Ipod shuffle poker challenge - IPSPC

The time has come for the next group weekend PC, the IPSPC to be specific.

-PC Details
Start Date: 1/22/2005
Duration: 48 hours
Goal: $100
Prize: iPod Shuffle, and the fame that goes with claiming a poker challenge victory.


I'd be down to kick this bad boy off by having everyone over to my place for some BBQ, and good times with our laptops around the poker table. I'll have my satellite TV installed by then too, so you sports fans can watch any matches that happen to be on.

Post comments on if you're in.

conspiracy comedy

yo,

props to garber again for doing some poker research and coming out gold. here's a forum thread from poker-king.com where people are CONVINCED that there are robot players that know the outcome of the hands on party poker. their examples of how and why they are cheating robots is pure comedy.

Comedy

I can't decide if the one by rasjax (once i asked if he was a real player he left) or billythekid (he flopped a straight on me with 7-10 off-suit when i played 8-6 off-suit) is my favorite.

the unknown origins of the poker challenge

big ups to my man garber for pointing me to this site creating circa 1996:

http://www.tiltboys.com

it is some pretty incomprehensible reading for your average internet browser, but members of the poker challenge board will love it. honestly, you MUST READ this one: http://www.tiltboys.com/trip-reports/six-sigmas-out/. and if you can't stomach the whole thing, at least read the section with the heading "Statistical Deviants". I can only hope to one day make a blog post as interesting/hilarious as this one.
