Correct, the player gets 2 cards, there are 5 shared cards.

Post by: Boxman on July 02, 2009, 05:19:39 PM: Yeah, but period poker would be a nice atmospheric twist.

Plus we'd see who knows another form of poker.

Everyone and their brother plays hold'em.

Which is probably why it would be the best form of poker to go with.

Hilarious. I've never seen ALL the arenas full. Just go to another for a little while...you might even have fun until "The" arena has some room. Who knows, you might even stay for the evening.

A superb idea also, just looking for something that the guys with heaps of perkies could do with them.

Post by: Delirium on July 02, 2009, 11:16:01 PM: You can almost hear the whines now...

"You fold every time you don't have a super hand."

"You are using a card counting program! Hack!"

"You are filling the tables with shades, just so you can strip the dealer of chips."

And so on, and so on...

(it does sound like a good idea, jokes aside)

Post by: Larry on July 02, 2009, 11:23:41 PM: How about just make it so you can sell perks on Ebay. 1000 fighter perks for $25 anyone?

Post by: 1DOGFITE on July 06, 2009, 03:36:55 PM: What you would get would be an Aces High II POKER ARENA......Kinda takes away from the game dont ya think?
Title: Re: poker in the lobby
Post by: moot on July 06, 2009, 05:04:44 PM: The only problem is enabling an economy (perks sold over e.g. ebay) with this. Otherwise if you keep the games simple enough that it doesnt draw players away from the arenas, it should be an improvement. Maybe have the lobby also have something like very basic views of ACM playing on the briefing screen.

Post by: mechanic on July 06, 2009, 05:09:06 PM: If we are being serious about it I would say Hitech must not want any way of perks exchanging hands from account to account. Just because we have asked for perk gambling ideas quite a few times and not got any so far. It's probably a good idea also, not to let people have any easier ways to rackup perks. On the other hand, maybe it would reduce the vulching and timid flying in teh arena? Ok, I'm not helping at all, pretend i didnt post.
