from what we have seen, that's only if the house is making any money from the game. this is a friendly game and so should be safe under the law. see: http://www.pokerpages.com/articles/homepoker/augustine01.htm

Always good to see more poker being played. If anybody's looking for a game in SF, give me a holler.
Can we have a poker bot competition? I'm not a great poker player myself (in fact, I don't really even know the rules) -- but I think it'd be another cool way to socialize; especially if people are required to release the source later, and we can all chat about what worked / didn't work, etc ...
This is much, much harder than you think :)
I didn't say the bots had to play well ... if at the end of every competition, everyone rises up to the level of the winner, then I think the bots would also improve drastically :-)
You will be sorry when you start tossing your shares into the pot.
Now, THAT I'd go to. We should do that in Berlin too...anybody?
I thought home poker wasn't legal in California. I could be wrong, though, and IANAL.
We looked into it, and we'll take a look again, but as long as we don't profit from it via rakes and the like, it's legal.
Absolutely love this idea.....what a great opportunity for a mental release and brainsharing with like-minds.
