Dude I love Poker.  This is perfect.... at least I hope it will be.

Perfect host; Chris Cashman. His last name has CASH in it! The title practically writes itself

Why did my comments get deleted? Wtf

curious...do you bet achievement points? i doubt it but that'd be sweet...AND terrible at the same time!

Yeah, but now I can play video game poker with Max, and the Heavy from TF2, it kinda makes this less exciting than it could be. 

fucking yes if this is true. 

I like the poker arcade game that is on live so i'll be pumped for this.

I dunno, I have a feeling this is totally true. 
 
Call it a hunch, but I'm nearly positive these emails did in fact go out. 
 
A "hunch".

Damn you other beta testers why cant you keep secrets!

No Chris Cashman, no interest.

If this once again isn't available  in my country, I'm going to shout.

Poker's pretty 2005. We're all about Deerhunter style roulette now. When someone loses you get showered with... well... let's just say not prizes.

Does canada get it first again. Come on we need something.

I would play this way too much, assuming there would be games on when I'm not working.

So it's Poker Night at the Inventory but with Full House characters? Sign me up!

Would be interested if there were actually nice prizes, otherwise I will stick with my Pokerstars on the PC.  =)

Poker, seriously? I'd much rather have the trivia.

" Poker, seriously? I'd much rather have the trivia. "

Oh wait, I just realized I'd never play it anyway because it'll probably NEVER BE AVAILABLE IN EUROPE LIKE USUAL.

Will it have Kinect support?

I don't mind the ads. For stuff to be free it a necessary evil.

This is actually a cool idea, just Chris Cashman to host it and I'll gladly do it.

People still care about poker?

Why is Giant Bomb posting pics with Kotaku watermarks?

Could be fun if done right. A poker tournament takes more then an hour though when you have lots of players. One round of poker takes about an hour. Also this will only be fun if its no limit.

" I think the real question is; does it come with a pre order bonus hat for my Heavy in TF2? "

Fuck this, I want 1 vs. 100. I can't play Poker against my Wife while we're sitting on the same couch like we could with 1 vs. 100. 

Wow, can't play internet poker anywhere else.

No more beta solicitations to kotaku anymore lol.  Aren't you supposed to keep this stuff quiet when you receive it?  Actually, I got the email as well and here is a bolded line in it: 

   This beta program is highly confidential . Please do not discuss the game or the beta program with anyone.

No, but you can earn avatar hats and achievements. "

I love how game journalism now involves writing about what other websites are writing. 
 
Fair play Brad for the easy gig, I just think it's a waste of bandwidth.

I'm rather disappointed that 1 Vs 100 is gone; however, I'll give them props for bringing a new event up, not just scrapping these prime time things as a whole.
Well played, sirs.

thanks but no

I hope this is true.

I thought Microsoft completely gave up on Primetime.

Screw Microsoft! I'd rather have a decent pokergame with a twist.

These live shows are really interesting and are really a great product of this "online all the time" environment we now live in

I got a request to be part of the beta for this.  Email from Microsoft that I had to answer a questionnaire and they would be back in touch with me...d
Interesting.....

I love to play Texas Hold 'Em so sign me up. I just hope I can win stuff or something.
