Texas Hold'em for VB 3.5.x (if your interested post within)

[rurbaniak]

Ok, I've been researching the heck out of getting quotes for having a integrated Texas Hold'em game for Vbulletin. Not real gambling for $$, but one that uses Ucash or Ebux, or it's own points system.

Let me say that it's not cheap. But with enough interest from other Vbulletin owners, this can happen.

My findings are that this will cost between $3000 - $5000 from some reputable companies. This wouldn't be a rinky dinky game, should be pretty kick butt.

Anyways, this type of MOD definately would bring people back to you site that are into Texas Hold'em, atleast I know my site would be winner from it.

That being said, here's my thought.

If you are interested in this mod, and would like to contribute $$ to it, let's hear it here.

Let's say it costs $4k to have this done, and we have 20 Vbulletin owners that are interested, that's $200 a person. Not bad for a professional integrated VBulletin MOD.

Also, if several of the Vbulletin owners wish to Sponsor the MOD, and get their links, and logo's put on it, and pay a little more to alleviate the cost for others, this would be a great opportunity for that.

Everyone who contributes, gets a say on features, and so forth.

Right now, I have a company out of NY, that said they'd probably be able to knock this out in 30 days, and costing $3000 for a months of work. They are very professional, and they show you the work as it's done, and have daily progress notes, so that you can see how it's going from day to day.

So post your interest here, and lets see how many people are willing to contribute. If enough interest is shown here, I may front the bill, and re-sell it to the ones that show interest here. I don't wish to keep re-selling this. This will be a ONE TIME ONLY offer, after we do this if someone wants a copy, they'll have to get their own developer.

So are you interested?

[Stangsta]

Yes, we want it. But I doubt anyone will give you any money. Thats an open invite for a scam. If you can pull it off, Kudos.

Provided the bolded part is agreed upon throughout the thread, I am in for $200.

[bfd21]

i am in

[yinyang]

what i think you should do is gauge how many people want it. then advance the cost and make sure the script is good and make sure you own copyright of the script. then start a website called VBPoker and sell the script.

you will make bank and people will be assured that the script is of production quality, they can test it and you can make extra income on your vbpoker site.

[Major Miner II]

We are extremely interested in this module. Will this be a flash piece? I need more details about the execution of the concept before I tell you we're fully in.

I think it'll be a mix of Java/Flash as others use. That I can't verify at this moment. If the interest is great enough, then I'll start back talks with the Coders, and then I'll be able to give more details.

[Frank Butcher]

Am quite interested

[mikeshaver]

Interested

[mathias]

Count me in...

[Tralala]

Interested.

[top end ms]

I think it can be done farely easily. in a nutshell Just set Score = eBux before games ... and and eBux = Score at the end ? ..

[darkilla2]

so how much would i have too contribute???

Just making sure I quote you on this for future ref.
This does sound intresting, but I am not into fools gold or magic elixir.
If you do pull an internet scam and are living in USA-CAN-UK-EU-AUS-JAP good luck trying to get away from being prosecuted.

If this is ligitamate, then why not create it on your own and then introduce it. If you get a member to buy in ahead without you actually seeing this in even a demo or have an outline of what function and abilities, then to bad for you. You would need testers that you can trust with that product and coders if you are unable to complete this project.

Why ask us for money when you can apply for a loan at a bank?

Are you a coder by chance?

You better learn that there is scammers in every corner trying to take a sucker.
You must be the one that was referred to as beening born in that minute :D

[wolfyman]

Well, I was born on a Wednesday.. but not last Wednesday. ;)


He stated he would be willing to put up the money himself beforehand, though... so I think you were a bit out of line with your comment. But hey! No hard feelings, I laughed my tail off at my own wit and I hope you did too. Carry on with the serious replys for the Texas Hold'Em, gentlemen - I'd love to see this come through. :D

[guvner]

I'm interested, but strictly on the condition that it remains as described "a one off offer". This would require a mechanism to prevent someone who buys in at the start and then attempts to recover their $200 expense by selling off 20 copies @ $10 (or worse) - that's where a problem could emerge.

I'd also suggest that if a group is formed, it seeks out a senior member of this site who would be prepared to use his Paypal account as an escrow account and for their trouble they receive a copy of the script for free.

That should help eliminate concerns about it being a scam.

Mike :)

[wolfyman]

Great post, Mike - on all counts.

