I can see you've been practising before on this game ;) (hey another link, training leads to result) but really thanks for your elaborative point of view. I hope there are some other poker-designers/design-pokerers out there willing to spread their point of view! P.S. (this is for the 469 board only) Although I think our internal communication is at a high level I would like to propose at least one weekend off with the team+alcohol+poker set. I'm sure we'll get something 469 out of the forest! Oh yeah, because it is in the best will of 469 I do propose the board to pay or I'll make sure the marketing department has some steady cash flows right from the boards pockets over the poker table in to the departments wallet.

"heads-up" i "busted" on a "flush" although i did not see any "high-society", the contents of my stomach did see the "pot"... ah well, at least i can guarantee you that i, as a designer, will always deliver the marketing team with "pocket rockets", or in other words: double aces. good hunting with that! keep up the good work! again a nice column m8.
