Hi, Poker Now is a new and independent poker platform. After the COVID-19 quarantine, we have a huge increase in popularity and since then I am working really hard to offer the best poker experience out there. The Poker Now development is completely open to anyone participate https://gitlab.com/poker-now/pok...

"The Poker Now development is completely open to anyone participate"
@samuel_simoes Is this open source now?

@jjmerri not open source, what I mean with open development is because anyone can suggest and see what I am working on at the Gitlab. :D

@samuel_simoes really impressive interface. My friends and I used to use PokerStars but their app is so difficult to use. One thought, is it possible to make adding on to players stacks a little more seamless? For example, player in cash game has 400 chips and wants to add on another 600. Right now it seems like I would have to go in and change their stack from 400 to 1000 but that can get screwed up if the player is currently in a hand or a hand ends and blinds are posted while i'm trying to make the adjustment. Perhaps there is a way to include an "add chips" button for players that would just add in a specified amount of chips at the start of the next hand. Just a thought, overall amazing site.

@liam_o_brien hi, nice to hear that you are liking! About the additions, I am working at this and it will probably land at Poker Now in the next weeks. You can follow it at: https://gitlab.com/poker-now/pok...

@samuel_simoes I should have known you were already working on it lol. The feature you posted in gitlab is exactly what i was thinking. Basically be able to add and then have any changes take effect at the start of the next hand. Looks awesome!
This is a great place to play and great community. Met a lot of friends on here. The UI is clean and pretty.

Been using it for a few months now and it's amazing. Fair play.
One question though, and I feel I already know the answer, but I was playing with some friends over the course of a few weeks and they commented that "flashy" hands were surprisingly common. We're talking multiple 4 of a kinds in the same match. Quite a lot of flushes too.
Are the hands completely random or is there some sort of weighting system going on in the background?

@sean_smyth Hi, nice to hear that you are liking! We have pretty recently a discussion about the hands at Gitlab https://gitlab.com/poker-now/pok... I invite you to read it. But summarizing: no, Poker Now doesn't do any kind of weighting, it uses Mersenne twister with random seeds.

@sean_smyth I think this is merely a byproduct of the accelerated rate of play. This is much, much faster 1.5-2x than normal in person cash play

@samuel_simoes I have a club and using poker apps right now. Love your concept! Going to show the club today my man! True social gambling(legal) is what I see this being with no surprises. Hope you have a paid version in the works for a host. Just require a login for host and dev from there. We will help fund this project fore sure. PokerNow not having all the HUD's, notes, tags, etc; with online poker may be your biggest advantage today. My home game is 5/5 and your audio/video feature will for sure bring that action back on a simple table like this. The thought of Zoom and PokerBro's has never sat well with me. ;)

@samuel_simoes Host option like for an SNG having a set chip/table options feature would be good to add to dev calendar. Nice game options BTW.....

It's great. Although I would love a feature that would allow me to save time entering a blind schedule. Maybe a csv upload? or saved accounts?

@truckee_lynch1 a way to favorite a configuration to reuse is something that will land on Poker Now pretty soon! Thank you for the feedback!