If this is done in Flash, would it not be possible to encode something into it that will only allow it to work on certain domains?

If this is possible, how about we all submit the domains we plan on using this on?

Also, an NDA with the programmer is a MUST - there's no point in all of us forming a coalition only to find our work was for naught when the programmer starts selling it. I say we all sign an NDA or something legally binding of that nature.

you'll need more than an NDA. you'll need a triple threat... NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement to those not-in-the-know), an NCA (Non-Compete Agreement) and a NIA (Non-Interference Agreement.)

I professionaly use one agreement that covers all three just in case.

Can I have your bud light if I tell you I love you?

[evesve]

Interested!

[MorrisMcD]

Interested and if its a done with quality, you can expect $$$$ from me

[Romeos Tune]

Same here. Can't be cheesy and needs good graphics. Whatever you do, if you get started on this don't forget to ask everyone what features it should have.

[Nzo]

Is tournament feature possible ? (Not only ring games)
It would be great also to have a simple real money system (paypal) to let specific usergroups play with real money.
The script should be exclusive. (Only 20 Users & no re-sell)

If it's possible I'm in for 200 $ ;)

[Carl Anderson]

I'm Interested also...

[cloyal]

I know my posters have asked about this as well. A huge intrest from my board.

[rurbaniak]

I fully understand people's issue with putting out money without a product, and not trusting some random guy on the internet such as me. No problem. That's why I did suggest that If there was enough interest, I would front the money to get this.

The reason I don't purchase this, and re-sell this as my own to every one who wants it is simple. I'd need to support it, and I can't. If someone purchases it, and installs it and it doesn't work, what do I do now?

With a limited number of installs, we'll be able to make sure that the developer knows that it needs to be working on X amount of VB installs, and make sure that happens.

Monday, I will give the developer a call, and have him get me a mock up of the graphics. I agree I don't want some cheesy looking game, so if they want my business they'll need to get me that.

[wolfyman]

I'd really like for you to ask the programmer if it is possible to hardcode the urls it will work on into the flash portion of the game. I'm sure it's possible.

Oh, and should the that be caccomplished and the number of urls hardcoded into the project be dropped to less than 20 - I'm in for more than my initial $200.

The more exclusive this is, the better.

[Romeos Tune]

If you want it exclusive then perhaps you should go hire the programmers and take care of this. I wouldn't really expect someone to spend money hiring this job done and not be able to sell it to whoever and as many people as he / she wants.

@ rurbaniak - awesome bud, looking forward to working with you on this.

@ Romeos Tune - you have a horrible attitude - please go infect another thread.

but I like the battlewang site :P

[Romeos Tune]

lol..... My attitude is not horrible.... I was just stating a fact. I guess to some people if you spend a couple grand on something with the intent of selling it then why on Earth would you stop at 20 people?

I'm definitely not trying to infect this thread. I've love for this to happen and I'd be right in line with you to buy it. :D

BTW, are you playing BattleWang??

[wolfyman]

nope, but I checked it out the other day - you have a cool thing going there, I do plan on coming in, playing a bit, and stealing some of your style :D

[Romeos Tune]

Far out..... :D

Now... back to poker..... If this doesn't happen I also might hire some programmers for this because the folks at my site will eat it up and it can be a money maker as well as fun for everyone while they're not playing battlewang. So.... I'll keep following this....

[snags204]

Ya i'm in too.. what ever the cost .. www.rom10x.com

[ThePimp]

Here's the original request from the 3.0 forums. It can probably be improved on significantly with Flash, or possibly using AJAX. eBux/eShop integration is also a thought to add to this, as it seems to be pretty solid in regards to the point system and stability.

I would LOVE to see this hack!

Here's the idea:
Using the UCash / UShop point system, a Texas Hold 'Em style Poker thread would ROCK!

Maybe have a "Bot" user as the dealer.

Starting a game:
User starts a game with "POKER-GAME" as the beginning of the thread title... they can put anything else after it... like "POKER-GAME: BigDaddy's Table" or something.

Next in the thread, they define the # of players and betting limits, wilds etc...
51002,AS

Next, await joins.

User posts in thread: USERNAME

Once join requests = [players]... the table is closed for new players.

Then the bot kicks in, and deals cards to everyone, and shows the dealer cards.

Betting rounds then go into play:
10 from each user... Bot will tell the user how much is needed to stay in, as well as post the amounts when each user places a bet.

