Read full descriptionHide full description
Poker Night runs your home game and sharpens your play. Track every buy-in and rebuy, run the blinds timer, record the big hands at the table, and see who pays whom in the fewest transfers. Between nights, check equity, pot odds and outs, and practice with quick trainers. No ads. No account. No subscription. Your ledger stays on your device. HOST THE NIGHT ⢠Plan ahead: set up the next game, propose times, mark who's in and get a reminder. ⢠Start: seat your regulars from the roster, pick cash game or tournament, and set what a buy-in is worth (say 200 chips = $20). ⢠Play: each rebuy is one tap, with undo. The status line shows time played, players at the table and money in play. ⢠Count: type everyone's chips once. The balance check says if the count is off, and by how much. ⢠Host tools: random seats, high card for the button, a chip-set calculator for starting stacks, tournament payouts and a dealer's choice wheel. ⢠Shared costs: split pizza, tips or the table fee before you add it. BLINDS TIMER ⢠Ready-made or custom structures with level alerts. ⢠A Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island shows the level, blinds and countdown, plus Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. SETTLE UP AND LOOK BACK ⢠The fewest transfers, in dollars and chips. Or banker mode: everyone squares up with one person. ⢠Tap Pay to copy the line and the payment details you saved. Poker Night never moves money. ⢠A clean results card: the winner, the standings and every transfer, with each payee's payment details on the image. ⢠History of every night: search, filters, and undo if you settled too soon. ⢠Leaderboard by month, season or all time, with wins, streaks and biggest nights. ⢠Player insights, 16 badges and Wrapped, your group's year as a story. RECORD HANDS AT THE TABLE ⢠Log hand opens a full-screen recorder on a real table, with tonight's players already seated and their stacks filled in from the night. ⢠Tap the actions street by street. Each seat shows its last action; undo, redo, a straddle or a new hand are one tap away. ⢠Pick hole cards and the board on a card picker that greys out cards already used. Change any card later. ⢠Tonight's hands, newest first: the cards, who won and what they took. Swipe through replays in the same order. ⢠Share a hand as an image: the final table, every street's actions and the blinds. ⢠Five recorded hands a night are free. Each player's stack starts from their chips in the game, rebuys included. STUDY: POKER ODDS CALCULATOR AND TRAINERS ⢠Poker equity calculator for Hold'em, Omaha and ESG, with up to three boards and a card keyboard made for poker: rank, then suit. ⢠Pot odds, outs, implied odds, fold equity, MDF, SPR and ICM. ⢠40+ common situations with their equities. ⢠Poker trainers you can play one-handed: equity, pot odds and outs drills, 10 free questions a day. ⢠Range editor with text and sliders, hand vs. range odds and saved spots. ⢠Home-game guide: rules, hand rankings, blinds, hosting and etiquette, plus an English-äøę glossary. ⢠Poker Wire: poker news from leading sites in one tab, translated on your device when your app language is not English.
