Texas Holdem Room 1
Texas Holdem Room 1
Hello everyone, and thank you for joining, considering joining, or at least reading the posts of my attempt of creating a game of Lux Poker. Hopefully this game will be successful, and will give birth to many new forum ideas because of its slightly unique ideas. If not, at least we will have played some good poker. Alright, let's start with the rules.
In this edition of Lux Poker, we'll be playing No-Limit Texas Holdem:
-Firstly, let me again annouce that this game is all for fun and not for profit in any way, nor am I trying to encourage gambling. I am not planning on awarding any trophies for winning this game, but should someone create such a trophy, I would happily award one.
-Secondly players will not be forced to play at a certain time, but I urge those who would like to play to be active at least once per day.
-I will be the only one whose duty it will be to private message players. The actions of others players will take place within the thread itself. Of course, you are allowed to pm me with questions and such, but I'm just saying that it won't ever be required of you throughout the game.
In the game, each player will be given 1000 chips, which I will be refering to as RAW from now on (as it gives the game more of a Lux feel.) The blinds will start at 5-10, with no antes and no rake. On every round number that is divisible by 5 (5, 10, 15, 20 etc.) the blinds will increase.
Blinds:
Original: 5-10
Round 5: 10-20
Round 10: 25-50
Round 15: 40-80
Round 20: 60-120
Round 25: 100-200
Round 30: 150-300
Round 35: 200-400
Round 40: 300-600
(Blinds will be capped at 300-600.)
Those of you who play poker will realize that this is a very rapid blind increase, but I don't want this game to go on forever. Knowing this, most of you will be playing short stack strategies throughout much of the game.
At the beginning of the game, each player will be given a seat number, which will correspond to their position on the imaginary table. I will be posting an image which shows everyone's position on the table so that it can act as a visual aid. The button will start at seat one, and will rotate clockwise one seat after each hand.
At the beginning of each hand I will pm you your cards, while simultaneously posting the results of the previous in the game thread, thus starting the next hand. So that no confusion is caused when I post the end hand post, I will also state which player will be first to act in the following hand.
Players will be expected to pay attention to who is playing, and play accordingly. At the end of each hand, I'll recap the action. My goal for the game is to accomplish 1 hand every 2 days (in each room that is).
TSK: Texas Stick 'um.

If there is still interest in this game I can get the bugs worked out in a day or two. I was originally waiting to see if anyone else would sign-up, but it seems I waited a little bit too long. If everyone still has support for the game, I can start it up this Friday.
One thing that I'd like to add is that people can pm me that they'd like to "check/fold" the way that you can on poker rooms. Meaning that you pm me and then I'll check for you if the option is available, if not I'll fold for you. I think this ability would greatly speed up the game. What does everyone else think of this idea?

Okay the rooms are officially open! Your hands have been pmed to you. If you did not receive a pm from me containing your hand, then please tell me as soon as you can and I'll get back to you about it. I apologize in advance if any such mistake happens on my end.
Players, when it is your turn you can either post your play yourself or you can pm me what you want me to do for you. You can also pm me as soon as you get your cards telling me that you want to fold as soon as possible. I will fold for you when the conditions you give me apply (e.g. fold any bet).
If you don't see your name on the list, you're probably at the other table. If you don't see your name on either list for some reason, pm me and I'll sort it out.
Remember, this is no limit hold'em. So feel free to raise All-in whenever you want.

1) Suntzu Dealer
2) Capicola Small Blind
3) jesterme Big Blind
4) TSK
5) Elka Ostrovsky
6) Shockandawe
Current Blinds: 5-10

Elka calls- 10 RAW.
