make sure he is reminded of proper behavior.
As far as blue/red politics, this is poker, people from all alliances have and do play here. Politics has nothing to do with it. Please keep any comments, friendly or critical, constructive and refrain from anything troll-related.

Just a question what is there to stop 2 or 3 players going on a teamspeak server and fixing a table so that they can split the first prize? On the 100mil plus buy ins where the grand prize has the potential to be close to a bil u could find tables being fixed. What controls do u have in place to sa***uard my money against such things?
Pretty much we do the only thing anyone can do, which is to follow basic logic. Are people playing strangely regularly? Are there any other signs? And then you look into it. In half a year of doing this, we haven't had any real instances of cheating either via multiclienting or by this method -- at least none that are effective. In the former case it's easy to detect, in the latter if anyone has ever tried they still lose plenty often anyway. The only people whom win consistently and regularly enough to make a lot of money are the individuals whom display semi-professional levels of poker and are known addicts to the game, both here and in real-life. =)

Thanks Milde. It's pretty silly to be honest, considering CCP is against name-scamming, and will ban the accounts as well as take and refund the ISK in most cases. Even for scamming this is pretty dumb. Ahh well, sorry folks, just be careful and don't let this get in the way of some good poker =)

Hmm yes I think as a player of less than a month 1 mill or so a session would be my limit.
Looking forward to it
Yep, that's the idea of low stakes. It lets people try it out or play even if they're pretty new or currently poor. Be sure to let us know what you think about the services.

Heya folks. I have an announcement for everyone.
As most of you know as it is recorded on the first page of this thread, a while back we had a banker named Genocide run off with a large unpaid debt and some ISK. Well, he came back on another character, which became obvious one night when he was trying to get people to tell stories about the hugh games he used to play on Geno. So after a convo and calling him on it, we talked for a bit. Geno as Yoke continued to play increasingly higher stakes and went back to his old style of playing. And well, this happened today:
Originally by: Yokeboke
well didnt think this would ever happen but it did.. i went to play a heads up for proly about 3.7b and i won it and was never paid. if you play there i wouldnt suggest playing for any substantial amounts with any of the bankers i got wallet logs to prove it.
Yokeboke has been banned from the channels, and we have successfully performed our very first counter-scam, against the only major scam our channel has ever had (thankfully). Nicely, 1.2b of the 3.7 was a BPO bought from one of the very bankers who was scammed by Geno in the past, so he shall be receiving this as a present for that time and for being a damn fine banker =) The use of the rest is to be determined, though it does provide a nice buffer against future scams, I will look at using it as bonuses for bankers, prizes for tournament games, or some other good use.
As for everyone else, thanks for playing with us, and let's hope this is the end of this entire unfortunate incident.
Edit: Oh and for the record Geno, you guys kept playing the game even after I jumped in and told you what we were doing, and you still lost. I don't want anyone's play history tarnished <3

Usually i find Eve Poker but was disapointed to find that after paying for game and then with a very troublesome table Lagging out etc.. I only got to play first hand while already down almost half my chips then after more hastle only saw 8 of the 37 hands i was in for.. and not so much as an apology.. but they took my money ok.
Unfortunately technical issues are a real problem, but we try to make the most of it. Individual connection issues aren't something we have control over, and we can only offer refunds when it happens at the beginning or early on in a game, otherwise there is a situation where someone gets cheated, and you open the door for shady behavior. Sorry for the trouble, hopefully it doesn't happen again.
Of course, when the entire table is freezing and there are issues, everyone suffers. If a table dies or becomes unplayable, the pot is split among those left and/or the players may make other arrangements. It's all in our IGB page linked in the MOTD. Everyone should read up on the info there and ask questions where they are unclear.

Again, not saying this eve poker is a scam, but i will nto sue the site anymore as the way the hands fell just did not feel right..
A lot of new players have told us they think Mavens deals insane hands more than they are used to. I wish I had an answer for this perception, but in my experience with online poker sites, and real-life play, there's no actual difference -- going through a lot of hands online with big tables you are going to see lots of crazy hands. Cards are purely random, and when you have thousands of 0.01% possibilities, you hit a "rare" deal very often.
Some people blame the RNG. Pseudo-random number generation is pseudo-random, so I don't see how the software could be "wonky" =D As for security, we do list security features in our IGB page, and you can also peruse the online documentation for Mavens, where it details every aspect of the client and server modules. No secrets here.

The first post has been updated to be better organized. Also I have added in information about a new mailing list called EOH ANNOUNCE which I will start using to announce our tournament games and important changes to our service.
I expect us to start up weekly high roller tournaments again. Not quite as epic as the Series game, but a nice, reliable, sign-up high roller table of 9. Stay tuned for details!

Really love the service you are running here.
On that note, having worked in the online gambling industry for 5 years now, I would love to see you guys move to a more traditional payout structure for full tables.
Typical online STT payout structure for 9 players is 50%/30%/20%.
For an 18 man tourney you'd have 40%/30%/20%/10%
By flattening out the payout structure for full tables, you are spreading out the rewards to more then just the "TOP" players, and thus adding more funds to the poker community. This in turn will reward you as a host by having more people able to continue buying into the next running table.
Thanks Covenn. Actually we had a similar structure back in the day (Nov 07 and earlier I think), and we've been arguing over switching to a format close to the one you mentioned for MONTHS. It'd really be better for everyone. Our current decision (me + consulting my staff) would be that, since we're putting a lot of effort into getting a replacement for Mavens, we should wait and try to switch both client and payout structure at the same time.
If we don't make any progress towards new software in the next few weeks, we'll probably switch payouts anyway. But yeah, I agree with you, we really do need to switch to a more distributed pay-out format.

