I’ve been playing Texas Hold’em on Saturday nights with a discord group of internet friends the past month.

Hosting a weekly friends online game on poker now

This is me inviting myself to your game.
Haha. PM me your contact info and bring one friend who has lots of money and is terrible.

I mean I run the game through pokernow and know everyone in the game personally.  A couple conspiracy minded people have quit after getting rivered, but it has a legit random number generator probably better than some half drunk idiot shuffling at your home game and probably as good as a casino auto shuffler. 

The biggest problems with online for me are the outrageous fees charged for deposits and withdrawls on the off shore sites and the rake.  I agree the HUDs and bots make it difficult to win as well at low stakes, so I decided to run a game myself with no rake.

My concern is hand sharing via text and conspirators driving pots.

Yeah the setup works well, I have people venmo me and we use the free online site.   We have a zoom.  Not everyone joins, so if someone is not on the zoom and if it is a big pot occasionally the person will share what they have and we will sweat, but no one is colluding I feel very confident about that as I know all the people.  I would be pretty upset if people were sharing hands.

a few very annoying among us developments:

1) people using the emergency meeting thing to troll, especially at the beginning

2) people teaming up to murder everyone

3) people texting their friends who killed them to cheat

also, it feels like I never get to be impostor and I checked my starts and I was slightly below what it should be but about right.

I've enjoyed watch dog legion despite the bugs.  I would recommend for black friday purchase assuming they'll have the bugs fixed and you get a discount.

I sold mine $300 profit.  Never even opened the box.  Let us know if it's worth the upgrade.

Be playing COD CW all night tonight

Also just got a free Stadia thing from Google.  Anybody know if anything is any good on that?

I had a friend super pumped when Stadia came out and preordered.  He hated it once it arrived.  I wouldn't have high hopes.