Player with the highest hand wins the pot.

I know the concept needs a little refining, but this is something that I think would take off like a rocket.

Let me know your thoughts or ideas on this. I'd be highly interested in seeing this Mod for vb3 if someone wants to take the time to build it.

probably, but more monkeys in the kitchen will just complicate things and make it harder to find out who to lynch if it gets pirated. I'd rather pay more and have less headaches.

[snags204]

So what is going on with this.... Are we gonna go ahead and order texas hold'em

[ThePimp]

I think I'm just going to develop my own. Got some coders who can do it for $150.00. Might as well. You guys have fun anyhow.

Cheers.

I'm interested too, keep me posted.

[thedvs]

aye count me in

[Nrat]

I play all the time and think it a very cool idea.

[wolfyman]

Romeo, if it's not too late to add a poll, I suggest you do so. Make it public, so you can see who voted what.

How much are you willing to contribute?

$200 or more
$150
$100
$75


Anybody who is not willing to not only say they are in, but also make a claim to how much they are in for, should be completely ignored here. Otherwise this thread will go on forever with nobody actually doing anything, like the last Hold 'em thread.

Also, if somebody is not willing to contribute at least $75, they shouldn't have much say in how this is going to play out.





Seriously - let's get this done.

[MorrisMcD]

I will contribute 300 dollars if its worth it.. But I want exact specs on how this will be done and at LEAST a estimated finish time... I am not going to send even 75 dollars if I dont know when or what it is

[wolfyman]

$300 is a good chunk of change - I am looking forward to hearing Romeo tell us that the donors who make this happen will be able to get a hardcoded rotating ad in the script, or at least asmall spot on the bottom corner with a link :D

Seriously - let's get this done. I'd gladly pay 300.00 for this. There is a software out there that is VERY nice that you can add to your website, however I don't believe it's VB Compatible so it'd have to be hacked. The owners might be able to do it. They are selling this software for somewhere around 5,000.00. This is software already written so that should tell us a little something about how much it's going to cost to get something custom done. I doubt we could get anything great for under that amount but you never know. I think the original author of this thread has figured this out.

$300 is a good chunk of change - I am looking forward to hearing Romeo tell us that the donors who make this happen will be able to get a hardcoded rotating ad in the script, or at least asmall spot on the bottom corner with a link :D I haven't researched it Wolfy. It was someone else who started this thread and supposedly researched it. I don't want to shoot this down or anything but I just don't ever see it happening being someone who has payed for custom programming in the past I know the costs. So don't get me wrong, I still hope there's someway to get this done but I believe the 2nd coming will happen first...... :D

[wolfyman]

hahahha - I started off talking trash to you then for some reason my mind stuck you in as the author of this thread - cheers 'Tune, and I hope the actual author takes my posts into consideration too. :D

I doubt I'll be around for the second coming, so I'll disagree with your stance on the likelyhood of it becoming reality for the same reason I clap when I watch Peter Pan. :winkwink:

[Trigunflame]

I might be interested in accepting the challenge.

[The Modfather]

I'd be willing to contribute. modfather(at)fusionlangaming(dot)com

[MorrisMcD]

If we got this, would it be possible to hard code the ability to connect with eachother.. All the contributors?

[tokosan]

i am interested in this, and might be willing to contribute that much if it was very professionaly done

[Trigunflame]

Im considering building this using some help from existing algorithms that I am aware of.

Depends how many people actually want this done, Im not going to waste my time for only 3-4 people, lol.

[Reef]

Thanks for considering this Trigunflame, I would definently put it to use... I have many members that play this often online so this would be a nice addition to my community

[m80]

i cant even play poker but i think this would be a hard thing to do and my peeps would enjoy it possibly.i would throw 100 on it.

[Oddjob]

i would make a donation.

[Adrian Schneider]

I have a few friends who would benefit from this, though not me personally. I will point them here.

[wolfyman]

i would make a donation.

This isn't just directed at you - this is directed at everybody who has made a statement like this without actually commiting a dollar amount.

HOW MUCH?

Because if someone goes through the trouble to get this done, or even puts up the money to make it happen, and then you turn around and say something like "Well, I never said how much I would contribute. Here's $5" - I would personally pay another $100 to witness the curbstomping.

Be a man and commit to a dollar amount. Obviously if whoever takes this on blows it and presents us with some absolute crap, we're all going to walk. But for the benefit of whoever is willing to put out the effort to get this done, state something a little more solid than "I'm in". If that's all we get, this will never get done.

