On 3/27/04 at 2:00 GMT a Hold'em Poker Tournament will be held at the yahoo games "Hold'em poker" website so set your Eve to windowed mode. A five million isk entry fee is required and I will accept people into the game in order of their posts so act now before the game fills up. You will need to trust me with your 5 mil but the game will be much more transparency that other proposals (Hadean Drive Yards). I have been in the game for a long time and I have no intention of leaving or scamming people. This should be fun and I'm looking forward to it.

I'm in. The user interface is terrible on Yahoo. But it is the easiest way to get a private table without having to have everybody sign up or play for real money.
My only problem is that I can't figure out how to make sure everybody has the same amount of money when we start out, unless they all create new yahoo accounts every time we play (assuming that this event would continue). But I suppose we could make new accounts each time we played something like "mynameineveX" where X would increment each time we play.
And for the guy that is trying to organize the other poker game that will be "dealt by his own honest hands"...I realize that you are just trying to make money, but if you really want to make money on this deal you will have to do something like what Trev here is offering. Nobody trusts your "honest" hands. And I'm sure the Yahoo game is not bulletproof, but you'd have to do some hacking to tamper with it, and that's a lot of work for 50 million isk.
I respect MASS enough as a corp to not steal all the deposited money, but is there any chance we could get a GM, or polaris person to hold the isk until we are done? That would make this almost risk free to the players that want to participate.
But yeah, i'm definitely in assuming I don't have to be somewhere that day. Even if I have to trust my money with Trev for a bit.
btw, lets shoot for 10 players, and we'll all just play for an hour or 2 or until the last man is left.

I'm flexible guys, hopefully we can make this a regular thing but as this will be the EVE Casino's maiden voyage lets just keep it simple and visit yahoo. It doesn't take long to set up a profile and while there are better websites (pokerroom.com) (partypoker.com) these both require downloads and yahoo's applet can be downloaded in seconds using a 56k connection. Invite your corpmates, bottles of spiced wine will be given at the door. :P

Didn't understand what you implying there. My game is more see through? 
All joking aside this will probably work better than my idea, best of luck with it Trev.

He means that everybody can see the cards generated by yahoo, and we don't have to rely on the cards dealt by your own "honest" hands, which are not immediately visible to anybody but you...

I was at a Hold-Em night on Tuesday (broke even) and at a RL tournie a few weeks back (finished 4th from 80) so I'd definitely be up for it.
Just short of the 5mil atm after spending 4.2 on 5 harvesters. Might have to sell them now to get my entry fee :)
What's the planned division of spoils. Winner takes all, or (say) 1st - 80% 2nd - 20%?

Party poker causes 'issues' with EVE though doesnt it ? I must admit Ive not combined the 2 for a while
I will pwn your wrecking flush shot though with my 1337 tech 3 full house mod
All your chips are belongs to me
So HMV consider Andy Williams and Dean Martin to be "easy listening" do they? Tell that to my mate Dave, he's been deaf for 20 years.

Was wondering how you were going to pull that one off...

Party poker works fine with eve. But it does cause some lag.
The problem with party poker is that I don't think there is a way to prevent people from just rebuying for more chips if we are at a play money table.

I'm sure there are some Perl or Python card shuffeling algroithims out there.
Somebody care to grab one and write one that would work in-game?
(I'd do this my self, but between RL, Work, and Games I don't know when I'd have the time)

You would want a pokersite that supports tournaments.. And especially player created tournaments..
I remember seeing this feature on a site, but this was a long time ago and i dont even remember which site.
Does gamespy still have a poker-room feature?

Okay here is how it will all break down...
At 2:00 GMT (9:00pm EST) on 3/27/04
1) Visit http://games.yahoo.com/
2) Select "Hold'em Poker" from card games
3) Go to the "Advanced Lounge 4"
4) There will be a room with the name Trevedian in it, join that game.
5) The password to join the game will be "Jove"
You will need to create a yahoo profile to play (preferably with your EVE character name).
You will need a new profile (or one with more than $1000 and we subtract the difference) for this poker tournament so everyone will start with $1000. The 5 mil entry fee will be divided across the $1000 ($1 = 5000 isk).
I threw this together at the last minute so I'm still open to suggestions recommendations...
In answer to my man hellwarrior's question... We follow the rules of yahoo etc... So I think its all good

Yahoo is not no limit, and the blinds are fixed, so eliminating people completely could be difficult. I suggest we set a time where we will stop if multiple players are left on the table. Then just give them their portion of the isk directly proportional to the number of chips they have left.

Are you still going ahead with this ?
Are you aware that that exact time and date co-incides with changes to clocks for daylight saving hours.
At 2.00am GMT the UK move their clocks to 3.00am which could makes things a little confusing ....

Trev is a little behind schedule getting the table setup, but he'll be there and I'll be there. Table should be setup shortly.

Lets play Hold 'em Poker on Saturday 4/03/04 at 2:00 GMT - 3:00 GMT(9:00-10:00 PM EST) at yahoo.com, Advanced Lounge 4. Have a profile and have some money. Screw the Chess Tournament! Please post here if you are interested in participating. There will be a 5 million isk entry fee and perhaps we can get a Polaris to hold the isk.
This was a success the first week we tried it and I hope to have fun again and gamble for isk.

Trev - why not let EVE Guardian put out an article on it in the sports section?
Its essentially free advertising after all. Just give us some info from the last one (Or even better a small write up on who came, who lost, who won) and the details of the next meeting or who to contact etc etc.
I fyou let me know what you need in terms of "holding the mney" (?) I can probably find you a Polaris dude to help out also.
