I'm looking for some players of various skill levels to join us in a study game that will be followed by a study session on another day. I would like to keep the games to 1 table to ease any confusion with the live chat during the study session but will take many players in and can make extra games for everyone to have a shot at this.

The games will be played on pokerstars at my home club.
Joker's Dungeon
ID# 277553
PW= play2win

The study sessions will be on Teamviewer. If you do not have this a free version can be downloaded going to the Teamviewer.com site.

I'm asking that people who intend to join have their settings in the options menu on pokerstars set to save hand histories to their hard drive so that they can be sent to me 1st before the study session. I will be attempting to manually input everyone's hole cards into one hand history so they will all show during playback. If instructions are needed just post here and i will add that in.

I am also asking that players who are joining to post here or on the club's wall the times they can play and/or have a session so that I can try to set up a convenient time for everyone.

Overall, This is a friendly game and we ask to check egos at the door and be respectful of each other.

Have fun and enjoy

Almost forgot, this thread was Dakota approved. :)


It doesn't meet the requirements for home games - but I am okay with it. Just post in your thread that I said it was okay to include your home game information.

These games will only be for play chips for I'm in the US as well.

Been really slow getting my club members who are already there to get involved (only 3 so far have shown interest) but will keep trying.

Make sure to check the club lobby for more contact info of where and how you can meet the other members to get acquainted as we wait for enough players.

Thanks to the CardsChat members who have joined so far and I hope this starts soon for I believe there is a lot we can learn from each other.

If any American who is starting a Pokerstars account finds that the .net version doesn't allow home clubs (not sure if they do myself) send me a PM here and I can help you attain the .com version with full features. (except cash play of course)

Been trying to find the best time so to make this a regular game that everyone knows when every week. With members from as far west as California and far east as the netherlands it can be a bit difficult.

Another hindrance is lately I've been working 6 days a week with Sunday being my 1 day off and this Sunday is my wife's birthday.

So, with that in mind this weekend we will have two games.
Saturday at 7:30pm EST and Sunday at 11:15am EST

Once we have a regular time and group of participants we will try to have a study session following the game.

Like to remind people that you can leave messages on the wall of the club lobby as well as find other info pertaining to the group and that I can be found at the ring table most nights (EST).

This just didn't take off due to lack of support from my existing members and the CC members who joined so the games have been suspended for a while now already.

A new surge of players who want to accomplish this are playing at my main home club with yesterday having two games. Hopefully we will be trying to get this to work soon as I still believe it has potential.

I apologize for the lack of activity and we can still be found on Sundays at our main club ID#12468 PW 04161973.

This sounds like a really good idea. Like a study group at my uni. Hopefully when I have got the grasped of the game a bit more I can join. Is it just cash games as opposed to STTs? I know it's play money

As I posted above things are moving slow here but they are slowly picking up at my original home club. Soon we should be able to get this going finally as we have started playing games again in the second club I mentioned here. Most of those are a weekly Sunday game but in this club everyone is an admin and is able to create tourneys and tables.

I think one of the biggest hindrances is life in general. Work and family will always come first and I don't think I considered how hard it would be for everyone to gather at the same time or to get enough players so that wouldn't matter.

I wouldn't use lack of skill as an excuse though, we have players of all types and skill sets and welcome everyone.


I set up a trial game to see if we can get enough players for Sunday the 20th at 12:20 EST hope you can make it.

Well I am definitely more than happy to play, but unfortuantely I work most Sundays and won't be home to at least 1400 EST. This isn't set in stone as I can sometimes swop Sundays for Wednesdays afternoons depending on what my uni schedule is like.
Out of interest what is the game format?

Sunday is the only day I am always off from work but the times are not set in stone yet. When choosing a time for an event I try to consider all members which stretch from the west coast to holland and australia. So when 9am in california is 7pm in holland. So as in this case if player from UK and further don't show interest I will shift the time so players in california and oregon can wake up some before playing.

Most games I make are deepstack turbos since I don't like small blinds.


The game for the 20th
buy-in 500+30 play chips
Starting stack is 5000
regular format / 5 minute blinds

ok cheers for the answer. Yes i can see how it can be a bit of a nightmare trying to fit everyone in. To be on the safe side. For the game on the 20th you better count me out. I will get my rotas at the weekend for work and check my Uni schedule when I go back on the 14th.

Hello and my best wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2013.
I would like to join this team work and I can participate to the Sunday games.
My location is in Europe/Greece.
However, having read the topic, I am a little confused about which is the home club to join....
ID# 277553, password= play2win or ID#12468 password 04161973 ?
Great team job.... keep good.

Hello and my best wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2013.

ID# 277553, password= play2win or ID#12468 password 04161973 ?

To be honest at the moment it would be best to join both, I'll explain.

The Joker's Wild was my 1st home club started with a friend. We set out to find people we felt would be good company and held a decent amount of poker ability. The club grew quite well with a full ring just for conversations with people on the rail cause of no seats left.
Then Black Friday hit and most of us were American. This caused us to thin out and be there less because, like myself, we were joining many other sites to continue playing for cash.
During the height of our activity we were allowing anyone to enter, much as we do today but back then we got a lot of "rigtards" and plain mean people who wouldn't try to understand better plays or why someone would take a risk with a play chip game.
So I created The Joker's Dungeon. This was a place for just us original 16 members to get away from the more annoying people and discuss the direction we were going with, what I call "our" club.

After Back Friday attendance dropped slowly till both clubs became empty so I started to look for ways to get more members by using the Dungeon as my guinea pig. It didn't work so the club went dormant again still. After a while I was able to get new members into our original club and it was then I decided that it would truly be everyone's club. I now make every member an administrator when they join. Since everyone is an admin. I felt for this idea of a "study group" it would be best in the second club so that I can control what games are set up and suspend members who are not participating in the group while retaining their membership in case they wanted to join later.

This has been slow going as most of my members are just not there for one reason or another. Further "new life" in my original club though has produced some new activity as far as ring games and tourneys and some of these players have expressed a desire to go forward with the "study group" but we will see come the 20th.

In the meantime we are still playing at The Joker's Wild and if playing is more important till this takes off then joining this club would be good as well.

I am happy to say that this Saturday we will be celebrating the club turning 2 years old with a special tourney of 5k buy-in, 20k starting stacks, and 5 minute blinds. All members old and new are welcomed to join in as always.


So for now, If you are looking for players and games till the study session fully takes off it might be best to join both homeclubs.

The Joker's Wild / 12468 - 04161973
Joker's Dungeon / 277553 - play2win


Apologize for being long winded but at least I broke up the wall of text some.
