Pokerrrr 2- Holdem, OFC, Omaha Wiki

Whether you are casual or competitive this is a good format to play against friends and strangers alike. Going to see all kinds of levels of players here so lots of opportunity to improve your game. As for talk of does the game produce action hands, I think this is mostly a volume issue and anyone who plays online enough knows you will see so many more hands, anything that can happen will happen over and over and sometimes in clusters. I run for weeks with nothing “unusual” happening then you see quads over quads etc happen multiple times in a night. It happens people. Also, if you are not winning, Look to yourself first before you blame software would be my number one advice. Poker is an easy game to play but it is not a “solved game” and you can spend the rest of your life slowly improving your game. Highly recommend pokerrrr 2 as a place to work on your game while you wait for card rooms to open in your area if you are a live game player as many games here play much more like a live game than a regular online game.

I’ve got around a 1,000 hands in so far and it’s my favorite poker app among the others I’ve used the past year like WSOP’s app, Zynga Poker, etc. I really like the design’s simplicity compared to other poker apps that choose to be as shiny and colorful as possible while I’m just trying to play a chill game of poker during my lunch break. I’ve only played the regular 5-handed NLH games, so I don’t have experience with the custom games, but the player base is by the far the least poker “bingo” all in I’ve seen before compared to other free poker apps. Maybe about 33-66% of my matches are nicely occupied by players who don’t play like they don’t care about losing their virtual money which is really nice for me. The higher the stakes, the more serious and challenged the average competition for sure. I really wish there was an option to add random players tho into a friends list so we can play each other again. Maybe it could be limited to 3 friends per public table so as not to take away the advantage of the custom game feature. I also really enjoy the lack of constant advertisements unlike in the WSOP app. I love the ability to see my record of earnings and losses. I get way too nervous playing poker in real life so I really appreciate having a good poker app on my phone. Thanks pokerrr 2 team!

We started to use Pokerrrr when everything shut down. We were playing Big O live 2-3 times a week at a local card house. Pokerrrr is great because it offers the features we need, but does not have the extremely high “built in” costs present with other popular online poker platforms. I definitely recommend it. I will say that our players, who are very savvy and play on other sites, do perceive “action run outs”. Many live players perceive this when moving to online because they see so many more hands. I do NOT believe it favors players, but may generate more action to make the platform more fun to use. As far as features, multi tabling and native support for say MacOS are my two top ones (and yes I use emulators).

Been using this app to play with old poker buddies across US during quarantine. Not quite as many bells and whistles as some websites but virtually zero rake. Costs around $2 to host 9 player tourney. Bout $1/hr for cash games. Split between players, it’s well worth it. Would be nice to have more game options (they have nlh, plo, short deck, ofc), albeit nlh and plo are my go tos. Mix game like razz would be cool. Game does fantastic job of keeping track of win/losses for easy payouts (tho the “payoff/calculate” function has been down for a few days for me). Timeouts/connectivity issues are usually well mitigated. Servers can get overwhelmed during peak hours on weekend, has taken me multiple times to sign into app, but once ur in it’s usually good. Read reviews claiming there’s unbelievable amount bad beats, and RNG is somehow rigged. This doesn’t make sense, and I imagine this was only an illusion for someone who played online vs live for first time: you play many more hands online, so your going to see a lot more coolers: quads vs boats, straight-flushes, compared to a live game.

The app for the most part works well aside from connection issues and timeouts , which are extremely and suspiciously coincidental in occurrence; most often when the player who times out is holding cards which, if allowed to play, would nearly always have significant influence on the hand, how it is played, and far more often than not, the play who timed would have won the hand regardless of the number of players involved at the occurrence of the time out. Further. It is not uncommon to receive the exact same hole three to four hands in a row. The algorithm continuously rewards players who habitually raise 3x blinds or more preflop with flops including straight and flush draws enticing betting before eventually revealing a river card providing the winning hand to the aggressor throughout, regardless of the strength of hand at any time. It’s fun, flawed, and free. And the history stores only 30 days of days, which would easily be changed.

