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.
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.
Thanks :-)
Btw I found a way how to abuse the system when playing against AI in the practice mode. Every round I go "All-In" but after some time AI still can not figure out that I am bluffing. I farmed like 10 000 of free cash in 5 minutes; 200 of cash per round.
Also you can think about adding stats and maybe further developing this to become real cloud poker service.
The bot tries to play Game Theory Optimal, so it doesn't really care about the opponent's strategy. That's why no matter how often you go all-in, it won't change its strategy.
In theory, playing GTO will guarantee that you won't be beat. However, there are holes in this bot's strategy (to reduce computation). So when you find these holes, you can exploit the bot.
That said, if you play "normally" (don't go all-in on the first action), the bot should be pretty competitive.

Interesting. I was focusing on the "home poker" use case. I'll think about it more. Thanks!
