Someone just needs to make a date for this tournament... I grow tired of waiting.

I'm down for whatever... just tell me the date and time of the tourney... mike, JAKKMOVE, and myself usually have lots of fun just playing at random tables... but it'd be even more fun to have others from the [VGF] forums playing at the table.

Someone set a date for a tournament. I will be there!

I just read this on IGN's website:

"November 28, 2006 - It's been a long time in the making, but Texas Hold 'em is finally getting an upgrade. Xbox Live guru Major Nelson revealed a slew of fixes to improve Hold 'em. The automated update will occur early Wednesday.

Among the major improvements are sped-up gameplay, an "Away" mode that automatically folds all hands until the player returns, blinds restructured to match the stakes, new Leaderboard displays and removal of online exploits to prevent cheating.

The upgrade does not include Vision Camera support, which instead will come early next year."

Are you sure you can pull yourself away from playing Viva Pinata, mike?

I can't promise, but I'll try.

Here is the update for Texas Hold' em

Game-play has been sped up.
Post the blind and play right away! – Players can now, if they wish, start playing immediately when joining a table by posting the big blind, rather than having to wait for the blind to come to them.
New ‘Away’ mode – Players can now set their status to ‘Away’. Hands will be auto-folded and blinds auto-posted until the player returns.
New ‘Auto-boot’ mode – Players who continuously let the timer expire (more than three times in a game) will be booted from the table
Faster overall pacing – Timers and messaging durations have been adjusted to speed up game-play among experienced players, but still allow novice players plenty of time to play.
Improved blind structure – Initial blinds, as well as blind increases, are now more proportional to table stakes, ensuring more meaningful increases during game-play.
Matchmaking improvements – Players are no longer matched into games they cannot afford
Improved interface controls – Improvements to controls, such as increasing/decreasing stake amounts
Leaderboard display – A player’s full winnings and rank are now properly displayed
Art and text improvements – Game art and spelling issues have been addressed
Online exploits addressed – Certain known exploits that enabled cheating have been addressed. As a result, the online multi-player leaderboards will be reset to eliminate inflated scores as a result of these exploits.