Its kinda hard to commit to a dollar amount.. I myself said I was willing to give up to even 300 bucks if its as good as its been talked up by some people.. But if its good... Not as good as I expected, I may only give 200.... It all depends... We need some sort of visual, or description from the possible coder to do this before we give an actual 'commited' amount

completely understandable

[stutefc]

I would offer $100 towards this. Can pay up front via pay pal also.

[kanadian]

we should hold a series of online tournaments with a percentage of the proceeds held and put towards this effort...would be a way to contribute to the development and have some fun. I set up charity tournaments all the time online.

say...a $20 buyin and a $2 reg fee...assume 40 players from our combined communities come out...that's a prizepool of $800

1st place: $250
2nd: $200
3rd: $150
4th: $100

in this example: 700/800 is spoken for...$100 remains and would go to the project. We could do a bunch of these..it's a way to contribute and have a chance at actually making $$ in the process.

[guile09]

I would put down up to $300 ... Lets make this happen! It seems as if there is plenty of interest.

I would like to see some kind of statement from the developer with a quote of completion and what features would be included.

I don't understand how people can say I'm in for $200 if it is good. There is always risk involved, and either you are in or you are not. The idea is that your contribution helps fund the product, not purchases the finished product if it is good. That is why all payments should be collected and held by somebody trustworthy and all reasearch should be done ahead of time.

What does this developer have for a portfolio? Have they done similar projects? Are they familiar with Vbulletin? Are they able to make it secure so that it won't be pirated easily? Answers to these would be great.

That's what I'm talking about! Attitudes like this is what's going to get it done - I'm with you on it, if it helps and we have a trustworthy escrow party, and we can get some kind of description on it - I'm in for $200, better or worse. Thanks for your well spoken contribution, guile09.

then in my opinion you are not doing much to get this accomplished, you are only here to reap the rewards of others hard work and risk. Most people in this thread, it seems to me, do not want to resell the final product. We want it to be exclusive, to the people who stepped up and took a chance. That means you will not be able to benefit from it, which is fine with me - no risk, no reward, Oddjob.


Of course - I'm just talking out my rear at the moment, because it's all hypothetical at this time anyway. :D

[Romeos Tune]

If you all are looking for someone to escrow then it's as simple as someone volunteering to place the money somewhere safe but then you have to trust that person. That's a lot to ask. We're talking a minimum of 3000.00 and probably more or it will not be a quality product. It's also going to be a bit of work for someone to work with the programmer(s) to make sure things are going ok. Like I said, it's going to be very hard to raise that kind of money because of trust factor. I'd volunteer for it but like I said the program would also have to be able to make money afterwords. For instance, people could buy extra chips for quick cash through paypal as well as receiving chips / cash for posts and referrals and such.

Then we have the problem of who owns the copyright to the program? How on Earth will that ever be worked out?

[wolfyman]

Then we have the problem of who owns the copyright to the program? How on Earth will that ever be worked out?

We all enter into an NDA. Like i mentioned befoire - if the urls of the site this will be used on is hardcoded into the program, it will make everything a lot easier.


So, who do we trust to hold the money? I'm trustworthy, but none of you know me. :P

If i see a real effort by people putting up money into a trusted account then fine, yes i could do $150ish. I have a hard time trusting people with my money on the internet.

bummer when vbulletin upgrade, and you want it. and the script wont work? :S ask for free upgrades :P lol

[Trigunflame]

I will start work on this under the following conditions.

1. Someone needs to handle the money, or setup a donation fund etc.. that way the money is accounted for and ready; can issue refunds etc.. if for example I die.. or can no longer lend my time to the project.

2. It will be my source, my time invested, and copyright to me But it will remain open source code and be posted as a hack on Vbulletin.org under addons.

If everyone can agree to that, I will start work asap.

It's great that you are interested in doing this great addition Trigunflame.

