[OFFICIAL] SRL Poker Club!

Saw the idea on Sythe, played a few games, it was fun, so I brought it over here with some tweaks!

Official SRL Poker Club
Play Poker With Friends for RSGP Pots!
My Skype: A.Lakhotia

How To Get Started:
PokerStars:

  • Download the Official PokerStars client from here.
  • Set up your account. (Try to make it as close to your SRL name as possible)
  • To join the group, click the 'Home Games' tab on the very right, then click the 'Join A Poker Club' button on the left.
  • Club ID #: 659599
  • Invitation Code: 13371337

Skype:
Optional but very helpful!

  • Download Skype.
  • Set up an account.
  • Edit your name to be (or at least include) your SRL name Ex: Aakash [YoHoJo]
  • Post your Skype info here so I can add you to the SRL Poker Skype group.
  • It's very convenient to set up timely games when we can all see who is online by checking Skype.
  • It's also fun to get on mic and talk about the game aloud whilst playing (Also getting mad, yelling, and cursing at each other VERY FUN!)

General Rules/Protocol
As of now I am the only 'Manager/Host/etc' of the club (On PokerStars), but I will add more later.
I think this means I am the only one who can currently set up games etc.


  • When people wish to play, they will say so in the SRL Poker Skype chat (or post here).
  • They will negotiate on a buy-in, # of players, how the GP will be split amongst winner(s), who will hold the gp,time to play, and any other details.
  • GP can be handled in one of two ways
    1. Everyone agrees to trust each other, and everyone will individually trade over the GP to the winner.
    2. If even one of the players does not trust the above, all GP must be given to a middleman who is deemed trustable by ALL PLAYERS. This middleman will payout the winner at the end of the game.
    3. Play the game on PokerStars, chat on Skype (on mic if you wish!), and have fun! (I think as of now I am the only one who can set up games, but I will grant other uses this ability later so people can play when I'm not online too!)
    4. Once the game is over, depending on which method was chosen, the MiddleMan or each individual player will pay out to the winner. (You can device if winner gets all, or 2nd place gets buyin back & winner gets rest)

    Any any additional questions can be asked here and I will edit the first post as needed!
    Since I'm on summer break I am online pretty regularly (PST)!

    Let's get some games started today!

    2012-07-16 20:04:25

    Everyone get the program and request invite into the group!
    So far it's just me and NKN, I wana get this pretty big :].
    Fun to play a few small pot games every now and then.
    Maybe some guys will even do big pot games?!

    I normally just stick to 0-35 M.

    Accepted/Added Dgby714 to PokerStars, do you have skype too?

    Dgby714

    2012-07-16 20:30:39

    I applied… Tho I wont be able to play many games seein as I have no gp's lol…

    I can prob be a middleman if everyone playing the game trusts me (unlikly.. I is very undergroud on Villavu)

    hmmm, maybe host a free game? So people can get the feel of the software/game?

    YoHoJo

    2012-07-16 20:33:01

    Um sure, it's pretty straight forward, but pretty fast paced for me I'd say, but you get used to it fast.
    Umm maybe when we get a good chunk of people on Skype we can do some free/practice games.

    My same thought process.

    I'm about to join now. :)

    NKN

    2012-07-16 21:12:19

    Should have a list of current members on the OP so we know who's in it.

    YoHoJo

    2012-07-16 21:16:05

    Yeah I will do that soon.
    Hoping to get a 10M+ game happening today!
    Join up and posts Skypes everyone!

    Joe

    2012-07-16 21:22:15

    Man I hate putting mills on the line… is there gonna be semi-fun games with under a mil. Like 100k buyins and mostly just play for fun with a tiny bit of gold on the side?
    I could set those up if you let me, cuz I'm sure a lot of us wont want to lose 10m/round.

    *Getting all neccessary elements to join.

    YoHoJo

    2012-07-16 21:23:09

    Yea man, wager as much/little as you like!
    As long as you can find people who wish to wager same amount as you, play as many games at whatever buyin as you wish!

    NKN

    2012-07-16 21:26:37

    I'll play 100k, Joe, YoHoJo is too rich to play it with me. :(

    Narcle, Yoho, NCDS and Dgby… seems like the odds are against me. I will sign up eventually as I dont have time right now. I will play every now and again. Looking forward to losing some gp but having some fun :)

    2012-07-16 22:15:45

    This sounds great! I'd love to join in, but I'll need to get some RSGP to play with first (it's all bound up in ores and bars at the moment). What size pots would we be looking at?

    EDIT: Also important to know, what kind of poker? Hold 'Em, Five Card Draw, or something else?

    NKN

    2012-07-16 22:43:50

    Hold 'em, any size pots.

    YoHoJo

    2012-07-16 23:12:51

    Played with NKN and Narcle!
    I won that. (500K buy in)
    (I took 500k From narcle, and let NKN slide cuz I'm nice)

    Then played with NKN.
    He won that, 500K buy in.
    I said I'll just give you the 500k I should have from last time :p, he said ok.

    Fun Fun, we need bigger games though! And bigger pots!

    You can't count cards in Texas Hold 'Em, silly

    Main

    2012-07-17 10:54:02

    I mean predict your chances based on your car and the cards on the table.

    Wouldn't ventrilo work well for this sort of thing?

    Kave

    2012-08-08 11:54:23

    Is there a way the poker club could have a 'runescape banker' so that we can exchange gp to tokens and vice versa? So that way we could play whenever and cash out whenever 'banker' is online.

    i.e. 1k tokens = 1m

    I purchase 10k tokens for 10m play a couple of rounds vs 3-4 members–> profit 3k tokens –> call it quits. Ask 'banker' to let me cash in profits next day. Or does the club administrator not have ability to do this?

    Have only played pokerstars cash games so I don't really know if it's possible.

    NKN

    2012-08-08 12:11:14

    Can't do that, Kave.
    :(