Testing of the Mavens 2.0 client has begun, and I expect a full deployment by the end of the weekend uf not sooner. Especially given yesterday's incident, we're taking special care to make sure all logging is in place, the new account system has an adequate level of security, and that we have backup systems for accounts and the server itself in case of a power failure. This is especially important since Ring game account information needs to be as up to date as possible, since chips = ISK and it's changing in real-time.
The system with tournament tables will stay the same as it is now -- bankers will still run them and have a start code to begin them. We are also working on an interface for our staff to get table results and deal with other goodies so that we have more thorough administration abilities 23/7, as well as enough logging accuracy to track down any previous problem/scam that has happened in the past. We're also evaluating how best to securely handle the money for the Ring games, since deposits could amount of to a sizable chunk.
EOH has come a long ways from the day where running 5 games in an evening was a feat, and a 105m game was a weekly event in scarcity. There used to be no banker coordination, lots of coverage gaps existed, and no rules existed for when technical difficulties or other issues occur. Sadly, we always find more situations to deal with. As usual we're taking this opportunity to improve the service even more, and I hope that it is obvious at how much work gets put into making this a secure, fun, and reasonable service for those involved, despite hiccups along that path.
I am really looking forward to this next step in the coming days.

Mavens 2.0 has been deployed. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.
Please read ALL MOTD information and both IGB pages, because a lot has changed. A quick summary of SOME of the changes would be:
- EOH GAMES is a secure channel where only bankers can talk. Games for both EOH and LSH will be spammed here, thus preventing impersonator bankers from ever bothering us again.
- the new client is web-based, and has passwords on your accounts for security
- there is no email validation for those of you paranoid about personal information
- payouts have changed to be flatter, with up to 10 people per table we now pay 50%/30%/20% on full tables.
- updates to the banker list
Also, Ring Games will be deployed this weekend once we have the details for secure ISK storage and convenient deposit.withdrawl worked out. Please ask if you get stuck anywhere, and let us know what you think about the new setup. Thanks folks.

So the gilca fraud is still possible? But I take it that now the owners will have the evidence to not f**k ppl over?
It's not possible now, no, due to everyone having passworded accounts as well as thorough logging to file, which is also backed up regularly on a remote site. The issue with Mavens 1.0 was that the relevant information was there, but only for the duration that someone was logged into the client. It had no logging to file options, and we really never had few scenarios where it would have been helpful. Unfortunately this last situation was just days before the current, better setup was brought into play.

I just wanted to apologize for the delay on Ring games. We've been very busy (I've been going insane the last few days trying to keep everything going smoothly with all of the changes), but we're still making tweaks and adjustments to the Banker/Admin interface to Mavens to log what Ring game data isn't logged by Mavens itself, and to provide useful tools to the Banking staff.
The creator of Poker Mavens has also been a great help to us, as I have been talking to him daily to work on ideas for new features, bug fixes, and useful tools. He's a great guy and I'm really glad we've gone with his software.
Anyway, expect an update soon(tm) on Ring games. And as for after that ... who knows =)

Okay, so I lied. Twizzle went ahead and did a soft-launch today (meaning no documentation or bankers set up yet, just to get some people started). Well, it's been about 4-5 hours and I finally have up some information on our pages about how Ring Games work, and in this small window we already have close to 6 Billion ISK deposited for ring-game use, with a nearly-full table running alongside our normal EOH and LSH Tournament games.
For those of you that don't know, Ring Games are tables where you can join and leave on a per-hand basis, and where the chips are equivalent to ISK, so you win and lose money every hand. We have been devising a nice system for the bankers and myself to track deposits outside of what Mavens does (extra logging can't hurt, also secure interfaces are sexy -- thanks Twizzle), and I am in the process of getting our current bankers set up to handle ring game money. Since there is no rake-per-hand feature in Mavens 2.0 (yet), we are going to run Ring Game deposits and withdrawals similar to our Tournaments, in that there is a 5% rake on both deposits and withdrawlas, allowing us to distribute fees to both winners and losers, and to keep a similar payout structure for the banking staff.
So, exciting times. With that said, see you all on the tables =)

I know it'll sound like sour grapes, but the number of bad beats put on by BANKERS on other players is quite disturbing. There would be constant all-ins, similar to what was described above, where the clearly dominated hand would pull out something on the turn/river. It seems to happen far more often than chance would allow.
This is a common complaint against bankers, high rollers, corp mates who play the service, etc. Poker is poker, there are enough low-odd card combinations that insanity becomes somewhat normal. Online poker games also go much faster than in real life. It's a common reaction to many people who play on any online poker site. I've seen it here, elsewhere on EVE, on the popular internet sites, everywhere. It's just human perspective trying to understand the flow of a game that is happening in a different environment than they are probably used to.

