I created something huge

[Talking Poker]

All you've done now is confuse me more.... but I look forward to reading about your game when you decide to share it with us.

As soon as i hear back from the site with an answer, ill be more than happy to share it with you, get some feedback e.t.c

I wonder if it deals with multiple flops...

And in answer to your question, I would go with rake %. Come on ... you might get a few grand for an idea (or possibly even tens of thousands if it's good), but if it does take off, you stand to make a lot more over the long haul with a rake option.

^^ Exactly.

And, I hope you got them to sign a confidentiality agreement (with a non-compete clause) before divulging your idea.

Ive got it patented, so i dont need to.

Im getting a signed thing from them after our chat.

And no, it isnt multiple flops, id hate to try and design that idea.

Ill tell you all here when i get some news back from the "site".




Edit - and about the rake thing. Say they play 1 table fo it, and this is not gonna happen, it will be alot more, but even if its one table, 80 H/ph, $3 rake p/h, i get say 5%. 5% or $3 = $0.15, 0.15 x 80 = $9. plus $2.50 per game that goes, so $11.50 an hour per table if i get 5%, and thats worst case.

I wont need to work if we have 1 table of it, ill be rich if they have 100 like a normal ring game. jesus

Where did you get it patented? I certainly hope it's in the same jurisdiction as the registered office of the company with whom you've been having these discussions.

I'm no big city lawyer, but I'd also be quite surprised if people were actually able to patent ideas about how to play card games. I mean, that just doesn't make much sense to me.... But maybe it's because I don't understand this idea, since we still don't know what it is.

Hypothetically, say I came up with the idea that every time you found a 2 in your hand, you could post another BB and get a third card. I mean, can I patent that idea and then charge people to use it? I don't think so.

Better yet.... Royal Hold'Em (or whatever it's called on UB). Did someone patent that game? Does that mean I'm not allowed to play it in my house or Party can't set up their own version of it? I highly, highly doubt it.

What I'm really interested in in seeing what site you are dealing with, as most ignore the thousands of variations of poker games that are out there and only focus on the popular versions.
