Need: 'Player', 'Table'
players have
- a name
- chips (bankroll)
tables have
- a deck of cards
- a finite number of seats that players can sit at
- a set of pots to which players bet (usually one)
the table manager fires events during the course of a game, including
- player joins game
- player leaves game
- hand starts
- hand ends
- player wins chips
- player loses chips
- player splits pot
- new pot created
- player checks
- player folds
- player bets
- it's a given player's turn to act
- player didn't respond in time (timeout => autofold)
- hole-cards dealt to player
- flop dealt
- turn card dealt
- river card dealt
- player chatted a public message to the table
- player sits out
- player asks permission to view table
- dealer button moved
- blinds go up
it is up to an event listener to prompt the players for their action when
it is their turn to act.
a player's action can be noted prior to their turn to act. when it becomes
their turn to act and the pending action is valid, it is used. otherwise,
the turn-to-act event is posted again (possibly with a flag noting the
previous pending action was invalid for the current state of the hand).
