Texas Hold'em

How a poker night works here

1. Open a table on the TV. Press Create table on a TV or laptop everyone can see. It shows a QR code.
2. Everyone joins from their phone. Scan the code, pick a name, sit down. No app, no account.
3. Play. The TV shows the board, the pot and whose turn it is. Your phone holds your two cards and your buttons.

At the table

• No-limit betting, with side pots and split pots worked out for you.
• Blinds and starting chips you can set, and blinds that rise on a timer if you want the night to end.
• A turn clock, so one slow player can't stall the table.
• An odds panel for learners, with bots at the table: your hand, your chance to win and what a call costs.
• Friends who aren't playing can watch from their phones.