And on another note, I would like to thank everyone for the busiest week we have ever had here at EOH, which has now been under my ownership for six months. The Ring game launch appears to be quite popular for certain players, with at least one table nearly full or full around the clock. We've been maintaining around 20 Billion ISK in Ring Game deposits so far, which is better than I expected for our first few days of launch. I also want to say that I only cite numbers because they indicate how busy we are and being busy means a lot of people are playing and enjoying the service, which is what I want.
We've also continued to work with the man who wrote our software, who is also excited to use us as a stress test when we have upwards of 50 connections to the server during the early evening. I do want to apologize for some connection issues we have had, as we are testing a beta version of the client whose goal is to track down the memory issues that are the cause of both lag and the freeze-ups that we experienced around 20-24 hours of uptime during the first few days of operation.
Thanks again everyone for your continued support. Please remember to leave feedback or ideas in this thread, to me via evemail, or to any of the bankers.

Just a quick note on recent technical issues, we are continuing to work with the owner of Mavens to fix the lag and disconnect issues. Unfortuately this testing phase simply shifts the problem around. Before there were random disconnects, and today there were a couple of crashes. Please let me know if there was a game or anything not handled appropriately, and I will look into getting everything fixed up.
On a positive note, it sounds like there will be a permanent fix to the issue of bad player connections causing lag and/or freezing in the server within the next few days. Please bear with us as we continue to work towards an even more stable and sexy setup =)

It looks like us working with the creator of Mavens is paying off. He's figured out the cause of the connection issues, and the current beta that we're using and the next public release should get rid of all the weird disconnection and lag/freezing problems. We'll still be watching for server-wide issues of course, and let us know if there are any new issues. Thanks folks =)

Hey folks. We've been chatting about doing another Big Tourney (tm) sometime soon, possibly with a theme. What would you all think about an Alliance-based poker tournament, where any alliance can have 1 or 2 seats in it? Also any ideas what to do special for prizes as well, to make it more worthwhile? (no Regions aren't worth being used as prizes =P)
Please let us know, I'll probably make a new thread and announce details at the end of the week.

This is a public service announcement from EOH:
Poker involves smacktalk, please get used to this. There is a block feature in Mavens 2.0 for a reason. However, racism, real-life threats, and overly hostile smacktalk (continuous personal insults, etc) are not fun and will not be tolerated. Recently there has been a string of players who feel entitled to say whatever they wish. While using my service I will not allow people who cause public disturbances and upset numbers of other players to do as they please. EOH is a community and players will be respectful both the staff and the other players, within reason.
So let's play nice folks, I don't want to have to break out the ban/tempban stick every day.

Heya folks, I have some updates to add here since I have been very busy lately.
The slow time of the summer seems to have hit, and I know it's been harder to get non-Ring games lately. Please let me know what times are particularly bad for coverage, though only if there is a real player demand and no banking staff. Some hours there really are only 1-2 people who want non-Ring games to be run outside of low stakes (which I am already dealing with banking issues with), so there's only so much we can do there.
The other updates aren't exactly good news, but I do want to keep everyone informed of what goes on behind the scenes here when problems occur. Last week we had some banker errors and misplaced money from the Ring game accounts, and since then we have performed an extra audit of the accounts to ensure that all of the players' money is accounted for. Mistakes were tracked down and the responsible bankers have been hunting down players to fix the errors, or paying out of pocket for the mistakes. In a few cases I also covered some errors out of pocket, where the previously mentioned solutions weren't enough. A few other errors have been caught and corrected by hand by myself, as a few of you know. We're currently working on improving our automated auditing tools to hopefully reduce these issues, but I wanted to let everyone know that there is no loss of ISK in the accounts due to error that I haven't already corrected, recovered, or covered.
The other issue was a theft issue by one of our now ex-banking staff Era Vulgaris, who grabbed a 5b vs 5b heads-up match, and took that along with the 2b that I allow senior staff to access from Ring games (the rest is safely locked up). The Ring game ISK was repaid out of pocket by myself, and partial refunds for the 1v1 players also came from me.
I'd like to remind everyone to read our Terms in our IGB pages, and to provide suggestions for making that information more accessible and easier to read (many of you tell me you don't read it due to laziness, but don't say I didn't warn you). I'd also like to remind everyone that EOH isn't perfect (never assume anything in EVE is perfect, or RL for that matter), as I do not directly control any of my staff members' brains, and so these kind of incidents can happen despite my caution. The best thing for players to do is to read our Terms and Rules, know how things work, ask me questions if you have any, and don't take unnecessary risks.
I think this covers all of the recent news. Do feel free to convo me in-game or to leave evemails if you have questions, or to leave comments, questions and feedback in this forum thread.

Thanks for the kind words Cetus but these things do unfortunately happen. We'll keep moving ahead and improving our tools on the backend to be more secure and easy to use, and to improve the services and what we can offer to the players. Feedback on the part of the players if, of course, essential to this process. So please speak up even if someone has already made the same comment, I really do like feedback (although 7 convo's at once can be a bit much =D).

Yawn, bump.
Also, our technical back-end issues with keeping track of cashouts is close to having an automated solution. Think a less pretty version of EBANK's automated deposit and withdrawal request form/queue for EOH. We're not going to fully replace normal bankers of course, as people keep things moving a lot faster and are better to deal with, but this should tackle some concerns on the back-end with regards to error, and concerns to you, the players, with regards to quiet or slow periods where a staff member isn't available =)
Full details will be posted here once we take the new system live. I figured a little heads up wouldn't hurt.

