Hey, if you're a real money poker player, we are planning on having weekly tournaments online, and eventually real tables. Please join the Revscene Poker Club (http://www.revscene.net/forums/group.php?groupid=1) group for now, as that's where much of the new info will be found.

Tournaments will probably be in the $5 buy-in range, and depending on how many people we get, there could be a nice prize in the end for the winner each week ;) :thumbsup:

This is a moderated group, and only accounts in good standing will be accepted.

[MyPresIzBlack]

What do you mean by "accounts in good standing"?
Im interested, but not sure if I qualify?

[Nvasion]

how do i join

[SkinnyPupp]

Go to the group, and click join!

[Grandmaster TSE]

i joined
and i think it would be awesome for real table games

[quasi]

I'd be interested in live play as well the biggest problem is the lower mainland is massive and people are scattered throughout. :)

I don't mind traveling to a game and if people feel like driving into the valley I don't mind hosting a game either as long as it's a smaller group no more then 10 people. I really live in the burbs though so for most it probably wouldn't be convenient or worth it.

[iwantaskyline]

Face to face tourneys would be pretty fun.

[411ken]

I joined as well. When are you thinking of starting it?


Where do you live Quasi?

[ws6ta]

I joined...I wouldn't come for a face to face tournament for a 5 dollar buy in but online fun is cool. face to face needs to be a bare minimum of 50...

[SkinnyPupp]

Yeah in-person games is just a theoretical thing right now, something we're talking about. Online tourneys is something I really want to do, and should be happening as soon as we get at least 10 people to confirm they will do it.

[411ken]

I'd play as long as it's after work.. of course lol....

and I agree about house games.. 50 is good if there's a bunch of ppl... but 20 is good enough if there's just 10.

[Synaptik]

i prefer live play, watching people's expressions during poker is 50% of the game.

[LsquareD]

+1 for live play. But where can it be held? :lol

[Slifer]

+1 for live play

[Grandmaster TSE]

could try to work something out for people that has the space to hold it

[quasi]

Where do you live Quasi?

Langley border 5 minutes from #1 Hwy, 3 minutes from Willowbrook mall.

[f00tzilla]

+1 for live play and it'll have to be more than $5 buy in for sure like at least $20 if we have 3 tables

[Ch28]

I think we'd need to do a bunch of online games first within the same group of people. I know I sure as hell wouldn't want to invite a bunch of strangers over when money is involved.

[punkwax]

Liveplay is the way to go. Too many suckouts/bullshit hands online. Need a real deck of cards.

After trust established should organize a hall with $50 buy in.

That being said, I'm still down for online first as long as it's after work :)

Quasi - I'm 5 mins away, if you're ever looking to fill a seat shoot me a PM!

[Fafine]

im down

Suckouts happen in real life too you know. The decks are all the same

[HonestTea]

I might be interested for online, depends how trustable the site is lol and how we're able to pay

[!SG]

we are trying online tournaments now, working with casinos to possibly host a future real tournament.

or worse case scenario, we all go hog that electronic table at the villa... =P

[411ken]

wow.. tourney at a casino? will this just be RS members or anyone? I know it's all planning but just curious lol.

[punkwax]

I'm fully aware suckouts happen in real life. About 5% as often as online. ;)

[F3]

That's probably because you play 20 times more hands per hour online than you do IRL. ;)

[SkinnyPupp]

Exactly. The chance of suckouts is no different online than it is in person. You just see it a lot more, because you are playing WAY WAY WAY more hands.

[Jassanova]

I'm in once in a while, had to curb my online poker playing lately because of excess plaintiffs but I'll make some time for tourneys.

[KaOsTiK]

count me in

[Jayboogz]

wow im pretty down

[silk]

the chance u getting a decent hand or pocket pair online is def higher than in real life !
No question to that, therefore.. you tend to play more hands and u get beaten by better hands
It felt like set ups playing online
I been going casino to play poker 4 days a week in the year of 2006 and it last for 1yrs and 9months before i went bankrupt on BACARRAT TABLE lol*
within the 2 yrs, i have only see 4 times Quad and 1 time Royal flush and 3 times straight flush..where when i play online for 1 months, i see nurmous QUAD, STRAIGHT FLUSH , and ROYAL FLUSH... not to mentioned FULL HOUSE BEATEN BY FULL HOUSE and sets over sets...
overall.. i wouldnt want to play online.. but real life is COOL ..

[411ken]

^ I agree. Real life is cool but since it's 5 bux, i woudln't mind playing online for fun..

How many hands have you played online? I estimate that I've played more than 50k hands online (not a lot). Playing online it's super easy to play for an hour or two and play 500+ hands - and that's just four-tabling.

Now, how long would it take to play this many hands live? Let's estimate that each hand, live, takes 1 minute. This is clearly conservative because it usually takes at least a minute for the first round of betting alone.

500 hands = 500 minutes ~ 8+ hours at the casino, vs 1.5 hours online.

50 000 hands = 50 000 minutes = more than a month of time at the casino, playing every single minute of every day, never eating, sleeping, washing, shitting or fapping... or if you played 12 hour days, it's almost 70 days of playing poker.

i cant multi task.... i have tried playing online with 2 tables , but that just dont work for me... i stick to 1 table only..
my point wasnt how fast each hand is.. my point is playing online u could get more premium hand then in real life.
have you ever try out the lighting poker at Villa or Starlight...? i sat there for 3 hrs once, and on average every 10~15 hands, u get AJ or above to start
i found it odds.... and not as realistic ..
dont get me wrong.... online and any automated DEALING can be a fun game also.. but u get better thrill at a face to face game

i don't really consider myself a poker player, i always need to be reminded of the rules everytime i play.

what i don't get is... how does online poker work? how the fuck do you "bluff". i mean, you can't even see your opponents faces or whatever, everyone's pretty much stone cold. doesnt online play take away a big portion of what poker is really about?

i always loved the bluffing part of poker, i play just for the deception part of the game. i ove the fact that i can play fucking mind games with the opponents.

You bluff with your betting or chat.

Once you learn to play, you will know what people are "supposed" to do, and what you will be "expected" to do. That's where bluffing comes in.

You should read The Poker Jerk (http://www.pokerjerk.net/)'s site ;)

i wont play online...but if you guys get together and have an actual table game, count me in

you bluff online by placing strategic bets of the right amounts at the right times
