Offline Poker - Texas Holdem 17+

Good offline option...

If you want to learn the basics of the game without delaying other players. I picked this up and played for a few weeks as a totally new player, and it definately taught me some the basics of the game that I would need to know before playing against other people.

The bots pretty quickly become easy to play against; they don't like it when you re-raise them and so you can pretty easily take advantage of that fold equity you have over them to rake in a huge bankroll. The bots are also the same at the higher tournament levels. It became pretty obvious once I learned this that I would need to seek other outlets if I wanted to advance my game.

Overall I would say this app is great for a beginner or if you just want to practice but won't always be able to be "online". Just realize that the bots are exploitable in pretty specific ways and you won't always be able to just raise your way to victory as a LAG player.

The A.I. made me want to fold.

I REALLY like the interface. Easy to use and I like flick up to fold/ tap to call. It can be played with one hand. So that’s a star. Also the sound is good. Nothing flashy, or jarring. Just sounds of chips and cards. Another star for that. Other than that the only positive thing I can say is it will be good practice for people wanting to learn how to deal with donk betting online. The problem is the A.I. It is a little aggressive, which can be good. It doesn’t like to fold post flop, even with weak holdings. Although it regularly makes hero folds preflop against the smallest bid. It doesn’t really seem to respond to bet sizes. It also seems to be favored. That could just be bad luck. But I played a lot. At first I thought the AI’s choices were based on equity, but that didn’t seem to hold up. It may sound like it might be a challenge, but it’s really not. It can be easily beat EVERY game if you land a couple of good hands and it has anything at all, or if have the patience and are willing to grind it out. But even when I did gamble with it and it went my way, it wasn’t really that satisfying. It was predictable and either frustrating or boring. Little in between. Although I can see how some people would like this one, so don’t take my opinion on it. It could be good practice for someone starting out and having trouble playing others online. Cheers and stuff. 🤪

Really solid offline poker app

So in my experience, most poker apps are trying to get you in a position as you progress that you need to purchase chips to quickly advance in game play. Not that the AI is crooked or anything as so many trolls like to comment, but the point of the app is to make money, of course, so cost free gameplay is difficult or limiting. This app is a solid, easy interface, and I’ve played for hours with no need to purchase anything. If you are looking for a fun, offline (meaning you are playing AI) poker game, this is a great choice.

Developer, hats off to you! I really like the simple lines of your game. Id love to see you add another tournament level beyond the $10k buy in... maybe $100k? Or is there something I’ve failed to unlock?

I also really like how it still pits you against other real people in the rankings and sets up two day mini tournaments.

As far as glitch feedback goes, the only issue I’ve encountered has been a scenario where I went all in against a larger bet, all three times this was on the turn card, and for some reason not all my chips went in. Computer won all three and I was left with from 200 to 1500 chips despite it being an outright win and a larger bet by the AI. This is just feedback, not a complaint, as this did not significantly alter game play, and of course, it was in my favor!

Keep up the good work, and let me know if there are higher levels that I’ve failed to unlock. Thanks!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for this comprehensive review!

Your suggestion to add new tables beyond the 10k buy in is an excellent one. I will add three new tables to the next update: Solar System Championship 100k, Galaxy Championship 1M and Universe Wide Championship 10M. Might take a bit for the update as I think I'll need to add in some extra terrestrial opponents.
