What about poker?

That would be wonderful..

 

Just imagine Niko getting a bad hand, after folding he stands up, points his desert eagle at the dealers face and POPS!!  biggrin.gif

LOL - that was my first thought smile.gif.....

 

Niko: "I Call, 3 Aces"

Gansta: "Full house on the river"

Niko: *Stands up* BAM! *takes pot and walks out*

Haven't we seen in games like the official WSOP game that poker

in video games just doesn't work?

Poker is not just a card game. It is a people game played with cards.

It just doesn't translate well when you:

 

1. Take away the pressure of real money being won and lost

2. Take away the human element.

 

If you want to play "Texas Holdem", go play it.

Poker just doesn't translate well into video games.

 

Plus if anything I see Niko as being more of a stud/ 2-7 no limit triple draw player myself.

I'd have thought that being how big poker is right now that it would be in the game. Maybe it's a secret or surprise like they tried to do with what was in the comedy clubs. Pool sounds good (I liked it in SA) but the darts and bowling don't look like much fun.

 

But who knows, when we play them they might be pretty good.

 

EDIT: Actually isn't gambling illegal in New York???? If LC is based on NY it would make sense to not have poker. Then again, Niko's a hard core gangster, so surely there could be a back room game somewhere. Or maybe in the Majestic.

I am a dick? How?

You play poker every night? OK thats cool. So do I.

I also play live poker, and online.

 

Also, I am actually a professional poker player. Why do you say that I "fancy" myself a pro?

Also, how am I a fa**ot?

 

I don't understand how you came to the conclusion that you needed to start attacking me.

cuz i dont like the way u starting stating you was a pro player and it cant work in a video game and then offering me to a game

 

i felt like you were belittling me and trying to make yourself sound like you were better than everyone just because u play a bit of poker

 

and what makes u proffesional? the fact that u dont have a job and u just play poker?

 

gus hansen, phil laak, greg raymer are people i consider to be proffesionals...

 

what is your name?

 

we play back room cash games, casino tournaments, card room cash games

 

for fun, online, 5 card draws on dinner time anytime any place

 

that includes in GTA 4 if possible

 

im a true poker player

 

not a proffesional

... PLAYER

OK. To start off I will define the word "profession":

 

"following an occupation as a means of livelihood or for gain"

 

I am a professional player as I play poker as my primary source of income.

You do not have to be famous to be considered a professional player.

There are plenty of players who have never been on the television who make their living

playing poker.

 

"cuz i dont like the way u starting stating you was a pro player and it cant work in a video game and then offering me to a game"

 

What was I supposed to say? That I am a pool cleaner? I am a lawyer? I say I am a

professional poker player because that is what I am.

I offered you a match. So what? Man up. Friendly competition is nothing to be afraid of.

 

"i felt like you were belittling me and trying to make yourself sound like you were better than everyone just because u play a bit of poker"

 

If you cannot stand a little bit of needling, maybe the poker table isn't the place for you.

And if you got all that from what I posted, then there is nothing more I can say.

 

I would also like to point out that Phil Laak, Antionio Esfandiari, Gus Hansen, Doyle Brunson, Erick Lindren, and my friend Daniel Negreanu were ALL considered, and considered themselves to be professional players before the age of poker on TV. Doyle was a pro for decades (40-50 years) before the tv cameras rolled out.

sorry poker pro

 

dont lose your house wife and kids over it.

 

its just a game

Hmmm. Don't you play poker? Therefore, shouldn't you know

that people don't actually lose their wife and kids over the game?

That is movies pal. Poker these days is a lot more widley accepted.

lol donkaments.

 

@ Raindancer:

 

I was on topic. I stated my reasons for why I believe poker wouldn't make a good mini game.

I was flamed, and I believe that I have calmly and fairly defended myself.

This thread should have been aborted sometime in the first-trimester, I am all for a third-trimester abortion however. Let the abortion begin.

 

Smokio, I hate to break it to you but, you made yourself look like an idiot. I have no idea where you got all of that from but I am fairly sure it is all wrong. You are taking everything out of context. Poker isn't fun when there isn't real money or real people. I don't care how good the AI is.

ummm...*gently nudging back on track*....I'd like to see some poker in the game, would be a fun way to get a little extra money for whatever you need.

 

Furthermore, arguing on the internet is completely, utterly, pointless. No one EVER will concede any point! Just keep yelling at each other... (I know saying that line makes me a bit hypocritical because I am responding ot the argument, but still...).

 

Yes though, I'd love it if we could play all sorts of gambling, a casino in game would be great. (just imagine the gun fights!)

Well there you go again. Your reading comprehension skills aren't very good. I was remarking about your argument with fishermanGTA.
