Any Poker players out there? I'm putting together a monthly poker event for founders only. We play on Cloud Poker Night + already have a great group put together. I like this because anyone can join from around the world; We play for pride (no real gambling) - It's more like a founders league - To get awesome founders together to meet more like-minded people. Games last roughly an hour per event + newbies are certainly welcome. We take the social aspect more seriously than the poker itself. If you'd like to join us, we have a few spots left. If the interest is there, I'm sure we can do another league for YC founders only.

I’d be down for this/have wanted something like this for remote friend groups like founders, but how does it work exactly? How is it different than most online poker events?

  Great question! I noticed there's a huge interest to play poker within founder communities. But online poker strips out all the best social elements of a solid in-person game. And getting a large group of people together for an in-person game is extremely time consuming to setup / limited to people within your geo. So we decided to build the most high-end way to setup a private games with the people that matter most to you. 1. High-end: We use real dealers + real cards to power your game. 2. Highly Social: Completely changed the traditional online poker UI to support conversations. You can jump from table-to-table, have 1:1 convos with others, integrated music, etc. 3. League format: We setup private leagues for groups to have that social excuse to get together more regularly. As I've gotten older, it's harder and harder to get a big group together in one place. This makes it easy + access the people that matter most to you from the comfort of your home. It's been really fun to build, would love to get feedback from the YC community!
