🎉🎉 Today Poker Now is completing 3 YEARS ONLINE!!
To celebrate it I shared details about the story of Poker Now so far. I think you will like it! Thank you all that are with Poker Now until here!
There are individuals interested in the Poker Now failure. Poker Now is free and open to everyone service, so the Poker Now success is a hump in some people's plans. But we will not resign. Thank you for your patience.
🚀 Maybe some of you already noticed this, but now Poker Now is showing the all-in win probabilities. A little addition to make your all-in even more dramatic. 😲
1 year ago, a lot of you were meeting Poker Now for the first time and I (Samuel) was desperate to make it work for everyone, hahaha 🔥🔥🔥😂
You can read the full history about this here:
I am a bit quiet these days because I am working on something pretty huge. The multi-table tournaments. 👀
I will back with more news on the next weeks.
⚠️ A note about the multi-table tournament feature: I am still working on this, and right now it is my main focus and it should be the next feature delivery. Sadly I don't have an estimate yet, but stay tuned.
Yesterday was an amazing day for Poker Now, we peaked 9.6k connections and more than 1k games running simultaneously without any major issue or outage. 🎉🎉🎉
👀A sneak peek at what we are working on.
A full-featured hand replayer!
You will be able to rewatch your hands easily and interactively, you also will be able to share your hands with your friends!
[🚀New Feature]
Now you can see the bets, stacks, and pot as big blinds. To use it you can just press "b" to toggle between modes. You also can toggle it on your player's preference page.
🎃💀 Trick or Treat! Halloween theme has arrived! I hope you like it. If you don't want it, you can disable it in user preferences.
Shout-out to my brother Lucas () for designing the card backs and helping me with the felt colors and elements. ❤️
🎥🎥The video/voice chat IS LIVE, but it is disabled by default for today because I need some people testing it and giving me feedback. To activate you just need to follow the steps below.
And you ask why it is taking too long: in simple terms, we don't want to rush to deliver a broken product, we want to deliver something with the quality that you already know when playing on Poker Now, so it takes time.
👋I made a quick video (turn the sound on) explaining the possible spectator feature that I talked about some days ago. I am pretty close to give it a shot since I see a lot of potential on the social aspect of this.
Thanks
@juicyjuuce
for the help with the text and voice-over.
Grateful that the pandemic has lead to 8 of my friends across 5 cities playing zoom poker every Thursday night, a tradition I hope carries on.
Shoutout to
@poker_now_club
for improving the gameplay each week
2020 was a tough year for sure, but for Poker Now it was a turning point, so I did a quick recap and thanked some important people.
I wish that 2021 be a better year for all of us, and I will work to make Poker Now even better! Stay tuned! ❤️
💰 Do the accounting at the end of the game can be a hard task, while Poker Now doesn't have a native ledger the user Adhyyan created this awesome Chrome extension that do the whole accounting.
🎉 [New Feature] 🎉
Now you can see the replay of your played hands on Poker Now!
With two clicks you will be able to show that crazy hand to your friends like they were playing it.
It's also great for anyone that wants to review their game and improve it.
FYI: probably we will not have any new feature this week because I am working hard at the Poker Now internals to increase stability and reliability. ;)
Low stakes cash games can be more interesting when seeing the cents, right?💰💰So now Poker Now supports playing with cents. Just create a new game and choose to use cents. 😉
🆔 The login feature was released! For now, it doesn't bring too much value, although it will allow you to play on more than one device as one player. But this feature is the tip of the iceberg of something bigger like multi-table tournaments, leagues, and so on. Stay tuned!
Vertical layout released!
If you are playing now, refresh to see it!
If you notice something wrong, please send me the feedback, this is super important!
I hope you like it! 😊📱
[NEW FEATURE]
🔮What would be your future when you folded that hand?
Now Poker Now allows you to see what would be the next community cards when the action is over! Also known as "Rabbit Hunting" 🐰.
🎃🎃 Jack-O-Lantern passing here to tell you that Samuel (the dev, know?) is finally working on a way to save your game configurations, so you will not need to type the blinds and other configurations every time you create a game.
It will land pretty soon. 😈
[🚀NEW FEATURE]
💰You are finally free from Excel when doing payouts. With the integrated ledger, you will receive a complete report about the stacks changes and the net values (this only works in games created in version 0.1.59 or above).

🏆After a long wait, the private Multi-Table Tournament feature is here!
We wrote a tutorial explaining how to host your tournament using this new feature.
We hope you like it!
👉
🛠️ A lot of you were requesting to unseated players being able to see the undealt cards when the rabbit hunting feature is enabled, and we just sent an update to allow this. Thank you for the feedback on this.
🔧We just sent a fix for a bug where some players were being shown as "offline" but they were able to play normally. This was also causing the room ownership removal even when the owner wasn't off-line. Sorry for the inconvenience.
🎉NEW FEATURE🎉
Now you can do live STRADDLE at Poker Now! At this first version will be a classic straddle of 2 big blinds at the under the gun position.
You will need to define if you want to do the auto straddle at your player preferences.
Hey
@discord
, please do the bot intents whitelist that I am begging for almost 10 days. There's a lot of people wanting to use the Poker Now Discord bot. Hit me up on DM for the ticket ID. 😢
[UPDATE]
Now the room owner can define chips addition, chips removal, or define a new stack value at the next hand, making the owner's life easier when doing chips add-ons without messing up the values of the stacks.
Hi, has been a while, huh? We are pretty close to the fourth Poker Now anniversary (17th September), and I have good news for you all. We finally going to start the multi-table tournament feature closed tests. Follow the thread for more info. 🧵
This past month Poker Now was home to 450,000 monthly active users around the world. Thank you for being a part of the world’s fastest growing poker community...

alleging that we have a risker operation.
Follow the thread🧵👇🏻
🚀 We just sent a small, but well-requested adjustment.
Now when seeing the game in big blind values (just press "b" to toggle it) the bet input will allow you to type the bet value in big blinds!
🧵 [thread] 🧵
Let me know a thing.
What do you think about Poker Now allowing the owner to put some unseated player in "god mode" to see the game as a spectator (seeing all hole cards)?
Good news! Looks that I managed to fix the last memory leak that was causing the server crash, even with low load. Now the doors will stay open until I feel that I need to close, it can be because of bugs, load or anything else.
Are you a new bitcoin millionaire?? 🤑🤑
😅 How about share some of it to help the Poker Now development?

Unfortunately, the video/voice provider that Poker Now uses is blocking our integrated usage. As a workaround, we have changed to a video chat sidebar. We know this is not the experience that you want, but it's outside our control. We will work to bring it back, but no ETA.
👻🚫 No more ghosts at the table when playing with video chat.
📹 Now you will be able to see the video of the not seated players (the spectators).
If you are playing right now, please reload the page. ;)
✅ Better buttons color contrast: the buttons now have new colors and bold text to improve the contrast to help people with visual disabilities, although I know that it still has some flaws that I plan to attack in the future 🚦
And yes, I (Samuel) still working on the multi-table tournament feature, hahaha.
This is a hard feature that pulls a lot of other features, this scene reproduces pretty much my life in the last months. 😅
