Hi HN! I love playing social poker with friends, but often find ourselves not having play cards or chips. I've tried quite a few options, including various mobile apps and websites. Didn't like any of them. So I made my own.
I had two main focuses: easy to use (only requires a web browser; no signup; no download) and good UI for face-to-face poker (track player scores; mobile friendly).
I also included a practice feature where you are pitted against an AI in heads-up.
Due to the social distancing situation, I realized it's not the perfect timing for release. But I do want to put this out there and move on. Hopefully it's useful to some people.
- samizdis 7y agoHave just tried a little bit, and from the brief toe in the water so far, yes, I think that some people will find this useful - or fun. Thanks :-)
- heymijo 7y agoSerendipity. I was just looking for something like this. Looked in to blockchain.poker and PPPoker, but all I really wanted was a way to re-create an in-person poker game with friends. I look forward to trying this out. Thanks for sharing it.

- bingojess 7y agoThis is great. There are few good and truly free alternatives. Been through a few with in-app purchases to limit the number of hands and bloated with ads. Now I can play with friends while in isolation.
- mattcrox 7y agoSite looks really good. Showed it to my team, I think we'll be experimenting with it this week. I've only tested practice mode so far, but is there a way to increase the blinds after X minutes? Like a Sit-N-Go / tournament mode?
- nerf0 7y agoThanks! It doesn't have tournament mode yet. But looks like this is the most requested feature so far. I'll consider adding it soon.
