Hey Product Hunt!
So, I got back into poker a while ago and went looking for something to practise on. Most of what I found was fake felt, flashing "BUY CHIPS" buttons and many, many pop-ups. So over a weekend I built Pip instead.
It's single-player Texas Hold'em, and the whole idea is that it respects you:
- No real money, ever. Play-money chips, no $ anywhere, nothing to buy. It literally can't take your money.
- No account needed, no download. Open the page and play. There is an optional account now if you want your progress on a second device, but it's off by default and nothing needs it.
- No ads, no pop-ups, no daily-reward guilt loops. Just the table.
- Open source, so you can read exactly how the hands work and how the AI plays.
There's a ladder of venues to climb, from a friend's garage up to The Main Event, against a cast of AI regulars who get tougher as you go. Side tables with different formats, a shop to spend chips in, and an awards system. It's installable as a PWA too, so it works offline once you've loaded it.
To be honest about where it's at: it's single-player only, no multiplayer yet. The AI plays real poker - equity, pot odds, position, bluffs - but a strong player will probably out-read it. I am not a strong player haha.
I'm big on open source, so if you think this is cool I'd love contributors. Feedback, feature ideas, bug reports, all welcome.
What would actually make you come back to something like this?
