Leave a Review Texas Hold’em
Good Learning App… but it could be way better.
Three main suggestions :
1) it would be very helpful to provide a way to review or walk through the logic of payouts in cases when there are multiple pots & eligible winners… current state goes through it too fast and makes it harder to understand the split logic… especially when you think you should have won at least a part of the total money.
2) improving on the color coded hand strength to include a percentage of the likelihood of a winning hand based on what is in a player’s pocket + community cards would be better than coloration.
3) it would be helpful to save the history of a game from all players’ perspectives to review afterward. This would help players see/learn where they need to strengthen decision making based on what other players are seeing and doing in playing their hands.Show lessOGR99
Multiplayer doesn’t work
Downloaded this as heard good reviews. Single player was reasonable but the multiplayer doesn’t work. There are literally never any players online, so deleted it.Uptonic73
Huge disappointment
I expected better from apple. No better than any other and worse than some. I didn’t pay for the game and I still think apple should be sued for fraud. Bets that make no sense. Hands that should/would never get played turn into winners for the AI. AI gets a ridiculous number of full houses. Be careful if you play live poker. This app will ruin your perspective. In this game, folding every hand until you’re down to the last 3 or4 players is actually a viable strategy . Try that live. In fact, just play video poker in stead. You don’t expect realistic play from it.Show less2UImMagoo
Great game but needs an update
You can tell it’s aged and especially on iPhone 13 pro you can tell it wasn’t made for the screen. Cool game with no ads etc so it would be cool if it got a refreshMick.P.
Good game. Few glitches
I am 100% blind, and the fact that this game is fully accessible is really awesome! The only problem is there is a few glitches. For example, when I first start the game and play for a few minutes or so the game plays really good. I get nice random hands that I can play off of. After a while of playing it seems like it stops giving me random hands, and it starts giving me one high card and one low card every time. I tested this by folding every time, and it happened at least 18 times in a row before I just quit. Another glitch seems to be when I actually do win, the game simply won't let me collect my earnings or continue to the next screen. Sometimes it will literally kick me out of the game completely. Other times it will keep my same cards, it will let me bet, then it tells me who wins. Then it just repeats. I have played this game in both Portrait, and landscape mode. I have an iPhone 13 that's only one year old, so I doubt it's my phone. Thank you for reading my review.Show lessJRandel19
Who censors the censor?
I’m pretty sure there would be many more 1 star reviews for this ridiculous game app, if not for censors who block or delete those reviews. I wrote two prior reviews and the first was up for a few days, and then deleted. The other never made it. It will be interesting to see if this review is shown. Anyway, the game is not honest. Don’t expect to win with normal hold ‘em strategy. You basically have to know what each and every bot would do in certain situations. Many times they will have bad hands but still will go in and often win those hands. The program just isn’t fair.Show lessPukous the Great
It’s free
The best part is that this game is free to play, and there are no ads! But, the competition (AI) is far from realistic. Pre-flop cards are mostly awful, and when you do get a decent pre-flop, most of the other players will fold. Very often another player stays in with absolutely terrible cards, and bets them, even though the flop gives them nothing at all, but guess what? Yup, they end up winning on the last card. Anybody that bet so recklessly in real life wouldn’t stand a chance. It’s frustrating, but hey, it’s free. You might win the whole table 1 in 8 tries. Good luck!Show lessreALMakoi
90% sure it’s rigged
This app makes what is normally a fun and fair game infuriating and mind numbing through a few ways.
The AI first off go consistently 10x blind pre flop, which is absurd and forces you to fold anything other than suited courts, pockets, or ace and court most of the time. These AI also mysteriously know exactly when to chase a flush or straight and when to fold, almost always pumping up terrible hands at the turn only to be saved by the river what feels like 75% of the time. Worst time this happened to me was when the ai called my all in with an unsuited 4&6 against my pocket kings with king on flop and won the straight on river.
The player also never seems to get a good hand either, with some other ai getting pockets in a row and never having a hand worse than a pair by flop. Bad luck is maybe getting 6 or 7 unplayable hands in a row, not 18 rounds of unsuited garbage.
It’s a very rigged game with AI that almost definitely know the future and have X-ray vision, with consistently better luck than the player to the point of statistical anomaly. Avoid at all costs!Show lesskniwght
Bad beats, algorithm favors bots
Bad beats are way too common, as are flushes and four of a kinds, in OTHER hands. The best hand I’ve gotten was a full house - ONCE. Mostly a pair, sometimes two pair. I’ve seen the bots consistently get full houses, straight flushes, and several 4 of a kinds, with only 3 players at the table.
The cards don’t seem normal random at all, and the algorithm seems to keep tabs on your betting. Simply not realistic. The bot bets are out of control. How can the betting keep raising until you’ve up to the amount of your total buy-in before the flop on the first hand? Most of the hands I win are from bluffing.
I don’t mind getting legit beat (well I kinda do, lol), but bad beats and bad bot bets are abhorrently brutal. Sometimes I’ll just go all in due to frustration and wanting to quit.
The app gets a two (not a one), because it plays fast.Show lessrequire truth
The other players get far too many extraordinary hands.
I was looking for a good play against the computer game to enjoy (they seem hard to find) and thought this was it. At first I thought I’d finally found one, but Sadly, this turned out not the case. The play is good and the graphics enjoyable; however, the computer characters get way too many extraordinary hands. I’ve seen too many straights, not to mention straight flushes, ordinary flushes, and full houses. That just doesn’t happen in real poker. When I’m betting what should be a good hand like high three of a kind or even a flush, miraculously, the computer has a better one.
It’s just not enjoyable playing against those odds.Show lessRWsoMuch
