Skype Video Poker Thread

[Makwa]

Hi chatters,

I just got the premium package at skype which allows for up to 9 videos. Thats as close to live poker as we can get online these days.

So I will host a game, if any interest, at my PS Home Game, details to follow.

So that would be full ring HE or Omaha, micro, all of us able to talk and see each other on skype.

Sound like fun?? :call::call::call::call::call::call::call::call::call:

Maybe 6 max would be easier...

So basically everyone joins the skype chat and the homegame at the same time?
I kinda like that idea. it can get the live feel, but I know skype lags some with just 2. would kinda suck if the 9 people makes it lag so much that the stream is 2 or 3 hands back.
I'd be curious to see how it turns out, and maybe suggest it to my home game guys.

That does sound like fun!
Have you seen the new 'video tables' on 888Poker?

I'm willing to try it with skype. I'll play just about any type of poker they offer on stars.

I'm up for it. What time zone are you, and what time do you usually play?
I'd prefer to play PLO but also join in Hold em too if there was more than 6 people.

First please read the thread. We are discussing times.

I will probably start one or two weekly sessions once we get more players enrolled and we know where they r from...
