Poker

[JPaul]

As bd has let the whole of the USA down by his abject failure to start a poker thread I thought I would do it.

Simple really, suggest a date and time (in GMT if you could, would be simplest) when you would be up for a game. If anyone else fancies it just quote the post and say that they are in. Anyone else can quote the latest post then we'll know who is all up for that game.

The more the merrier people, I've played about 6 games of Hold 'em so am far from being able to play. It's just for a bit of craic and a wee game. Maybe rip the pish out of each other. Scrap the "maybe" btw, I don't know what I was thinking about. Even if you've never played before, give it a bash.

I make one personal rule tho'. No tards, no invite traders or anything like that. I can't do anything about them being here, it's not my forum. However I don't need to have anything to do with them elsewhere. I'm quite sure they want about as much to do with me, as I want to have to do with them.

Just an idea chaps. If no-one is interested cool.

[Skweeky]

I'm in, as long as it isn#t during X factor.

[Spider_dude]

i'm in as long as it's during x-factor

[JPaul]

:lol:

Who fancies tonight at 21:30 GMT

[Proper Bo]

[JPaul]

Edited that because of the X-Factor factor.

I originally said 21:00 but realised Skweeky would kill me.

[Spider_dude]

[JPaul]

[Proper Bo]

ewe can set the gheyme up, like, ewe might want to stick a passwurd on it too so it doesn't fill up with random interweb people.

[Spider_dude]

sounds good and sounds good
lets play just now, some cunt set it up

[JPaul]

I'll give it a try

[JPaul]

JimF's game

p/word spud

[Spider_dude]

downloading,will join as soon as its up

[JPaul]

I've just stuck with the default settings, as it's the first time I've used it.

[Spider_dude]

i'm in
i greeted you with the greeting alright homo

[JPaul]

I see you're in mate. Want to see if there's anyone else or have a quick go.

Bearing in mind I really am very new to this

I could fill it with computer opponents if you would prefer that.

[Spider_dude]

where is the bo?

[Spider_dude]

have you played before?

[JPaul]

I've played about half a dozen games on line and watched quite a bit on the telly so I kind of understand it.

Pretty much a learner tho'.

[Spider_dude]

i'll go easy on you then.

[JPaul]

Good lad.

Do you want computer opponents as well

[JPaul]

Chavis is in

[JPaul]

He just dissapeared

[JPaul]

He's back

[Spider_dude]

we could just play with the 3 of us

[JPaul]

Right, I'll get it started.

Hopefully Chavis is looking.

That's why I think set times are better but let's give it a try.

[cilice]

Yep, I'm looking, like.

[Proper Bo]

Unable to join - the server has already started the game.
bawlbags

[JPaul]

That's why I think an agreed time is the best way mate.

I thought the default play time was a wee bit too fast.

What do you chaps think.

[cilice]

I thought it was alright considering it's the first time I've played against corporeal life forms, like.

Maybe try it slower and see how that goes.

[JPaul]

It was probably particularly noticeable with just three. With more round the table there would be more thinking time. Like you say we should try a wee bit slower next time and see how that goes.

[Skweeky]

I can't find JimF's game

[Skweeky]

It is the Internet Game Lobby we log in from right?

[JPaul]

It's not there just now pal

You set a game up then people join, just do it on a case by case basis. If you don't start the game within a few minutes it nags you to do it so you can't really have it there permanently.

You just look in the list of games being played and select it from there. I think it's just called after the person's username.

[Proper Bo]

Yeah. JP's not on at the murment tho', that's why the game's not there.

edit:jp beat me to it, like

[Skweeky]

Oh that's fine then. Well, I'll see yous all at 9.30. Prepare to have yer arses kicked by a girl. Muahahaha.

[JPaul]

We could start a thread for each proposed game with a date and time, then people can say whether they want to play.

[Something Else]

Yes. That's a smashing idea.

[cleptomaniac]

We still doing this tonight? I can't wait to play some poker.
