From the crazy entrepreneurs that brought you the HN/YC BBQ last month:

We like to promote the exchange of ideas, contacts, and knowledge. Poker's just a bonus. :)

Did you mean Wed 5/20?
Mystalic
Yes, but I'm just that tired right now. :)

How come you switched to using eventbrite instead of anyvite like last time?

I thought home poker wasn't legal in California. I could be wrong, though, and IANAL.
Mystalic
We looked into it, and we'll take a look again, but as long as we don't profit from it via rakes and the like, it's legal.

Absolutely love this idea.....what a great opportunity for a mental release and brainsharing with like-minds.

This is why I begin driving from NY to SV to permanantly relocate in 4 days!!!

Always good to see more poker being played. If anybody's looking for a game in SF, give me a holler.

Now, THAT I'd go to. We should do that in Berlin too...anybody?

Can we have a poker bot competition? I'm not a great poker player myself (in fact, I don't really even know the rules) -- but I think it'd be another cool way to socialize; especially if people are required to release the source later, and we can all chat about what worked / didn't work, etc ...

This is much, much harder than you think :)

I didn't say the bots had to play well ... if at the end of every competition, everyone rises up to the level of the winner, then I think the bots would also improve drastically :-)

oooh, interesting. I don't know anyone but I might just go! ^^

You will be sorry when you start tossing your shares into the pot.