The banking staff has the normal cashout ability back now as we iron out the nicer system for you guys. Also, I'll be out of toen for the next five days, and may not be able to check in. I will however respond to all evemails upon my return next Tuesday. Until then I am sure the staff can take care of everything you guys need.
Now don't anyone lose too much this weekend =)

Back from my trip, so if there have been any issues or questions that haven't been brought to my attention just get ahold of me via evemail or convo, I should be on for a while tonight to catch up on things.
In my absence Twizzle deployed the first step in our new semi-automated banking system, the withdrawal queue. Both to protect your money from being stolen (large amounts of money in a wallet can tempt otherwise reliable people) and to allow players who want to cashout at quiet times or times when no bankers are around, we now have cashouts requested via an external webpage (very similar to what EBANK does) which ties directly to the Mavens server. This way a limited number of staff have access to reasonable piles of ISK that can be used to cash out Ring winners, with the requests being processed within 24 hours.
We should also be getting an auto-deposit system in shortly, which will allow deposits during the down times if no staff are around. The EVE API takes up to an hour to register though, so live bankers are still preferable over this system -- I really do NOT want to go full automated as it provides crappier service to our clientFle.
Otherwise, work is going on in the background to both provide feedback to make the client more stable and useful in future patches, and to make our own bookkeeping more reliable. I'll also hopefully announce some EOH forum sig graphics that you guys can use (if you would be so kind) once I work with some of the winners from our Logo contest in the next week or two. But I'll announce that when that's ready. Aaaaaand this turned into a full update of our status. Whoops. See you folks at the tables =)

EOH is the oldest, largest, and most reliable poker service ever offered in EVE. Out logging, backups, ISK security, and staff exceed what anyone else has ever done, and is only improving. When I speak of working on new admin tools or code or security features, that is to improve a system that already works very well. And of course anyone with concerns should contact me to see how legitimate their concerns are given our system, so they can knowledgeably decide whether they feel comfortable playing or not.
Also. this thread is for comments and constructive criticism only, trolling of competition or attempts to advertise in others' threads is not allowed on this forum.

The OP has been updated with new information. Quite a few changes this week.
We have officially closed down Low Stakes Hold'Em and merged them into the main EOH channel. Originally LSH was created to both test out new bankers, and to prevent the spam from a wide range of games from being too cluttered. Now, the Ring system has reduced the need to treat the rooms separately, as well as the EOH GAMES secure announce channel placing the game spam in its own location. At this point we also have a nice number of staff (although the old ones are lazy =D). As for new staff, we have learned enough in the past months to make risk from new hires less of an issue. All in all, I hope this change brings the EOH players closer together, and makes it easier for people to keep track of the service since there are now less channels for both bankers and players.
Also, our auto-deposit feature for Ring chips is now deployed, with information in our IGB Info page. The cashout request feature has been deployed for a while, but I have yet to train all of our senior staff on how to use it, so there should be a nice speedup in response to cashouts in the near future.
As usual, please let us know what we are doing right, and wrong, and ways to improve. And thanks again for playing with EOH folks =D

We had a little downtime tonight due to a bug in the latest Mavens beta, so I guess we'll be keeping the bughunting busy =P
In other news, the new Beta patch to Mavens now allows "Rathole Minutes", which is the amount of time after leaving a table that you can come back with less chips than you left with. We have set all of our tables to 30 minutes, as this has been a concern of several players in the past. |

Figured it out.
I still prefer the non-browser client to the browser one, but maybe that's just because I was more used to it.
One thing I do miss, though, are the low-stakes games. I'm not as rich as other players, so I can't afford to drop 20m every time I want to play a little poker.
While 17m is the lowest commonly announced game, we do have both low-stakes Ring tables which you can buy into for as little as 2m (2-20m buyin range), and the new automated low-stakes tourneys and 1v1 tables for 2m, 5m, and 10m amounts, all using Ring chips. The auto-tables are pretty new and need to be advertised more to see high use. If it's something that interests you then try and round up people to play on them or give us ideas on how to make their existence more well known. =)

Thanks guys! For high-stake 1v1s I may yet automate them, but primarily there are two reasons I have abstained: 1) bankers need something to do or they have no reason to be employed and 2) such things encourage money staying in the system, which is bad for business. What we really need are rakes/game, but the Mavens guy isn't very fond of providing us with that option. Find me a solution for this issue and I'll probably jump at it. This leads into:
Originally by: Joe Space
Overall, I've found the service great. There are some very good players and the games are fair. The only complaint I have is with regards to the ring game rake. 10% is high.
This is somewhat related to the above. I provide a service based on trust (which is not an easy thing to find in EVE), as well as having to pay employees, hosting, coding, and hedging against mistakes by bankers, players stealing due to technical errors in Mavens, and stealing from (ex-)employees -- so I find the current rates to be quite fair. No one has yet been able to take away a noticeable amount of business, despite plenty of cheap alternatives popping up and disappearing in these forums all of the time. There is a lot to be said for providing a stable service that has only grown and improved as time progresses. By no means do I have a problem with other services (unless they happen to harass us or our customers), and I would find it quite interesting if someone could find a way to provide a service that provided things we do not or cannot, but are similar (I have no real interest in blackjack, but many people express interest, and such a service would probably grow the EVE betting community by a bunch, if run properly and by the right people).
Of course, this doesn't mean the status quo lasts forever. We have completely changes rakes, payouts, and hell even the software during our long history. I say that to make sure you know I still appreciate the comment, I'd never know if such things bother a lot of customers unless people speak up. Just remember that you are paying for something that is fairly rare in EVE. =)

One feature I would like to see, is perhaps a functionality of the banker ran tournies being able to use chips instead of in game ISK, they may help ressurect the tourney front for others also.
I just saw this today and wanted to respond. Similar to the above, I've not incorporated this primarily because I have already had a heavy drop in staff activity when we switched to Ring as their time working wasn't worth as much. Also, an important part of the service to me IS the human element -- bankers announcing games. If all bankers were nothing more than Ring depositors, I might as well just leave the entire service on auto and fire everyone, no? And that's really not the path I want to go down. Ideas to work around this are more than welcome, of course.
Originally by: Nackturion
EDIT: Btw, forgot to mention I love the new Rathole prevention feature
I haven't heard from anyone else about this feature, I assume this has been an improvement to everyone's Ring experiences?

