Your character does not participate in the rounds that he or she is the dealer (since you would know the cards of your opponents).<br><br>If you have a suit of cards at hand, you can of course use that suit (make sure it has 52 cards, not 32. If it has 54 or 55 cards, remove the jokers/wild cards. Perform the following steps without shuffling in between:<br>Draw three cards and write them privately down as the flop.<br>Draw one additional card, and write it privately down as the turn.<br>Draw one additional card, and write it privately down as the river.<br>For each player other than yourself, draw two additional cards. Write these down as well, so you can check on them if needed (for example, the player accidentally deletes his PM), and then send a forum PM to the player, stating what cards his or her character received.<br>Make an IC post describing your character shuffling the deck and deal each player two cards.<br>When it is time for the flop, turn or river, make an IC post, describing your character revealing those cards. Make sure it's clear to the players which cards these involve.<br><br>If you do not have a suit of cards at hand, random.org is your friend:<br>Visit http://www.random.org/playing-cards/ (http://www.random.org/playing-cards/)<br>On the first entry box, increase the number of cards to draw. To keep it simple, simply enter 52 in the entry box.<br>Keep the number of shuffled decks to 1.<br>Keep all options under Deck Configuration enabled, except for the two joker options, which must remain disabled.<br>If you want, you can enable "Show cards as text instead of images". It makes it easier to copy-paste the results if you want to store the information as a local document on your computer.<br>Finally, press Draw Cards. You should receive a list of 52 cards.<br>Follow the steps above, only instead of drawing an actual card, read the next card from the list.<br>Always show 52 cards at the same time and draw all cards from that one list, instead of requesting only a few cards at a time, to prevent a single card ending up in more than a single player's hand.<br><br>Be sure to save the cards for the flop, turn and river as you determine the initial cards. If you would determine them later, you need to make sure they're not identical to cards already owned by players.<br>If burning cards is something you care strongly about, you can of course change the order as well as skip cards as you decide which card goes to whom, as long as you make up your mind before you actually see the cards. Your character is of course expected to "burn the cards" regardless of you burning the cards or not.<br><br><hr><div align="center"><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><em>Characters</em></span></span></div><hr>

				Thanks to Mrsjaz for her update.<br><br>I've sent Crazy Ivan a PM this morning, asking him if he had any estimate for his character. Apparently, he was online this afternoon, but I have not had a reaction from him.<br><br>I prefer to get the game rolling, so off we go.<br><br>The poker room is in the back of the casino. If you see the need to describe anything else in the casino for whatever reason, you're free to make up what is not already specified.<br><br>Everyone can describe their character entering the poker room. Assume the characters arrive in the order that the players post, so the characters of the players that posted before you are already present when you arrive. Players can of course make additional posts as they socialize and sort out the order of play and table positions. Feel free to take a bit of time for this. I've given players that are currently busy permission to hold off on entering for a few days real time, which will be resembled by their character entering the room in the nick of time.<br><br>Order of play, as mentioned in the IC thread, will be sorted by the cards on the table. I've made a list of 2 to King, and placed them in a random order. George will ask everyone to flip one card. When your character flips a card, please indicate which card he or she flips position wise (leftmost, third from the right, etc...), but do not determine the value of the card. The position you pick will determine the value of your card (from my list), and thus your position in the order of play.

				What posting frequency do people have in mind?<br><br>I'm not expecting everyone to check in every day, but if it's your turn to act in the poker game, I think a reaction within 72 hours is not too much asked, unless it's weekend/vacation. A small post should suffice, so if you're not in a writing spirit, a small line stating that your character folds/calls/raises should be enough.<br><br>It's a different case when it's time to roleplay out a scene. For example, when your character has to think of a dare, has to strip or is involved in a dare. I could imagine you want to take some time and it could just be a few hectic days and/or other threads demanding attention as well, so it could take a little longer to find time for a quality post.<br><br>Does that train of thought make sense? Or do people have other suggestions?

				Yeah, unless you're willing to go in blind. :P<br><br>You could describe your character getting to her seat if you wanted.<br><br>I also changed the 2nd post in this thread, which contains a list of all players in order of play, with their chips, clothes and dares at the start of each round. I will not update this during a round, so you can see what everyone was at at the start of the round. I'll post a small list in the IC thread in my most recent post, and remove it again each time it's not my most recent post.<br><br>While I described 1 and 5 point chips (and will describe chips with a higher value at a later time), I'm not keeping track how many chips of each every player has, just the total chips. You're free to use either as the game processes, as long as the total amount of chips you bid is clear.
