I figured I'd air this idea out here, basically because I'm bored.  Quite some time ago I had an idea for a sort of poker video game, but nothing like Hoyle's Card Games or Poker Night at the Inventory.  No, this would be a full-on poker RPG with a full RPG system.  How the heck would something like that be done?  Well let's just say in this version of "poker" the odds calculations would be a lot less clear-cut.  There would be statistics like Fortitude (the higher the number, the harder it is for the character to go on tilt.  "On Tilt" being a status ailment in which there is a certain percentage chance of the character not following your directions.  Others would be Aggression--how easy the character's bets can get the others at the table afraid of him/her, Intelligence (know when to fold 'em and also interaction with the in-game percentages) and of course, Luck.

There would also be special powers that each could be activated a set number of times per tournament.  An example would be "One Time" a power that can only be activated one time per tournament and would raise the chance of an out hitting (in the context of the video game algorithms and such) by a percentage dependent on the Luck stat.  I see a lot of potential here, but what do you guys think?  Too weird?  Awesome?  Something I haven't thought of?
