RULES OF THIS GAME:
[ Step 1]: - You must find a minimum of TWO other players to enter the poker table with you. If you cannot find someone else put a [ OPEN ] at the top of your post. This means you are open for inviting other players. You can have up to 5 people in a poker game thread, if you wish. All players may now come in, and roll in whatever order they wish, you really don't have to wait for players to get your rolls in!
Label your thread [ POKER RP] (PLAYERS HERE). You can play cross faction, obviously! Remember MINIMUM 3 players MAX 5 players!
The player who made the thread is responsible for closing it when finished.
[ Step 2]: All players must now roll 5d12 and make their FIRST POST in that thread. This equals the CARDS they have on their hands where 1= Ace, 11 = Jack, 12 = Queen. There are no kings. Edit your OOC accordingly with your hand. Make a post regarding your hand/entering the thread/ etc.
[ Step 3]: Look at your hand combination. You may now choose to DISCARD one card from your hand you do not like. Select which number you want to discard (from your rolls), and then in a second post, roll 1d12 again. This is your new card. Edit your OOC HAND accordingly, and write a small post of your character. This phase is optional.
[ Step 4]: Look at your hand combination. You may now choose to DISCARD ANOTHER card from your hand you do not like. Select which number you want to discard (from your rolls), and then in your third post, roll 1d12 again. This is your new card. Edit your OOC accordingly, and write a small post of your character. This phase is optional, and your LAST chance to swap cards.
[ Step 4b]: If you somehow have "cash" in your minis inventory, now is the chance to use it! Make a post, and RP that you are using your cash to BRIBE the dealer. Immediately send the cash item to Junkyard. This item WILL be removed from your inventory. When you have done so (don't worry about waiting for confirmation, just do NOT use this item anywhere else or you will be removed from the event), replace any card in your hand with a card of your choice. For example, if your current hand is 1, 2 , 2, 4, 5, with your bribe, you may now change it to 1, 2 3, 4, 5. Proceed to the next step when done. This step is only for CASH people only (if you own this item on the site).
[ Step 5]: You are done swapping cards! This is now your FINAL HAND. We're going to simplify the rules here for Poker so it isn't a big nightmare to complete. Look at the list below:
Select a combination that is APPROPRIATE to your hand. For example, if you have 2, 2, 5, 6, 7, your highest is a pair. If you got 2 3 4 5 6, your highest is a straight. etc etc. Use the form below to submit your final hand and rp out your post.
[quote="CARD FINAL"][b][color=red]I AM SUBMITTING MY HAND[/b][/color] [b]My card combination:[/b] [b]Inventory link:[/b] (proof of cash) [b]Character name:[/b][/quote]
[ Step 6]: When ALL PLAYERS have submitted their hand, simply look at this chart again to see who has the highest combo. If there are two "tied" values, simply look at who has the higher card numbers. That person is the WINNER. If you are the WINNER of the thread, you get 25 casino points. Everyone else has to subtract 5 as penalty. Go ahead and edit your ooc for casino points accordingly.
If players are caught not subtracting points, they will be disqualified from any future poker games! If players do NOT respond in a timely manner despite posting one hand, they will be considered no longer part of the game (-5 penalty for "losing"). The wait period for a timely tag should be 12 hours before moving onwards. You may play multiple poker games at once.

Drink at his side, shadows under his eyes, weary grin on his lips.
There was probably a little push along the way to get her to finally play something besides the slots. Maybe boredom, maybe someone else. She didn't know what at first, there were a few options and some she didn't even know too well.
But someone made the decision for her, it seemed, when she heard a voice calling her over. Lease slowly turned, her eyes narrowed to the possible person trying to beacon her. "Oh," she blinked, her face gaining neutral ground when she realized who it was. "Its you." From the bar, he had actually served her alcohol and stuff, he seemed pretty cool.
Her eyes then turned to the table he was sitting at. Poker. "Sure," the teenager shrugged and proceeded to seat herself on the opposite corner from him. Her coin bucket was placed on the table in front of her with a nice clang.

"Hell yeah, deal me a piece of that," Lissa called out as she sat down, nodding her head on beat with the music. She looked at Jeff with a snort as she tossed out her buy-in, settling down into the chair. You know, for all that the casino was trying to kill them, they sure did provide a comfy cage.
"Man, who're you calling a kid? I pay my taxes just like everybody else," she chided, faking a hurt look. She accepted her cards with a well-practiced swipe of a hand, looking them over.
Whole lotta nada. But maybe I can make 'em fold.

"Pull down some cards then, Lease." Jeff nudged her, raising an eyebrow.
He looked at Lissa, laughing a little. "You live as long as me, you get to call whoever you want a kid." He put down a King just to draw another one, and just shook his head in amusement. "How you two hanging in there?

"I'm working on it, alright?" Lissa laughed, changing out one of her cards. "It's hard work racking up the years out here. Gosh, between all this pressure from you and the radio, it's like people want me to live or something."
"I'm all sunshine and rainbows," she smirked, giving a second glance at her cards. "Gonna be doing even better when you guys see how awesome my hand is."

If there were any gestures, Lease hadn't been taught them so she just said in a bland voice to the dealer to give her some cards. They turned out to be low but at least she had a pair in there. "I'm doing just great," she told Jeff as she arranged them. If he didn't notice she was being sarcastic.
The teenager snorted at the rainbows comment. Clearly what this place was.

Of course he had to keep drawing cards that'd help him, when he was trying to lose.
"Of course I do, Lissa," Jeff said, gravely serious. "The faction has some coins pooled. They're going towards getting the lot of you all out before I get myself out."
Lease threw down two of her cards towards the dealer in exchange for a few new ones. And promptly scowled over her new ones, if only she hadn't thrown away that other 4; she could have had a much better hand with two pair. Such was not going to be her luck today, but at least she could get one last chance.
As she arranged her cards again and debated her next move, she passed a glance at Jeff. "Noble of you to think of us more than yourselves." Though, Jeff did seem the sort. He actually seemed nice and level headed despite what Tumblr lead her to believe about older guys. And at least he didn't seem crazy (Guy) or .. just weird (that new guy with the helmet) and... well, she couldn't place descriptive words on Rebecca besides maybe dead and a loathing towards her if it were true. There were too many Mall Rats to describe, she didn't have all day.

"Don't get all cryptic on me, Jeffmeister," Lissa's expression stiffened as she traded out her last card. "You know me, I can handle myself just fine. I'm an independent woman who don't need no man."
She glanced down at her cards and let out a chuckle, shrugging to herself. "That being said, if you're looking to fold because of how immensely awesome my hand is, well, I can't exactly blame you."

The truth of the matter was, they had a lot of kids and younger folk, in the mall. They were a costly bunch. He'd checked.
"Just thinking of the needs of the many over the needs of the few," Jeff said, lightly, and put down a pair of nines with a grimace. "Not trying to be cryptic, just trying to think of the hard facts, that's all. Now: Show me whatcha got, ladies."

Lease nibbled at her lower lip as her fingers slid across the top of her cards as she debated what to do with her current hand. She had the pair, she could repeat what she did last time or try to get something better if she discarded the three unmatching ones.
Which is the direction she went with. She pulled them out, pushed them forward and retrieved her new cards and sighed. The gamble hadn't paid off and she was still left with what she originally had.
She presented them on the table, "pair of twos," she stated.
s**t. She lost.
