A Rod Under Investigation for PLAYING POKER

http://www.inquisitr.com/122689/alex-rodriguez-under-mlb-investigation-for-playing-in-illegal-poker-game/

InfiniNET Poker

TheInfiniNET.com Poker

Imagine the next generation of online poker:
　
9 people sitting around in their homes with cameras and mics hooked up to each player.

Buy-ins done electronically through their bank accounts (or whatever form of payment is considered legal). Real chips will be supplied to them in the start-up kit that our company mails to them. Our system will assign different values to the chips as they move up in games.

The projection of the game makes the 9 players see exactly what they would see in real life.

When somebody leaves the game their camera shuts off and another person takes their place in literally a split second. No waiting around.

FULL GAMES ALL DAY. Rake will be collected by TheInfinINET developers and the Bay Area Poker Tour administrators.

BAPT on The Believers Fund

We have 86 days to reach our target goal of $3500 on the Believers Fund. A smartphone app would be crucial in the development of this start-up company. Here are the details of what the app will contain:

Main screen
Flashy Bay Area Poker Tour logo on the top (Should have a Bay Area theme.)

Underneath it has these selections:

Poker Rooms
Cash Games
Tournaments
New Player Deals/Bonuses
Sponsors
Columns/Tips

Brief Outlook of Each Section:

Poker Rooms: A profile of every card room in the Bay Area. Name...location...history...etc.

Tournaments: A quick and easy way to find out what tournaments are being hosted throughout the Bay Area. There will be a master calendar for each month as the first selection of the Tournament section. Below that each casino will have it's own section where you can choose the date for whatever information you're looking for.

Cash Games: Each poker room has their own section once again. When you click the name of the card room the cash games they are currently running will display.

New Player Deals/Bonuses: A lot of casinos offer new player deals and bonuses. This will be a place to read about them. When we make official deals with the casinos all new players will have to do is show the floorman their smartphone with the BAPT deal and they will receive it.

Sponsors: A list of the companies sponsoring BAPT.

Columns/Tips: A place for updated articles and videos about poker. Maybe someday we will link to CardPlayer through this.

The question is what are the landmarks?

The AntiWood Casino

Imagine this: The cities of Antioch and Brentwood build a brand new casino. The Bay Area Poker Tour powers the poker room. Every year we host an event called the Universal Cup which is THE biggest poker tournament in the history of Mankind. Throughout the year we host satellites to get into the tournament at the casino and whatever Internet poker site links up with us. This venture can not fail.

I have the perfect location for the Casino. The bright green lights AntiWood will attract people (money) from all walks of life. Poker brings the world together. Remember that.
