So, assuming 45 people = 1%, then 10% = 450 people? Or about 50 tables? Or, you simply haven't been able to test that many? Could you theoretically accommodate 4500 simultaneous connections on your current hardware, or would that kill it?
I haven't tested that many, so I don't know. I'll consider myself lucky to get just one full table of regulars at this stage, so I'm not going to worry about it. I'll consider the project a success if I make enough to cover hosting costs and whatnot.
I want to do something similar, but I'm hesitant because 1. I'm not really a good coder, 2. I don't know all the different rules of poker.
It's a big project. I've been pecking at the boot52 code for five months now and there's still a lot more to do. It's time and effort, just like everything else. The 'mental poker' concepts y'all have been talking about look interesting. I might take a stab at it one of these days if see enough interest among players.
But I've been winning against FoldBot. Kinda boring since it was on the play money tables though.
The bitcoin version of FoldBot got raked over the coals pretty bad on Sunday. I lost about .7 bitcoins on that promotion. The 'play money' version isn't nearly as fun! I'll be doing another bitcoin FoldBot promotion this Sunday between 12 noon and 6pm EST, so be sure to check that out!
