An anecdote: I play a “home” online poker game with friends every Friday since quarantine started. It has been a great way to have some weekend fun and hangout (we zoom while we play). I love the “all-in” moments when you see the odds displayed for each hand and there’s still at least a turn/river left to watch. Watching the odds play out and seeing the occasional 3% chance win is so fun. I’d love to see odds annotations on more things, maybe it would be a cool AR feature.

What software do you use for the actual poker game?

  Discovered via the doc below, I've used lipoker.io and blockchain.poker. Both decent and accounts/logins not required https://docs.google.com/document/d/10iOD7Wy_YU4NmkPU7ZH7YTrq11qJAANjZZ0PAotKhR8/preview?fbclid=IwAR3d6gte-hUx3d0-Bo5VBurCw8BarV-3artzK4DMmf7sbWJM9XoGgrFvqKo https://docs.google.com/document/d/10iOD7Wy_YU4NmkPU7ZH7YTrq...

    There are so many different software platforms for poker in 2020 it's not even funny. So much competition and innovation. I have about half a dozen poker groups that play regularly (some daily) together, and while most of them settled on PokerStars and PokerBros, others are using Poker Mavens (self hosted), PokerNow, Pokerrrr, etc. I thought COVID-19 would kill poker but it really seems to be going through a revitalization with everyone bored at home.

  We use pokerstars.bet which has an option to obtain free tokens and to host a “home” game. You share your “club id” so your friends can register for and join your game. Some friends observe the game without playing. Separately, we join a zoom while playing. $20 buy in and the software allows optional buy-backs for a period. It scales automatically to number of players so we’ve had multiple tables going at once in a game that collapse down as players are eliminated. Pokerstars is a beast, it opens a million windows, but I gotta admit, it’s also got a million features - though once it did incorrectly decide the winning hang which left all of us scratching our heads and 1 person very upset.

i think we all want to know what software you're using. Pokerrrrrrrrrrrrr 2 seems to be the default, and it's fine, but there has to be something better.
