FWS Poker Tournament

[Johnson]

So I was thinking. You can set up your own poker tournaments using fulltilt poker, which is available for windows and mac. Anyone here interested in doing a holdem tourny? It wouldn't be for money, just for funsies.

[Richard]

Yeah. Thats not a bad idea.

Count me in.

[Eclouds]

I am interested as well.

[bigperm]

In it to win it.

[utcrazy]

I play for keeps.

[Johnson]

So that's five, we need either 6/9/18/27 people. Then we'll establish a time that everyone can do.

Mmmmk?

[Johnson]

Eh, nix full tilt, you can't create custom tables. I'll find another one.

[Tree]

I do like the idea though. Definitely in. For money even.

[Johnson]

Maybe we'll do money later, but I don't think everyone wants to do a minimum $50 deposit

[sep]

I'll join when you start doing it with real money. Legal or illegal.

[Tree]

$50 deposit sounds a bit steep. Maybe like $10 or $15.

[Johnson]

It's not my decision, poker sites have a minimum deposit of $50.

[Johnson]

Alright, it'll be at pokerroom.com, you don't even have to download anything, so it's on every computer that has java. This first tourny well do play money and go from there. Let's wait for some more people, decide a time and I'll set it up.

[Blank Verse]

---- I hope I'm in on this. When is this happening? Me wantey!

[Host Factory]

im up for that, well the free one cause dont have any money as of late

[bigperm]

I say that when we do it, we all get on skype.

[Johnson]

You guys can, my satellite internet and skype don't mix.

Anyways, we have 9, which is good enough. What does everyone say to 20:00 fws time on Friday? Everyone pm me your emails, gtalk, or msn messenger info so I can send you the table info.

[Nug]

count me in!

[utcrazy]

Yeah, I remember skypeing with Johnson one time and it wasn't the greatest sound quality. I think I'm gone Friday unfortunately, I can join you guys at 10:30 EST.

[Johnson]

Are you gone all Friday? Hope not, because Friday is the absolute best day for me.

[utcrazy]

I'll be back 10:30 EST

[iBrightDev]

why not saturday instead?

[Tree]

Yeah, I'm gone Friday.

[Johnson]

Alright, Saturday. Is FWS time the same for everyone, or does it change depending on your time zone?

[Tree]

Changes depending on time zone. Probably should set the time in UTC.

[Johnson]

tdawg, establish a central time source kthx.

[bigperm]

Not during a football game this weekend. I mean really, this is an awesome playoff and I am not going to miss a second of it.

[Blank Verse]

Friday/Saturday both bad for me.

[Ben]

The way this has played out is so cliche.

"How about friday?"
"Nahh dude, I have to walk my dog and ----."
"Saturday?"
"Nahh dude, I have to go to the grocery store."

etc

[iBrightDev]

@Ben, haha

can everyone agree on Sunday then. i dont got ---- Sunday besides laundry, but, who says you cant play on the comp naked. :P

[Tree]

tdawg, establish a central time source kthx.
http://time.gov/timezone.cgi?UTC/s/0/java

[Johnson]

Does that detect your time zone and set time accordingly?

And does everyone agree on Sunday?

[Richard]

http://time.gov/timezone.cgi?UTC/s/0/java

Does not work.

It says: "The offical US time is:" and then lists: 22:11, which is GMT+0 (DLS) not US time ;)

That thing just pulls the time from your computer :P

[Richard]

Never mind. UTC is GMT+1, which is the same as GMT+0 in DLS.

[Tree]

Does not work.

It shows the time in UTC. It does not pull the time off your computer.

[Johnson]

So 24:00 on Sunday everyone?

[utcrazy]

Sunday night earlier is good for me, what time is 2400 in EST

[Johnson]

I think it's 7pm central.

[Blank Verse]

I will be on an airplane.

Why don't we just sort of make this a semi regular thing so if someone can't make it, they could maybe make it the next time.

[Johnson]

Yeah, I'll set up an official global timeajig for Sunday and whoever shows plays.

[Johnson]

I can't set up play money games. asdfsdsadfshbcvkj

[Space Ghost]

this is one of the most confusing threads i have ever read haha
count me in if its pay for fun!

[Patrick]

Count me in.

2400 GMT is 7 PM EST (-5).
4 PM Central (-8).

[Host Factory]

[Johnson]
