Zynga Poker - Texas Holdem Wiki

First off I enjoy the app quite a bit. And these are the small issues I have with the app. 1) flaw in min buy ins. Let’s say that it’s a 100M buy in with 10M min buy in. You have people sit with min and then go all in with risk of only 10M. Most tables people don’t buy max buy in they buy min. This creates a situation where people that have bought in higher would like to play a hand. But don’t want to risk 10M because of donk player. Or the flop is Q94 and you have AQ. You bet and donk goes all in with 95 and hits a 9 on the river or a 5 because there was no risk. For him. You can’t push him out of the pot with your A Q. I would like to see tables with max and min buy in the same. Meaning a 100m buy in Room with blinds of 1m. You can’t sit with more or less. 2). I try to sit at table and there are no players. Meaning only empty rooms. I don’t want to start a table so I keep looking. No tables with players. So I go into recent players I have played with and I see players playing in the tables I’m looking for. I join and there are two seats available. Why didn’t they show when I was searching. With two seats. It should have shown. It’s like the app wants me to start a table and doesn’t want me sitting in a table with three players. On a 5 player table. Other than these issues. I love the game. Hopefully developers look at this and take into consideration.

This app has the best option for tournament tables I love em. I do like how poker heat gives you the option to show yours cards to everyone after each hand but I deleted that app because the dealing is crap too many big hands An irritating app but this app seems decent with dealing. Adding to my review I want to point out that with the tickets we win. It’s hard to build your tickets as it is so when you bet a lot just to reach enough to open the gold safe I don’t think it should give you just the same amount of chips as if you opened the silver or bronze There should be a min amount in each safe I mean really. It takes 30 tickets for the gold safe That’s double the silver. It’s not easy to gain tickets. Maybe something can be done about that. And tournament tables chip winnings You should tell us the amount we win Cause that’s how it’s setup. But you don’t get that amount. You only get half that because it is adding how much you spend to get into the table. So if the table winnings are 100m. You really only get 50m. if you win because you put in 50m. to play So you just make the table seem more exciting to the eye with a bigger pot to win This is on spin and win But overall still good dealing Like playing this app more than others. Good

I like the app but I have 2 issues. 1. I used 2 Gb of data yesterday watching videos getting chips... way too much data... 2. The players go all in way too often. It’s really lame. Can’t play a good game of poker when there’s not much at stake. It’s hard to play for 3 hours building a stack slowly and being selective when people “all in” with a 3 9 off suit. Just wouldn’t see that that consistently in a 4 real stakes game. They wouldn’t last a day. Thing is here they just do it then reup immediately if they lose and sit at same table. Suggestion...if u “all in” and lose you should be rerouted to a new table and banned from the table u currently were on. For a 5 minute period... just like u had to walk to the atm and somebody grabbed ur seat. I just think that that may help with these annoying gnats that get in way of playing a hand. I’m gonna stop playing it’s just not fun they ruined it for me. Note: I do understand buying the pot but seriously way too consistent with crappy hands that just happen to get the flop. And if they don’t they are still there 1 hand later doing the same thing....over and over

It’s a great app if they could control the players that come into steal your money by going all in when you’re at a table just to play. I would’ve given it a 5 star rating if it weren’t for this problem. But, it can be very frustrating with the players who try to manipulate the game. When I first started playing, you could play with people from all over the world, and have a relaxing evening of playing poker. But, now when a new player sits down at your table, you have to be alert for clues that they intend to steal the blinds or as much of your chip stack as possible. They go All In, and if you don’t have a strong hand you have to fold to them and they keep doing it every hand, over and over. I hope this doesn’t sound completely negative. It is a great app! They created, in my opinion one of the best poker sites out there and I think I’ve tried them all. Don’t let a few bad seeds ruin it for you because every once in a while, you can sit down with other players that just want to play, have a fun game night and make new friends from all over the world.

Ive been a zynga poker player ever since facebook was the new thing, before smartphones were even relevant. and over the years ive switched to the mobile version and its been really good! however a month or so ago i redownloaded the app only to discover how escalated the amount of ads are. i mean i understand, free apps need ads for revenue and its only fair but it becomes an issue when an ad plays when you exit a table then again when you play the lottery game. im sorry zynga, but im sure the app you have is not that reliant on ads for its continued production. whats more annoying is that after the ad is done, my music doesnt play again. I need to manually exit the app and open my music app to be able to play again. another issue is the “challenges” tab when youre in-game. sometimes, when you complete a few challenges without exiting to the lobby, it lags and stops opening, meaning i can no longer work on the newer challenges. I need to manually exit the table, get baited by an ad, open the challenges tab, collect my rewards and sit at another table. its really annoying, especially when you dont want to leave the table youre playing on. this is my first app review, ive never written a review before. I did today because these issues are so frustrating. id expect these pesky little bugs from so many new and upcoming apps nowadays, but not from an A-level app that you expect the best from.

