    I have plenty of time but no company. No games in hyderabad. And online i'm too bipolar. I won $80 through a freeroll and lost it in 30 subsequent minutes :p

    I don't know how to play poker (or any other card game).

    But if there used to be guitar duels, can we work out other competitive guitar games based on them? Guitar poker!

    Edit - Imagine guitar football. Guitar chess.
    Edit edit - Insert any musical instrument(s) in place of guitar.
    Edit edit edit - Music RPG?

    I used to ... until the world craze for Texas hold'em took over.

    And anything that everyone is doing just because it is popular in the States - well there goes my enthu for it ...

    Some people can actually play, regular freeze-out tourneys happening in Goa

    It wasn't such a ridiculous idea. Need some help to develop it, though.

    I don't have the first idea how you could make guitar poker work. Assuming it even has cards involved, how the heck would you play?

    Dude, IDK how poker is played, so anyway, Ima try guitar football to give ye guys an idea. Two teams, lets say only 2 players each side for starters. A referee gives a theme (aka riff, motif, w/e) or both teams agree on a theme...

    Oh snap, just realized I need more knowledge on theory/composition to work on this.

    Basically it's all based on improvisation/composition skill, as well as the technical skill for playing it. And I think polyphonic players (keyboard players, touchstyle/fingerstyle guitarists, accordion players etc) might be more or less compulsory. Probably won't be popular, doesn't have the simplicity of a guitar duel :p

    IMO guitar football SHOULD involve playing the guitar with foot.

    No, I visualize it to be like playing football with a riff. Now picture that in the composition form (or more specifically, in the theme and variation form).

    You mean dribbling the riff with your foot ... thats what I said - it MUST involve playing the guitar with feet.

    Otherwise take up some other sport - ping-pong perhaps ... tennis, if you find ping-pong derisive.

    Compositionally/improvisationally playing with the riff. Now if only I knew enough about composition, I could name an equivalent. I think the answer lies either in fugal treatment of the theme (based on the individual rules of the game), or in variations. Now what the 'goal' is and what is to be achieved by the players (preferably involving teamwork as well) - I dunno what that could be. Someone experienced in composition is needed, as I said.

    Lets admit is Guitar football sounds more snazzy than guitar ping pong.

    That is the reason the label stuck.

    hipster post is hipster.

    i used to play hold 'em a few years ago (i think the craze really took over thanks to casino royale) and got pretty good at it at one point. haven'T played in a LONG time though.

    I play very regularly. Cash games, sit and go's, freeze-out tourneys, whatever. There's no-one in hyderabad to play with me though and it's a damned shame. Going all the way to Goa is just too tedious.
