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?

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...

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

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.

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 !