Good poker app but they won’t fix the basic things that could make it better. First, the “Check” button is right where the “Call” button appears when someone bets or raises. So if you are about to check, you may find yourself calling a bet or a raise - unintentionally. The check button should be offset so this never happens. I have called so many raises I didn’t mean to and of course, none of those have ever won. Second, you should have an option to show hand or show a card after the table has folded. This is a basic card room move that can keep people guessing even more if you play it right. Last, I’m not so sure the deal is 100% random. I’m not saying it’s fixed or there are shills, bots or the like, but it’s often amazing how the hands come out. I hate to cast doubt but I’ve played nearly 200,000 hands and have learned to expect the worst bad beats based on the fact that so many of the hands seem to be dealt solely to draw action. In other words, the worst hands catch up more than any live poker room I’ve been in. This could also be because there’s no real money at stake so people with bad hands don’t face the risk of losing real money and will bet, raise and call any and everything.

Gambling games are fun but once you realize that aspects that are supposed to be luck based are actually rigged it makes it hard to enjoy. The prof is the mega lucky bonus slot machine. Here’s how it works for me. When I have a 10% daily login bonus I end up winning about a million chips. I get like 50-70k, then a x15-20 multiplayer, then the 10% bonus. That’s fine. The problem is when I get to a 400% daily login bonus. Ever since I reached that it’s been the same. Win 20-30k, then a x5-8 multiplier, then the 400% bonus and I win about a million chips. So the idea seems to be that when the daily bonus is low, you win big and get a big multiplier. When the daily bonus is high, you win small and get a very small multiplier so you constantly find yourself winning the same amount no matter what the daily bonus happens to be. Now that wouldn’t be a big deal but since you know it’s rigged in that aspect, you would be smart to assume it’s also rigged in others. Do people who pay more real money for chips get better hands? Will they find themselves catching flushes and straights more often than someone else? It’s all questionable at that point.

I used the app to learn the basics of poker, after playing a few games for real money, in real life, though I learned some key things that are different. People on the app will get you used to the rules of poker, BUT, if you go to a casino this app only shows you the methods and strategies of dealing with people who don’t care about losing money. Aka, the people who bet wildly and disrupt actual players there to win. These people show major tells with almost their betting alone. Due to the fact they are not at all worried about the money loss. In that aspect this game is perfect for learning to deal with and minimize the losses these types of people could ensue. Play with warning though. At a real game with real people you cannot play like you do in this game. You will lose every time. Coming on to my 18th positive outcome in a row with only 1, my first game, being negative. That is the best information I can give concerning this game. In short, it is great at learning how to deal with the pesky daddy’s piggy banks that will show up to a table, but to play with actual players, you need to play actual games for actual money. It is a completely different mindset.

I’ve played all three major poker apps, W**P, P***r S***s, and Zynga. On all three apps, I’ve never purchased chips, and I have a high bank in chips built up over thousands of hands of play, so what I say next is not spoken from the bitterness of having lost my play money. My experience on W**P is mostly unpleasant, with its unrealistic dealing of an excess of paired boards and runner-runner suits on the turn and the river. And while tournament play on P***r S***s is better with slower rising blinds, I wouldn’t recommend playing the so-called cash format there. Thus far, Zynga has been the most fun, mostly because it has the most familiar card dealing experience in comparison with a live deck. One criticism I would lay here is that if you try to collect the free chips and spins by watching videos, beware that sometimes there’s no way to close out the video ad to get back into the poker app without being pushed into the download screen for the advertised app. A new criticism is that after finshing play with Sit and Gos, Zynga has started showing me ads before I return to the “lobby”; this is a very disappointing development.