Originally by: Nackturion
I understand about Bankers needing a job. Would it at least be plausible to ask Twizzle if a feature could be coded in that would allow a banker to use chips instead of needing ISK to run a tourney? At least for things such as people wanting high stakes HU?
That way Bankers would still have a job and those of us not on a cash out could still do tourneys.
We might be able to do that, but it doesn't help the underlying problem. It would be unfair to tax ring chips again if used in DTs, but the income from those DTs is the primary income of most bankers (pardoning the couple that do most of the deposits and cashouts). And giving all bankers access to everything is a huge security risk, even with our precautions. We've already taken a couple of decent hits this summer (which I have covered). So it's about balancing ease-of-use and fair charges to players, while keeping income incentives to bankers high enough so that it's worth their time, and then balancing all of that against risk of theft. Sadly I do not have a solution that makes me perfectly happy yet.
Edit: If people think being charged again on Ring chips used in tourneys is fair, that is fine, but I certainly wouldn't find that very appealing.

So if I am to understand this correctly you would like a 5-10 bil buyin poker table? Would anyone else actually be interested in such high stakes? It's really simple to add it to the system, but I'm not a fan of adding in tables that don't get used and clutter the interface.

Bump, etc. There is a technical issue with making a table at those stakes given that our chips are only worth 100k each, Grozen, but I'm trying to find a workaround or possibly talk to the Mavens guy about changing that limit =)

There are two types of games, announced games and Ring games. The announced ones are as you said: bankers announce them in the EOH GAMES secure channel, you send them the announced amount and log in and register for the game. Ring games are where you ask for a ring banker in the main 'Eve Online Hold'Em' channel, send them ISK, and they add chips to your account. With those chips you can play at the sit-and-go ring tables with other ring players. Hopefully this clears some things up! Also don't forget to browse through the two IGB webpages we link in the main channel MOTD, they contain all of our rules, useful information, names of our banking staff, etc. =)

It's a limitation of the software. A bil is the most that can be bought in with on a table, due to the value of each chip. We'd have to change the entire current system to accommodate a ring game higher than that on buyins. I'm still looking into a work-around.

How do you deposit isk the the account?
For the Ring games you either deposit via ring game banker in the main channel (names are in our IGB page), once you get one's attention. Otherwise, auto-deposit can be done by using a web-form and sending ISK and the generated ID to the specified character.

I'm expecting to announce a large multi-table tournament game to celebrate one-year of EOH under my ownership. The tournament would probably be something like a 54m entrance fee (or 50m in chips from a ring account), with 3 winners. Winnings would be based on how many people buy in, with a minimum of something like 1000/500/200 million ISK. Details are, of course, pending.
What I need is feedback as to a good time/date for the tournament to be held if an official announcement goes up this weekend. I'm guessing a friday/saturday evening (early US, late euro) later in the month is best. Thoughts?

News update.
EOH has been particularly busy these past two weeks, which certainly does my heart good after our Ring issues, so thanks to everyone who has been by to check us out as well as our regular clientele. Speaking of Ring, progress on our new user site and backend is progressing quite well. We're looking at a new user site (and a shorter domain name, instead of eveonlineholdemdeargodmyfingersarenumb.com) and a simpler way to use your Ring account.
In addition, I'll hopefully have all of our newbie guides written and updated for the newness, so both new and old players can easily locate information about our services.
We also had our first table rental since an initial attempt at rentals last summer. Pricing is still up in the air, despite what the current prices listed on our T&C page say. So if anyone out there would like to rent a table for an evening for their corp or alliance, do contact me so that we can see what kind of pricing works for all involved.
Thanks again to everyone for your continued support, and I will hopefully have another news update by the end of next weekend. |

Unfortunately Twizzle and I did not have the time today to get everything going again, so if Rings isn't back tomorrow, it will certainly be back within the next week. It's really just a matter of us having a couple hours to sit down and hash out final changes to the new system.

Well, lots of big news here today!
First of all, we've moved to a new channel that will hopefully be much easier to spell for newcomers: EOH Poker. We've also launched our new user site at http://user.eohpoker.com where you can create your new EOH accounts. Our IGB documentation is vastly expanded and improved, and Ring has been relaunched! We also now do not rake on deposit and cashout, but rake per hand.
So come on in and see a lot of new with the same Eve Online Hold'Em you've known for over a year =D

Also good to see our Tournament-style games are still going along well, so we still have games for everyone. Stop on by and check us out!

