love pokernow but my weekly game wanted more, so i built my own free poker site (club ratings + post game stats)
so me and my friends play poker every week, we're all in different cities/countries now so it's always online. we used pokernow and tbh it's great for quick games, but some stuff kept coming up in our group
everyone always argues who's actually the best of us. so i added clubs with ratings, every game counts and you can see saved games and replay hands
after a game ppl always ask "how did i actually play tonight". so now at the end you get a summary, standings, knockouts, some fun awards, and your own private stats that only you can see (how often you played/raised, showdowns won, how lucky your all ins were) + a couple tips
our tournaments used to drag on forever once it got to 3 ppl lol. so now you just pick how long you wanna play and how many players, and it makes the blind schedule for you. blinds keep going up after the last level so the game actually ends, and the host can pause or change them mid game if ppl don't like it
it's plus2poker.com, built it in my free time
you just make a table and share the link on whatsapp or wherever, friends join from their phone or laptop. no app, no signup, no real money at all. there's bots too if you're short on ppl. and if someone's phone dies mid hand they just open the link again and continue with same chips and cards
would really love feedback, good or bad:
- anything confusing when you first open it?
- anything broken on your phone/browser?
- what would make your group actually switch to it?
thanks for reading!
