Team fortress 2 Items unlocking method

Sorry if this this isn't exactly pertinent to the poker game, but:
I preordered the game to unlock all those items which were advertised with the game. I just received the dealer hat. How to get the rest of the things? I don't want to spend other money because what i got from what it was written is that i will get all the team fortress 2 items once the games comes out.

So, how items will be unlocked? I would like to get them without many problems... Thanks

    This might come as a shock to your type, but you will actually need to PLAY THE GAME to unlock the items. At random in-game points, a character will bet one of the four items in a special "bonus round".

    The exact details as to how you get them isn't clear, but from what we understand...

    When a character is out of money, they may try to stay in the game by betting their respective TF2 unlock, beginning an item round. If you win the item round, you unlock that item in TF2.

    Max will bet the Lugermorph and License to Maim, Strong Bad will bet Dangeresque Too's shades, The Heavy will bet the Iron Curtain, and Tycho will bet the Enthusiast's Timepiece.

    Holy.... I'm a noobish player of normal poker.... I'll have to learn hold'em up? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    Hell... i don't like poker... lol... I hope there is a good guide to learn poker inside the game because I don't even know where to start from....

    At least... with this preorder I will not have to spend more money on this, right?

    I've got no idea how to play poker either. But what better way to learn, right? ;)

    But yes. If you've pre-ordered the game and received the visor, you'll eventually be able to get the other Poker Night items without spending any extra money.

    Out of curiosity, by the way, how familiar are you with Telltale and the other three works featured in this game?

    The same you are familiar with nuclear topology or the radioactive decay of plutonium-239.

    Don't know if I gave you an idea :D

    Well, since my friends play hold'em often, this is the right time to learn it one time for all!

    Ah. So you're getting this game for the TF2 items and nothing else, then?

    Considering I actually did a report on that not too long ago, I'd say I'm somewhat familiar on the subject.

    Actually, yes. And that's pretty easy to understand. Why advertise a poker game to FPS players? lol... I get acquainted of the existance of sam and max (still not of telltale) when those bunnies hats popped out in tf2.
    I do care only of the items. Sorry :p

    I hope you don't expect the items to be worth much in trades, then. : P

    Flint Paper and Bluster Blaster appear in the background of the trailer, so there should be some cameos (though they'll probably be restricted to Sam and Max/SBCG4AP). Don't expect anyone to have a speaking part besides the four playing, though.

    Since you have to play to get the items, you are likely to learn a bit about the characters. This being the case, the people who bought this game only for the TF2 items may find that they want to know more about them and get a Sam and Max, Strong Bad or Penny Arcade game as a result. It could act as a sort of clever advertising for those who were only after items. Whereas, for the rest of us it will just be an insanely funny game!

    I wouldn't be rough on those who only want the TF2 items this time. That seems to be the target audience judging by the trailer and webpage and the items won't have a lot of value for trading. Aside from being a awesome game where four different characters get together, it's an introduction to these characters that some have never heard of. Maybe some only bought The Devil's Playhouse for the items will actually play it after having played this game.

    Aside from the trading value itself, they should have expected that ton of ppl would have bought it only for items.

    Don't worry, you can simply pay someone to play the game and unlock the items for you.

    How on earth would that work? First off, you would be missing out on this awesome game. Second, I don't think that's possible with the item-unlocking method.

    You forgot the third point, you're paying someone to play a five dollar game and odds are you're paying them more then what the game is worth on top of the game.

    Which is exactly why it would be a great marketing move. More people play the game so they can get the items for another game, and in turn they learn about the other character who are pretty funny. If they don't like it so be it, but they still get more customers.