PS: just one remark for the EOH POKER TEAM i think it wouldt be a great idea on the newbie Tabel to show each player what they have on the hand so they can make a better decission. This Tabel is calld Newbie Players so threat them as Newbies and give there a littel bit more knowledge to them.
I'm afraid this isn't possible, as not even us the admins can see nor change cards that couldn't normally be seen -- it's simply not possible given the way the software is written. So while we can't help newbies in this way, it also means that other players (or staff, or owners) can't cheat by seeing or changing cards. Documentation for the Mavens software is available at: http://www.briggsoft.com/docs/pmavens/PMHelp.htm

But i am sure when someone realy wanne play poker there he will read the rules and the sorts of different combination.
Ahh I see what you mean. Yeah there's no way for us to do that. You could always ask the creator of Mavens to implement such an option that we could toggle on and off, but yeah, I don't think three's much demand for it. Thanks for the idea though =)

So if you have questions or need me to look into or fix something, it'll probably have to wait until this weekend.

Originally by: Tobin Shalim
Before I put any ISK into this, what are the chances that someone could be hacking/manipulating what the server does in terms of handing out cards? I know that there was a Eve poker thing being ran before that had accusations of just that happening.
Mavens is a publicly available program, with documentation available here: http://www.briggsoft.com/docs/pmavens/PMHelp.htm
Even as the one administering the server, I am unable to see or affect cards in any way, as detailed in the software's documentation. Also we can't change and recompile the program as the source code is not available to us, but only to the creator. So there's really no way to affect the integrity of the cards themselves (thankfully).
I know a few previous attempts at competition have used other software, though Mavens is popular. I'm unfamiliar with how any of that other software was set up, and I am particularly skeptical of attempts to do single-player gambling. Just based on your question above, there are plenty of things that need to be obvious in a multi-player game like poker for comfort of mind: inability for cards to be manipulated, responsible owners, some kind of proven business history, at least an attempt to crack down on collaboration, etc.
Also if you haven't there should be some more information available on our IGB site: http://www.eohpoker.com/ which is also viewable OOG.
Edit: On a related note, would placing some kind of basic business information, such as # of games served or # of active accounts be of any use to bring new people in? I'm just asking you, as a new person, if that would help any. For example, we wiped our accounts and relaunched with our new user system a little under 3 weeks ago, and are almost back up 1000 active EOH accounts again.

Selene,
Thank you for responding to that question, even though I know it could be thought of as a little insulting (I'm not trying to be, just being careful and cautious). Looked through the documentation and saw that my earlier fears weren't needed; thank you for addressing that concern and putting those fears to rest.
I would gather that the reason you had so many people with the relaunch was because you had a bunch of old players returning under said new system. Although as a new person (and one who used to be looking at these things) yes, I think that putting in detailed information about how many accounts, how many games, perhaps even average isk that you hold (this might help to show a new person that you're trustworthy and won't run off with it, which a lot of people fear; might bring in more business) would help bring in any interested players to choosing to play.
No worries Tobin, it's probably our biggest hurdle in growing the community.
Well, before the account wipe we had around 2500 accounts used in the past 3 months (we remove ones older than that to reduce clutter), So 1000 in about 3 weeks is about right. But yeah, we've really only focused on the service itself and have only really pushed advertising since the new year (sigs, banner ads, upcoming radio ads (I hope), etc). I'm always open to new ideas for both advertising our service and giving information to our customers that would be helpful and/or comforting.
Now, where to include such data =D

the rake is to big imo, you need to fix that on the 500 million + tables, in 1 vs 1, rake is eating our stacks way to fast.
Those tables aren't designed for 1v1 play. The 1-2 B table is only at 1.5% in case you were wondering. Unfortunately I'd drop the % on 1v1 matches there, but it's currently not an option. I'm also generally against 1v1 ring tables.

I updated the thread with some quick stats so that new players can get an idea for exactly how much our business has been used, safely I might add =) This was done as per an earlier customer suggestion, so thanks for that sir.
And Grozen, the 1-2 B table saw some use during the last busy period, and those come and go, you high rollers travel in packs I swear =P So while it may not see much love right now I expect it to be heavily used the next time a few of you guys congregate again =)

My only real issue is the lack of normally structured STT's, personally I don't like the turbo double-throughs, I'd really like to see more 9-10 person tourneys that pay 1st-3rd.
We originally ran this game type, but once DTs/TTs showed up, such a majority of the playerbase preferred the new format (80%+) that it became very hard to run normal Tournaments other than for big events, which we still do (such as the Anniversary tournament or some Event Night multi-tables).
Originally by: DrJ Zoidberg
2nd issue is with the ring game limits, the 2/4 tables have a 75BB max buy in, while all the other tables have a 100BB max buy in. The limits also jump from 2/4 to 5/10 to 25/50, so you go from playing with 30mill on the table to 100mill to 500mill, those are some big leaps if you're building your roll up. A 3/6 table with a 100BB buy in would be nice, as well as a 15/30 with 100BB. I know, I know, you're probably limited by the software, as is 2/4 is too small, but there's not enough traffic at 5/10. I think a lot of the 2/4 people would play 3/6. Anyway, just my 2isk
We used to cover different sizes of buy-ins on the Ring tables. What always happened was the players would converge towards the lowest or the highest tables, with anything inbetween eventually ignored. Basically players wanted big money, or to play as cheap as possible, and would slowly draw middle-ground people to one extreme or the other. At this point there is a decent gap between sizes, and we now see each table size type in regular use, most likely due to them not overlapping too much. So the current layout isn't because I haven't considered what you said, but mostly due to the reality of our poker population.

not to be mean but been playing this a few times... i see more bad beats on this maven in one game then i see in 10 in real life.... 2-3 players have a straight in one hand is common and one will have the higher one than the other 2 but the one that won got his high straight on the river or something... i dont know but kind of lame happens to much.
There's nothing special about the software and how it deals the cards, it's just a plain RNG. Also don't fall into the self-delusion many real-life poker players do when they come online, which is to compare the two within the same time period. You're seeing -far- more hands in online play than in RL. The probabilities are the same, but the volume is much different. Playstyles also matter, with us seeing a lot of loose playstyles since it's not playing with $$$, which causes more crazy hands to end up happening since people don't fold allowing more weird **** to happen on the river. Online poker is pretty crazy, and EOH is even crazier for the reason mentioned above.

