While at Defcon 12 I discovered that several of the attendees had a passion for poker specifically No Limit Hold Em. I have played around with this idea for some time thinking it might be feasible. My set up would go like this: By in for 10 bucks which will get you unlimited drinks and snacks while playing, with the winner of the tournament winning the prize of the by ins. My main dilemma with this is that with AP going Casino will this pose any problems with the AP management and specifically Nevada gaming laws because technically speaking there is no gambling going on, the purse being awarded to the overall winner. A goon who I talked to at Defcon who worked with gambling in California seemed quite knowledgeable on the subject and I thought it might work. Any comments?

Did Everquest teach you that? -
The AP will be a gambling hotel by the time we are there again. I like the idea, but remember that some of the folks need to save up in advance for a freakin' t-shirt from Defcon. They are in no rush to gamble. -
Is it blackbeetle that I need to e-mail my idea to if I wanted to add a Defcon Poker Con banner to the event to cover any legal issues with using the Defcon Logo? Yeah I agree that money for tee shirts and swag comes first so I was toying with the idea of having it Sunday night that way it does not interfere with Forum Meet, B and W Ball, Toxic BBq Ect.... I also though of adding the Defcon Card Deck that I bought from Jinx (which they only had 35 left when I ordered) as part of the prize.Originally posted by astcellDid Everquest teach you that?Comment

Has anyone ever riden a motorcycle in a poker run? You ride to a few pre determined locations, draw a card at each stop, after the fifth card and final stop, best hand wins a percentage of the pot.
A poker run, Defcon sytle could be interesting.....
Replace the bike with a laptop and wireless card, and instead of riding to a distant location to draw a card, one would need to perform some type of task on their laptop before drawing the card.
Just a thought...Comment

i see that we aren't talking about pokercon anymore, but some of my friends just put together a poker tournament of 90 people and here were some helpful resources they used.

Another thing is, does anybody have alot of poker chips that they could use for it.Comment

Problem with conventional poker chips is they are tokens for something with more value. It is Vegas, after all, and considering the success of the savenger hunts of past, finding similar poker chips would be easy.Originally posted by Zilo
Even special-made chips for the con are at risk for counterfeiting.
If the AP will have a casino by DC13, and DC13 is there, they may be willing to provide chips and have the security to deal with counterfeiting.Comment

In a typical tournament, the chips are made specially for the event (http://www.pokerchips.com/advertising/advertising.html). They are provided at buy-in and when the day's playing is over, the tournament organizers take your chips and keep them safe. The next day they give you your chips back (providing you're still in the play). You don't remove the chips from the table--ever.Originally posted by TheCotMan

Don't get me wrong, I think it would be cool to have chip specially made for pokercon but what ever happened to the day's of put up or shut up? If you got cash, put it on the table, You got a nice watch, put it on the table, rings, key's to the car or house, Whatever, just put it on the table. If we need to get something going for pokercon as far as getting chips lets work on it together or something.If there is a Church of WiFi, then this is it's !Comment
