TEXAS HOLD’EM: Deal Me In!

[m0d0]

Layout is bad. Communal cards (flop) should be horizontal. Why do we have to crane our necks to see the numbers? Also, all the cards (river) should be displayed on the same screen. I shouldn't have to scroll down to see the 4th and 5th card. Just common sense. Won't play this rendition until it's fixed. Thanks for putting in the chest though!

Looks fine to me. Try a proper monitor. Not sure if tilting your phone would help...

On mobile it's horrendous, the resolution is all of a sudden huge and even the site specific elements are larger than normal. The playing table is sideways with cards turned on their side and stacked vertically. In no way should this be acceptable for any card game.

Wonder why this wasn't part of the calendar of games they pumped out, since that's where they seemed to throw most of their not ready games.

Terrible interface, change pot value on the go, grow it as people bet. Also, get the option to penalize people going allin at every hand even preflop. It's bonkers. Most of the people don't know the true game concept and there's no consequence.. Bad for game and lovers of poker.

Poker without real money is not Poker at all. Betting without any real consequences is not the same game... Does not make sense to play it here.

Isn't it interesting that every other game on BGA has no "real consequences" and yet we all love to play them anyway? Even the ones that have bidding, betting and bluffing!

I agree it is interesting, poker is just a different kind of game. Some gambling games translate well without needing to have a financial stake in the game, but poker does not.

Not to bring more negativity to this, as I love poker, and think it is a completely reasonable inclusion on this site, but this implementation was clearly not ready to leave beta.

Here's a major bug that was reported in 2021 and confirmed by the developer: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=37860 (the developer incorrectly stated that the bug could be fixed by refreshing the page). To this day, the bug has not been addressed.

You nee to lose less money in poker, and buy a normal monitor.

The game is fully horizontal, and everything is looking fine with a very standard 16:9 screen.

People need to understand not everything is made for a portrait-held phone.

The decision to move this one out of beta, given the open bug reports and bad interface, is pretty crazy.

[gnocchi donkey]

say the wrong thing on here by a "smidge: and "this is a site with children"' "all ages" or such YET put on the game which leads much in life to so many problems, gambling worse than drugs,'Im not hurting anybody""not illegal" . with so many mechanics to different games, why this? hard times wiht traffic? EWhy bring a crowd that wouldnt be interested in anything else , just pass time playing this, absolutely senseless and ironic of those in control of BGA guidelines and content composition. Pick a side BGA , don't talk out of two sides of your mouth

I bet my ELO in every game.
