While I have also played other poker games, I certainly do not have the depth of knowledge in the statistical side of play, but from an enjoyment stand-point, I liked it very much. I am very glad that you found this post, as I do have a question as it relates to how does this game get into play? As it uses no special deck (although I like your elephant back design) and the felt, table and player locations are the same as any holdem game, where is your profit?

I suspect that there is a double-edged sword here, in that you would like for a spontaneous popularity of the game at poker rooms everywhere, yet you (probably) hold a patent (or copyright) that you want to license to those poker rooms? Perhaps the answer might lay in working to popularize the game in home play and license in public venues.

I guess I am curious about your marketing plan. Not that you need to disclose it, but I just imagine that you have a tough road ahead in promoting major interest, yet achieving royalties.

Have you considered submitting it for evaluation and possible award issuance by MENSA, OMNI Magazine, Games Magazine, to name of few of the places that do such things?

Please feel free to send an email, and a word about the chips... In a hundred years from now, or longer (perhaps less) when your chips surface in the collector word, this post and scan will have them identified as for origin and purpose. With your post we now know the who and all that remains are the order quantity and delivery date. These are things we tend to record about chips.

Best regards and may your idea be a winner!