Thanks sir =D
I could also use a favor. If you have know of anyone with some spare ISK and who like poker, I could use some more DT bankers in the near future. Preferably people who have already played for a bit, but either way, ask around, and potential staff members can evemail me in-game after reading http://www.eohpoker.com/bankers.htm. I want to keep coverage solid for you folks, and it looks like we need more staff again for that.

Not a bad idea. For the moment we're taking super-high down -- it was really a one-time request sort of thing. I'm planning on another EOH Series of Poker tournament for next month, so maybe once that's up and taking registrations I'll also ask folks when would be good for a weekly high stakes ring table.

Updated the stats on the main page, will be fixing autodeposit mistakes from this week tonight or tomorrow (remember use live bankers, or use autodeposit correctly, otherwise you have to wait days for it to get fixed), and coming up soon I'm looking at:
- Scheduled Friday/Saturday night time for high rollers to use the High / V.High (to be added) tables.
- Another 1+ Billion ISK buyin tournament. I'd like to do that alliance theme that we never did, but suggestions on themes and buyin sizes would be appreciated.

how busy are the cashgame tables nowadays? I tried to log in the other day but apparently my account has been deleted? (good thing there wasnt any chips left on it ;) )
Last time i played there would be 2 or 3 tables with people on it, usually 1 highstakes and 2 or 3 lower ones. Has it gotten more crowded or less?
All accounts were removed and paid out at the end of Jan, and all accounts not used for 3+ months are deleted as per our terms on the website.
In the primetime hours I'd say it's busier, or at that same level. Normally I see a higher game, a mid game, 1-2 lows and the newbie tables going at once.

Thanks for the posts folks. I don't plan on having more than the one 1-5m table, as the entire purpose of this rake-free low-cost table is for people to learn how to use our service with a low entry barrier. It's nice in that it also keeps a table going practically 23/7, but if you want to play NL, or play in general, you should be playing on the Low table at least. If you can't afford the 10m minimum buyin you might want to save up some more before playing poker =D

best, Selene D'Celeste
u banned me few months ago,(reason spamming ''all in''

Oh my.
You've asked to be unbanned several times. And on two occasions you were caught spamming members of the channel, and the channel itself (on multiple characters) because you were purposely trying to be a jackass. Ban stays. Stop trying.
For anyone who isn't used to how I run things, it can be summed up as follows: you can do whatever you want as long as you:
- Are not racist, insanely offensive, or engaging in personal attacks in our rooms, on the tables, or in repeated mails and conversations to our customers.
- Are not a total jerk to myself or my staff members (telling the owner to '**** off' is not nice =P)
- Are not trying to cheat or scam EOH, its staff, or any of its customers within our channels, site, or client.
- Are not a spammer, and do not constantly annoy and upset customers and bankers for whatever reason.
- Are not disrupting the service in any way beyond understandable mistakes and misunderstandings
Basically I and EOH's staff try to be as hands-off and nonrestrictive as possible, but if you're a jerk then I'm happy to kick your ass to the curb, even if you're our best customer.
Hope that helps =D

Any chance of you guys updating the "Events" page?
Heh yeah that's my bad.
For a while there weren't bankers filling in the slots and it started to fall on the wayside, and I hadn't been updating it while being busy off-EVE. Lately the weekends have been -very- busy and the clamor for things like SBD and Capital games is high enough that I've more or less temporarily given the bankers free reign to run a few of these games a day on the weekends instead of one/night.
I suspect I'll update it in the near future, and buy a big stockpile of ships/etc at a lowish price to run a month or so of games off of. Consider it on my list.

Why have i been banned from poker?
I was waiting to start a tourney and lost connection when tryedto sign back in i was told that the addmistrator had banned me, what did i do ??????
My assumption is you did not read www.eohpoker.com and don't know how our service works. After looking into this, it looks like you were banned for randomly joining Tournament-style games without paying. Games in the Tournament tab require you to be in our in-game channels and pay the bankers live, and then join the appropriate table. They are not sit-and-go and do not use account chips -- that is what the tables under Ring are for. Please evemail me in game and I can clear this up.
A reminder to everyone new to EOH: dear lord, please read the rules. There is no reason you should be sending your ISK to anyone at EOH unless you know how our service works. This is why I have provided full explanations of how EOH runs on www.eohpoker.com.

hi i was wondering if i could get banned for cashing out too much or too often? CCP could misunderstand the huge donations as purchased isk and ban my account. i didnt read the whole thread so i dont know if this came up before. thanks in advance for any answers!
CCP is well aware of EOH as I have a very extensive petition history with them =D ISK laundering is an issue, and both CCP and EOH watch for such things, and have caught a couple such attempts in the past (ode to the banhammer).
I've never heard of anyone being banned simply for playing at EOH, and given how much ISK some of these guys bet, I'd say you have nothing to worry about.

