Thinking about setting up an online poker night for the forum. I made a poll with some questions to see what you all would like. For those of you that play online which sites do you play at? I play at Ignition, there is no chat at the tables and I don't see a way to set up private freeplay tables. One thought I had is if we found a new site and we all decided to play for low stakes real money I could set up a link that has a referral code that leads back to me. Any deposits made the site would give me a bonus and I could use the bonus money to set up a grand prize or see if I can buy some Blazer swag prizes. I would have no problem posting the accounting of my account so you guys would see I'm not trying to profit off of you. That means if you start looking for sites to join, just read the reviews and don't join. Send the link to me, I'll join and then post the referral code for you all to join under. If we only want to play for fake money, bragging rights, and forum glory then go ahead and join. But we should really wait to see what the group wants. Thoughts? Ideas? Complaints?
I have always been confused about the legality of real money poker online. I don't think we can in Oregon or Washington...
I’m down..I’ve been playing on America’s cardroom and on bovada, but I think i still have an account on Ignition from when they took over Bovadas poker room for awhile. I’d rather play for real money
Okay, well I got into my PokerStars account. SlyPokerDog Playing in the play money low stakes table by the name of Portlandia.
I would love to play either way! Maybe we should try out some free ones first until we find one that everyone is comfortable with. If we do real money we could just venmo a "treasurer" an entry fee and have tournaments or something and then that treasurer pays off the people who place in the money.
...I am waiting to hear back on the full setup, but I have some friends that have been using a poker site coupled with zoom to "host" local home game style tourneys. From the sounds of it, whoever is running tourney collects funds virtually for buy-ins and sets up the tourney thru the poker site (pretty sure it's a free game with no real money exchanged -- just the platform to run the private tourney on). Once everyone is signed in you can optionally connect with everyone on zoom and play and chat in real time as the action unfolds online. Looked pretty cool and perfect for quarantine time! UPDATE: they setup the games thru https://pokerhost.co/ where you can customize your games and tourney settings -- connecting with live zoom chats makes for an entertaining night @SlyPokerDog