I wish I was better off financially to help out atm but unfortunatly that isn't the case so; Thank you very much for wanting to keep it open-source.

dude this wwould be really big not 3 to 4 people/ if your willing to take on something like this just hook it up real nice. try to work it as a vbulletin addon instead of strictly vbulletin kinda like photopost scripts/ so there stand alone as well. then make your stand alone version packed with more stuff like mulitble rooms. create your own rooms. stats and stuff like thatg i am sure theres alot of little addojns you could do and then charge for the full version thats either standalone or works with vb. and then just make a small version for vb to market the product.. then your getting paid and praise at the same time//

I will commit to at least a 50 dollar donation if I end up using it Trigun.. I'm not funding something that will be open source.. But you can count of a donation for a hack of this size

for the record - this thread has gone almost 100 posts without any serious headway, the original poster hasn't spoken in over 2 weeks, and as far as I am concerned - this thread is a waste of time. If someone has a decent proposal, I am going to jump this ship and go to the next thread that is started about it.

Hey, here's an idea - we start a new site devoted to our cause. I'll take the first step. (http://coalitionforvbpoker.com/)

[skullycapone]

Ive seen the software installed on a site already so someone is selling it

[Romeos Tune]

Incorrect.

[wolfyman]

thank you Romeo :D

[stutefc]

Great we have a coder interested.

Now we need someone that is willing to set up a pay pal account for this...any takers? As promised in this thread I will send about $150 when it is set up.

Sorry guys, I know I haven't been around in a few weeks, I got laid off from work, and my wife gave birth to our second child, so I've been a little busy.

The original company I was working with on getting this coded totally changed their pricing when I asked for a offical quote. What they said they could do in 30-45 days now they said will take 2-3 months, and their monthly rate also went up. So this would end up being 3 times as much as I originally stated, so we won't be dealing with them.

So I'm back to square one on this now. :cross-eyed:

I see that Trigunflame has offered to start coding this, and I think this is a good solution.

[AMFMaree]

Im willing my board wants this really bad..but where do we start?

[guile09]

I see that somebody has a domain for this, which I think is a good idea.

We should put up a private vbulletin forum with a paid membership of $200. People who are interested in contributing would signup and their $200 would go toward the development and intergration of the software.

All paid members that signup would be an active part of QA during the development. The programmer(s) would intergrate all beta versions directly into this particular vbulletin forum and recieve feedback from contributing members. Or something along those lines.

We need somebody willing to take on the responsibility of collecting and holding payment. Will refunds be possible without incurring paypal fees? If there will be fees in the event of a refund, are all contributors willing to have this deducted from their contribution? Contributors must enter into some sort of agreement.

We still need a quote and a developer that is willing to begin work with a low up front payment. We could release a percentage of the funds upon seeing some solid visual evidence that the developer(s) are capable of completing this project. Then the rest upon completion.

I think this would be a good way to get the ball rolling...

I think the more that we all keep stating that we will donate ?/$200 or more then surely the coder is going to hang back and get the highest fee they can, we need a coder to state how much this will charge then divede that by the the number of end users, looks like the above company just got greedy, I'm all in for donating money but would like to see an end figure or at least an estimate

[Sonic1954]

Ok, Texas Holdem is what I am loooking for as a plug in for my site. Any progress on making this happen.

I am in for $200.

Since we are financing this, why don't we sell it instead of giving it away. We are paying a coder to code it. Set up a site and sell it. Make our money back.

Remember money talks, BS walks. I got my $200 cash in hand.

Guess this is a dead issue. Sigh

[LEAD_WEIGHT]

This was ask when vB 3.0.0 was out and maybe before. I have only seen con jobs when people try to get this off the ground.

I hope nobody gets burn here.

[TheComputerGuy]

If someone can get it to work so people on my site could play...that would be pimp. I would be willing to major green down if more than one person wants to get in.

I would be against posting the hack on vB unless the coder wants to create the software and license it for $XX amount.

[Domenico]

Interested!
Is there no coder on this site willing to code it?

[10ofhearts]

Is this still a live issue?

If it is and there is an option for a real money table then I'm well in 3 -500 wouldn't be a problem, would chip in if there wasn't but my members would still vanish of to real money tables to less interested then.

Given that the software exists elsewhere, and there are some really great coders on here wouldn't it make sense to adopt the approach of semi-commerciality being touted, with the product being sold on at a later date, possibly with a reduction in facility, say a non cash element points only kind of thing?

Just a thought.

Hope it is still an option though.

[shadow smith]

I am interested.

[kurtbarker]

i'd be interested... but as stated, don't everyone say $200 then the coder will think, how much can I get. we need a quote, and then we need it split, then say it'll be availble to 'these' regististed people for $xxx each

Any chance this could be integrated with the arcade as a 'feature game' up the top of the others?