All logins and registrations now go through http://www.eohpoker.com/
You can only launch Mavens via the 'Launch Mavens' button on the website once you log in.
Ring chips are now ONLY handled by auto-deposit, which is now pulled from the EVE Online Hold'Em corporation instead of the old character.
There is an issue with accounts younger than a week where you have to actually reregister with the EXACT SAME username AND password in order to have the website resync with Mavens. We should have better methods to reset this within a few days, so I apologize for any delays.

Oh, btw.. My account is more than a few weeks old, so it won't let me re-register. I also can't seem to find anyway to open a help-desk ticket without a log-in, so this is my only means of getting help. EOH Poker channel in game was unable to help me.
-Thanks again!
Hey ahold of me in-game and I can sort you out.

Not really whining, as i've cashed out over 10bil profit just in ring game chips, just hoping you might see a player's side of things. The big games rarely get going anymore, and i think this is partially to blame.
This has come up several times lately. We're discussing making rake on all tables a flat 5%, but dropping the max rake per hand to maybe 1.5 x BB. That way you high rollers don't get abused to hell, and you can actually play 1v1 or 3-way for a while in order to get a table to fill without needing to immediately leave due to the silly high rake.
It's a change I expect to happen soon. Right now we're busy with other parts of our upgrade, and I'd like to talk with staff more before redoing how we rake Ring. Any thoughts are appreciated =)

We're trying the new table rakes. At the moment all tables are capped at 2 x Big Blind, and rake is 5% on the smaller tables and 3% on the higher ones (Reg+). Let us know how this feels compared to before.

In Hindsight Selene, when API dies like it has it really shuts down half of the poker website. So there may be a thought to have an emergency ring banker situation.
Luckioly unscheduled API downtime is rare. If you know a patchday is coming and you want to play ring, then prestock your account =D Otherwise, there are always DTs available. This is yet another reason why I don't do tournaments with ring chips.

Yes, the special 3-seat newbie table is for learning only. If you can't afford the 10-30m buyins for low stakes, you probably should be focusing on exploring EVE instead of playing poker =)

Things have been pretty smooth lately. I'm interested in finding ways to bring up our low-stakes ring population. You can play on there with as little as 20m for quite a bit of time. I'm all ears to non-exploitable ways to try and get those low-stakes tables packed even moreso every night =) Want to get you guys some good, cheap entertainment.

So I found this thread though Capsuleer and I'm wondering something: what's the lowest bid you can place or even the lowest amount of ISK that you can have? My character's only a month old and I just have 10 milion.
The games run by bankers in channel start off at 28m buyins. The ring system's smallest table is a 5-10m buyin table. Chips are 100k each, and you're talked 1/2 chips for blinds.

Can i ask when the rule was added that if your afk for 3 months your balance gets wiped? Just came back to eve and looked forward to playing but my 1.5 billion in chips was gone  . Heh guess i can't complain as i started with 20 mill on EOH and built it up. Shame it ended up like this.
A part from that sneaky little rule i would happily recommend EOH to everyone if your interested in poker (i've probably been playing for a little less then 2 years). Selene has a pretty tight set-up and all the banking staff from what i've seen are friendly and theres always one available (well there was 3 months ago anyway). All around a great service.
That rule's been there since we opened ring in July 2008. Basically, we're not a bank, and we don't want to have a lot of ISK from people who are no longer here that we're liable for. Accidents do happen (like our security incident last January), and we're not about to make the matter worse by being a timeless storehouse.
It used to only be on the website, but we moved it to the Mavens MOTD and the autodeposit page back in February relaunch in order to make it more obvious.
Thanks for the kind words =)
Edit: If it's any consolation I think that ISK went into the giant freeroll we ran a couple of months ago. |

Welcome back Tom =D
Also if you get locked out of your account you can ask any banker in channel to help you unlock it. If this isn't enough and you didn't set a valid email for the reset password option, I can fix the accounts, but I'm going to be unavailable for a couple of days starting now over the holiday. So leave a mail if necessary.
Happy holidays folks!

Also I think the banker and people who keep it running should get a small percentage( like 1-2%) from each withdrawal.

So do the high stakes ring tables run any more? Just came back from a few months off and they're always empty when I've signed on. :((((((((((((
They do, just rarely. Until a couple of months ago around two-thirds of our traffic was in ring, but now more like three-fourths of our traffic is in 1v1s and DT/TTs. Ring is still used, but mostly for lower stakes. I see med-high games once in a while on ring, but it is much rarer than before.

Have you guys gotten around to fixing the code yet so it stops having so many straights and flushes?
When I last played a month ago, it's intensely frustrating how unlike real poker it can be.
Before Eve, i was an online freeroll runner. I probably tested all online poker rooms. What I can say is that Mavens is as good as many professionnal poker table I have played and it s well balanced.
What you are refering is a classic statement when someone comes from irl card game and discover online poker.
You are seeing many straights and flushes because you are playing 10x or 20x more hands an hour than "real poker".
Thanks. This is basically what I was going to say.
The Mavens guy has done randomness testing on his system and I've gone through some test data myself. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the randomness algorithms for what cards come into play. You may also be used to playing at sites that doctor their hands, like some $ sites are known to do.

Thanks again for all of the kind words folks. I think we're going to be moving to a new thread in the Sell forum, since all of the in-game selling of services happens there now (all of the lotteries and other events have more or less moved there). Links will be up in the in-game channels once the move officially happens.
