Board Game Arena

As someone who plays online poker, I like that it's being brought to BGA, but I have some issues with the implementation.

First off, it's way too slow. I'm not talking about thinking delays for players, I'm talking about animations and showdown. You need to wait ages for the card animations, and showdown takes ages just to show the cards. Also the option to show your hand or not takes too long, you can just remove it and always hide hands.

And second, the minimum bet rule in this implementation simply doesn't exist in hold'em. Here, you can't bet less than 8 big blinds into a 12 big blind pot. This limitation makes no sense and should be removed. If you really want a min bet to prevent people from wasting time with baby bets, make it 1/4 pot. 2/3 pot or whatever it is here is way too restrictive.

Thank you for your attention :=)

The hand resolution and cleanup is interminably slow.

I don't disagree with the scaling of the betting, but is there a custom bet button? (I thought there was, too lazy to go start another game and figure it out)

I agree, it is insanely slow.

I'm not a huge poker player, so I don't really care about the betting rules, etc, but getting through a simple 4P arena game takes forever compared to other games of this complexity.

Surprised this came out of Beta like this.

Agree with the animation speed being too slow.

But no idea what you're talking about with the betting. Minimum bet is 1 BB and that is implemented correctly.

I think they were talking about the minimum amount to raise.

Completely agree...too low

yes there is a button for personalized raise