[Domenico]

Oh man, anyone who is interrested in a full mod/plugin/hack pm me with I'm interrested and the value he/she would like to spend on it in the subject (so I don't have to read the PM)

Example subject: I'm interested, texas hold'm, $500

I want to see how much money can be collected with this so I can go and talk with coders.

[jwparker]

I'm interested, but would like to see a proposal(s) for the project prior to submitting any moneys.

[wolfyman]

PM sent

[phill2003]

yea i would like more information and would be willing to put up the $200 to become a partner.

[hitmanuk2k]

I'd put up a hundred or 2 if I knew the final product would be of a good enough standard.

[Domenico]

Ok, everybody go to http://www.vbhackers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3961 and post that you want this hack!

We have decided to open up a Most Wanted Hack Contest here on vBHackers.com . What will happen is any member can request a hack here in the vBulletin Modification Request Forum, remember try to be detailed when posting what you want.

The Requests with the most posts/views expressing they want this hack will be put into a poll. We will be picking 10 of the most wanted hacks to have a poll on.

The winning hack of the member chosen poll will be put into action and we will have our coders code this hack under our own dime. Once coded we will release for everyone to use for free! I can't promise the turn-around time for the hacks since I don't know how large the projects will be, but be assured that I will put it as a top priority.

So let the requests begin!

I just found this thread, but would definitely be interested. Willing to contribute $200 as well.

Do you want this hack to be made or not? What are you waiting for then? Go to

:banana:

[jcr]

I would also donate, 100, 200, 300 it really does not matter. If this can be done that kind of money can easily be earned back through the poker system.

If someone please just could make it happen, I would gladly pay for using the mod. BUT i really think that 100 should cover the license per user. IF someone just makes this happen that happy coder will get filthy rich within seconds.

[soletrader]

Im willing to put up a few hundred as well.

[cmbehan]

We're interested and would put up money if needed. Please keep us updated!

[hitboy]

I am in also pm me when this happens

<a href="http://www.pluginpoker.com" target="_blank">http://www.pluginpoker.com</a> - integrates with your vB immediately.

[fxs158]

how would you integrate this? It says integrates with phpbb.

[wolfyman]

I'm unsubscribing from this thread, too much talk not enough walk. I have money to invest if anyone gets serious, be sure to PM me.


http://www.pluginpoker.com - integrates with your vB immediately.


Until then, I'll look into this.

[Regs]

Somewhere on the site it mentions it integrates with vB.

It didn't at first but they added it after they released the program.

By integration, it means your users are already logged in when they go to the poker lobby. That's all at this point.

Cheers,

~Regs.

[hitboy]

yeah theres no way to intergrate with the points system but what sucks even more is it only can handle 5-10 people

[MorrisMcD]

15 bucks a month?? Isnt that a bit steep?

[rjmjr69]

I wonder if you can have Multiple 10 player tables going. Who would want more anyways?

But this thread has been going for way too long. I dont see why one of the great plug in coders hasnt taken this one on. Surely would be the biggest hit.

[kylek]

thanks Regs for the info, just signed up for a 10 person table.

[MTVSlick]

YES WE WANT IT! LOL

Mark,

[Bree]

Wow, this is a very old thread... Did this happen, still an option... what? I'm interested. Not interested in paying 14-15 dollars PER month but a one time fee........

Always, Bree

[Regs]

How about $180 one-time per year?

:D

[Nikke]

Anything happening with this?

[ArchangelX]

Bump! Anything down?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

If nothing by now, i doubt you will see anything as this thread is over a year old.

[Hornstar]

thanks Regs for the info, just signed up for a 10 person table.

How did it go for you? did your members enjoy it?

Wow, this is a very old thread... Did this happen, still an option... what? I'm interested. Not interested in paying 14-15 dollars PER month but a one time fee........

Always, Bree

Agree. I am waiting for a fully integrated hack, with a 1 time fee eg. $149, and then a fee per year eg. $30 if you want additional updates.

I would be willing to pay that, would like it to be less, but if it was that, I would pay it right now.

[edytwinky]

Are there any other sites offering a possible Texas Hold Em Hack for VB?

[ArchangelX]

Dude...there's 10-player Texas Hold Em for 3.6 now! It's the new Casino mod here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=159151

It's brilliant! Just make a donation to make it worthwhile for the coder, Andrew! He's really been working hard at this!
