텍사스 홀덤 포커: Pokerist 17+

Careful, it’s addictive!

I have been playing this app since 2010, just after they started. I play about 6-8 times per week, rarely playing more than 20 minutes at a time.

That’s the problem. You can easily find yourself playing for hours daily. It’s a gambling game so if you tend to have a gambling addiction, you can easily be hooked.

Good news, it will not cost you much if you do get hooked. The managers of this app were much more generous in the beginning and gave away free chips very regularly. Now the free chips are farther in between and you will have to buy some chips if you wish to play in the more expensive gambling games. $10 will get you going, $100 will get you enough chips to last forever, unless you are a really bad gambler. I spent nothing for the first 6-8 years until I realized that I should morally pay the apps team some money for all the enjoyable playing time I had over the years.

Have fun and play responsibly.

Ive lost my thrill

I enjoyed playing this game. Yes, past tense In fact, it’s the only game I’ve actually paid to keep playing. Specially the tournaments. I would give it a five star before when they had 50k tournaments, and there was A freebie every 24 hours on each tournament. That’s what made it even more fun. Rewards were awesome knowing how you can be low one minute and next thing you know you’re playing with the big brawlers, and the more I had the bigger my bets was great even if I was broke again 5 min later. THAT WAS A THRILL!!! . When I was low I’d go back to freebies, use those up and then I’d pay to keep playing and well worth it. And I have paid a good chunk of money on this app. But now that they eliminated all those goodies I have to pay to play a 250k tournament for a reward that is most likely going to be 375k and now it seems like I loose most of the time which is aggravating because before I use to get a thrill even when I lost. And in my personal opinion I feel like as the app is becoming more popular, it’s also looking greedy. It just doesn’t seem to be so entertaining anymore since I’m moody loosing. And I don’t consider myself a soar looser. Only on this app I have lately. I’m honestly thinking about deleting it. Lol. Which will make my heart ache. I hope the person that decided to make those changes gets fired cause I’m not the only one that feels that way. I hope it comes back to how it was.

Hello!

To balance out the game, we've decided to remove the 50,000 tournament buy-in category due to its decreasing popularity. Lately, there was a constant flow of events and activities being implemented. That allowed our players to earn more chips and participate in higher-stakes tournaments. We will pass on your feedback to the game developers.

There are different tournaments in our game. In boost tournaments, to whom you are referring, every player pays a buy-in into the joint prize pool. All winnings are distributed from this pool, so it's rare to have a large prize pool. You can try other tournaments, Sint'n'Go or MTT, where players' buy-ins form the prize pool for a particular tournament.

As it was before and always will be, events in the game continue to occur on a completely random basis. Only the individual on their respective device and no one else can influence a game. Each hand, round, and game is and will always remain unpredictable. This is an irrevocable fact. We wish you the best of luck.

Rename this game to “all in bets only”

So this is the second poker game I’ve tried of 4 listed. The deals are seemingly random which is nice. How ever, you have 2 kinds of people at the table when you play. 2 or more are just trading large amounts of chips back and forth constantly, forcing anyone else at the table to “all in” just to see the flop with a 75% chance you lose. Or people with low chips and they just all in till completely broke.

Now there is a catch 22 for this. This game has some stupid insurance policy enforced which makes it pay off to only “all in”, because there is a highly likely chance you will get some of your bet back for “all in” should you loose.

Devs. You have a solid game. You want to get people to spend money, stop allowing the chip trading (remove the social aspect and friends) and remove the option to “all in” bet before the flop. This allows people to atleast attempt to play poker. Also remove the insurance policy. If I only have 6k chips and you all in with 500k chips and I win, I should receive 506k chips. It’s not rocket science. If the other person is dumb enough to bet like that, then they should lose and learn. If you want to curve this, simply make it either A you have a max chip stack at the table, or B you can only max bet the max of the next highest stack at the table. If I have to report people constantly just to play poker because they spam chat and other crap, I’d rather not even play.

Hello!

We cannot force anyone to play by certain standards. We can offer you to switch tables if you do not want to play with risky players or you may try playing in our tournament modes, where a more serious game of poker predominates. Also note that constantly playing “all in”, particularly before the showdown, poses a great risk of losing and cool-headed players may always take advantage of this, winning large numbers of chips in one hand.
