is there an original post to this contest? when's the deadline? how often will the blinds raise? will there be antes or just the blinds? where in the code can you get your (table) position and the amount of players in the hand who have yet to act?

if i have time i'll get in. i say you hold a monthly tournament too. i think it would be kind of cool to have our players get more experienced over time. in other words, everyone can tweak their code to make their players better each month. a program like this could get very large and complex. it would be cool to go all out on it, but if everyone did, everyone would lose interest in the time it takes to do something like that. if we had monthly tournaments, i think we could keep up the interest and have adequete time to write some real good code.