It is setup up to create more bet action only way to accomplish this is dealer has to know who has what and that is cheating setup cards no way it’s random gen if dealer is dealing to create more or less action it’s cheating random gen is throw cards in air and deal them as they fall not pick and chose who gets the winning card i get a flush and lose to a full house is almost impossible but it happens every day and not just because you try and say it’s because we play more hands cause I don’t I will play 30 hands win 4 times and have chip lead then lose every hand no matter what until chips are gone then you will win again how is this random gen no way it’s controlled deals to make action but you wil consistently say it’s random gen when all you have to dis play your own game to figure out it’s not random gen I had to file bankruptcy because I played for real money and they cheated me out of thousands and on casino games it’s worse they adjust so you win minimum bets @ $1 50% so you bump bet and lose every bet drop bet to min and you win a little at a time bump bet you lose all chips and every hand but they will swear it’s random gen it’s cheating no matter how you toss it

I’ve see it too. I’ve played Zynga close to 10 years now. Not only do they have the same boring gifts to send each other & ridiculous avatars, their slot while is definitely rigged. I spin it multiple times daily & never once get a decent paying spin using gold or not. The worst is how there seems to be hot seats. I’ll see the same player hit repeatedly while i spend hours some days just hoping for something better than “one pair”, or see the same player repeatedly win on the river when they could not possibly be that lucky that many times in a row. Update...today was another example of how rigged this game is. I logged on about 5 separate times for at least an hour each times. In that total of 5 hours and about 100 hands played i only won maybe 5 of the 100. Of those 5 only one was actually a decent hands. For hours it didn’t matter what i had someone else on the table had it slightly better. I even tried the spin and win to change it up....one guy blows his chips and loses so it’s down to me and one other heads up. I bet he won a good 15 hands to my 1. Seeing everyone else complain of this definitely lets me know that this is not a coincidence.

Absolutely horrible! Have been playing for over ten years and recently they have started over or double billing me. I mean hundreds in days, and I do not buy that many chips! I got an Apple Card so I could keep track, but they stopped sending transaction alerts and in TWO days, the $1500 card had been maxed out! I am going back and forth with iTunes and Zynga, each saying it’s not their fault. I’ll buy a package one day and another a next, and in a week I’ll get a receipt with several charges on it. They do that so that you can’t dispute it because it’s possible to have made the purchases for some. I’ve had to get my money back twice, now they’ve stopped. Since then I started taking screenshots of each purchase along with the date, even with that neither will refund my money. I’m disabled and this is what I do to make the day go by, plus my friends are all on Zynga poker otherwise I’d play another. Sad thing is I know and can prove they’re double-billing me but they won’t return the hundreds that they’ve taken. If you buy chips beware, make sure you notate the date and time and take a screenshot if you can, but even doing that can’t assure that you’ll be compensated for the overcharge. It’s sad, you spend a lot of real money on fake chips and they still try and get more from you. Take my advice and don’t buy chips...

I use to love playing poker but now everything has change. Now when I go to a table I can’t communicate with anyone because they talk a different language. So it’s pretty much no more talking and laughing at a table. Very boring. Also there is a lot of passing of chips on the table. They will sit with max buyin and pass it to their buds while you just sit and lose to them because you don’t have the cards to go max buy in. Another thing a few of my friends have been banned for staying at their tables. I have had 7 of my buds suspended in the last month and they don’t pass chips so not sure what’s going on there??????????????? Plus a lot of my buds have quit playing because of what’s going on, and it’s impossible to make new friends because we can’t understand eachother so I will probably quit soon myself. Update on this all of my friends have been suspended plus myself. I was playing Spin n Win and they jerked me straight out of the game n suspended me. My VIP emailed back that he review my account and summitted it to be reviewed and reinstated. After a week, two more emails I received the standard email how I was buying chips? When as many innocent people they are ripping off.......I don’t think they should not even offer this app in the Apple store

The gameplay & graphics are fine. What made me leave was them draining my bank anytime I sat @ a cash game table. The higher up you play, the more they drain. Had 40M just gradually bleed off during one of my last sessions. After I saw a 100M+ jus disappear, I was done. If you don’t believe me, monitor your bank (they call it your “wallet”) while you’re at a cash game table. You’ll notice it shrinking more and more the longer you stay regardless of what’s happening @ the table. Only way to avoid it was to keep moving to different tables before it happened. Contacted CS & offered to send them screen caps of it happening - they didn’t deny it. They pointed out the house rake (the amount disappearing was often 20% of my max buy-in and crept up to as much as half. No way that’s rake. And if it is, why is it being taken from my bankroll instead of the pots I win the way rake is usually collected?) and comped me some chips. Was a decent amount. More than I claimed had been drained. But what good is that if they’re just going to bleed you off again? I guess it’s their way of making you buy chips from them. Do yourself a favor and play on a different, more honest app. Literally no other app I’ve played does this.
