Title: Texas Hold Em site
Post by: Garrett Burgwardt on February 02, 2011, 09:36:06 PM
Would anyone be interested? I'd love to get one set up for us all :)

I was thinking 100 chips per btc, then having a variety of tables for people to play at. Of course, this is useless if nobody plays.


So, express your interest here!

https://betco.in/ - seems a waste though it's a very good idea but no one is ever on...

Hmmm. True. I'm not a big fan of the interface of that game, the one I could set up is a nicer looking flash game. Maybe we could organize game nights?

Okay, I've got a 'tester' site up at http://bitcoinholdem.dyndns.biz/

It's not customized or anything yet, but it should work well in the long run :)

Go ahead and make an account, it's free to look around! :)

To get chips, pm me and we'll work something out, and unfortunately you'll have to trust me to begin with I suppose. Still, the only table open is a micro, and the biggest I've set you to be able to take into that table is 1 btc, or 100 chips.

Who wants to setup a time for lots of people to get on and play?

Okay, I've gotten a few accounts setup - how about this? I'll credit everyone's account with 2 bitcoins worth of chips, that is signed up before some date, and shortly after that date/on that date, we will have a big opening night game. That raise any more interest?

I'm happy to teach you, I'm not the best but I can explain the basics and be an opponent for you to play against.

It's manual at the moment but if you guys just want to play I can credit us and then just remove it before serious play happens :)

I agree. We just need more people. If I could get 4 or 5 to agree on a time to play I'd set it up. Spread the word!

Thanks I will spread the word, I have a question though can you "cash out" or is this like facebook money where you buy it solely for entertainment purposes?


Title: Re: Texas Hold Em site

Of course you can cash out - just tell me how many chips you want to take out, I'll remove those chips and send bitcoins :)
