Why poker
The General is remembered as a strategist who put the case for air power against Japan years before Pearl Harbor; as the man who flew into the Pacific three days after Midway, leading his own plan; and as the partner you wanted in your bridge or poker game in the interwar years. Skill, nerve, and arithmetic at the table were of a piece with the rest of his discipline.
Osage Poker is the ecosystem’s nod to that discipline. Cash games and tournaments, hosted online for ecosystem members and in person at curated events. We treat the game as a craft.
How it works
- Identity gates via Osage ID; no anonymous accounts.
- Settlement on Osage Network or by traditional rails, at the player’s preference.
- Anti-collusion review and rake transparency baked in; published metrics, not just claims.
- Responsible-play limits configurable per-account and enforced at the protocol layer.
Annual tournament
The annual Tinker Cupis held each June at Pawhuska, the week of the In-lon-shka. Buy-in proceeds, after rake to the house, go to the Osage Foundation’s Tinker Scholars program.
Where this is permitted
Real-money play is offered only in jurisdictions where it is legal and properly licensed. Where it is not, the table is a play-money training environment.