This is a fun app with a great UI, and the devs are always adding new challenges and features to it to try to keep it interesting. My main complaint is that the rake is ridiculously high: they take something like 10% of the pot, uncapped, regardless of the stakes, so if you’re playing in the biggest game and you chop a 2MM chip pot, you and your opponent both lose 100K chips to the rake, which is insane. Yes, they have promos and jackpots to give you some chips back, but those don’t make up for the rake. Another longtime annoyance is that you can only play six-handed (Omaha and NLHE) unless you host your own game. It would be really easy to give the option to play nine-handed, but they never have. So what happens in practice is you often end up playing five- or four- or even three-handed against shorter-stacked opponents, which combined with the high rake makes it very hard to win. It would also be nice to be able to report people for harassment or spam in the in-game chat. You can mute other players but that’s it.

Overall I think this is a good app and I enjoy playing on it. There is definitely some immediate area for improvement that I love to to see the developers work on. 1)Multi-tables: at the moment, you can only play at one table at a given time. The app should allow players to switch between multiple tables/games going on in different clubs. This is a pretty basic feature that most other Poker apps/sites offer and should definitely be added as a feature to Pokerrr 2 2) run it thrice/twice/once by hand: at the moment players have to choose whether they want to run it once or twice in their game settings. The app should allow players he choice to run it up to 3 times on a hand by hand basis if their opponent’s agree to. PokerBros has this feature and I think it’s something that Pokerrr 2 should add. The choice to run it multiple times is a strategic decision and being restricted to the same decision across all hands is not ideal.

Great App. My friends and I have been using this app in lieu of our monthly face to face game from the time the COVID restrictions began. There are two issues for me. Issue one. Does not work in landscape on the iPad. Working in landscape would allow for split screen so another application like Zoom could be running side by side. My friends and I have a Zoom session open when we are playing, for those that have an iPad, it would be great to split the screen and utilize just one device instead of 2 devices. Issue 2. The app intermittently loses connectivity, which may cause you to miss out on playing a hand or two. This is happening much less, there has been great improvement. However when it happens, it is very frustrating. Fix issue one and this app gets 5 stars from me. I know there are a lot of variables with connectivity issues, it is obvious that issue 2 was / is being addressed.

The cost to host games is without a doubt the best in the industry. Their customer service has not been great and it’s hard to get answers to questions such as why my hosting rights were penalized. You’d think answers to this specific matter would be prioritized but it’s been over a month without a proper answer. There are now quite a few apps that have features that are essentiall in the mobile environment. Being able to play in multiple tables on the same device is something every other competitor has implemented at launch. Then the updates that are done are head shaking honestly (colors, in store purchase additions). The next update should absolutely prioritize toggling between tables on the same device, being able to change game details while game is going (such as straddle options). Also, being able to make certain rooms within clubs private with codes.

Any review that states the algorithm is fine is either mistaken or clueless. Even the so called “15 year casino players”. This game can be quick resulting in more hands but that doesn’t translate well when a showdown has two players with full houses and two players with quads. I play in a club so we have much longer turn meters and do not play nearly as many hands yet we still have a very disproportionate amount of heavy hands. These aren’t just “bad beats”. These are loaded hands to force action. You can’t describe it any other way. I have been playing poker for 30 years. Until this app I had seen one straight flush and never a royal flush. Using this app, straight flush is common and I’ve seen two royal flushes. You have to question when you have quads because another player might still have the nuts. I don’t care who “certified” this as random. It is anything but. With that said, the app functions and doesn’t crash too often so I give it two stars rather than one. I will continue to use it because this is where my club resides but I can’t wait until we play again in person or find another app.

Echoing the statements here: the app concept is great, and I’m happy to pay for gold coins for hosting friend games ... which my poker crew did! That said I do not believe the distribution of cards and hands is random. In our friend group cash game (we play for real stakes using Venmo), we had 9 players. One time, At the end of the night literally 1 guy won all the money ... note this wasn’t a tournament. People kept buying back in but this one seat won every hand over a 5 hour session. We’ve played as a group many times over the years and that’s never happened in real life. I’m talking set over set, AA over KK, river straight cracking AA, nut flush over middle flush. In contrast, I’ll often be dealt the same 9-3 offsuite hand 4 times in a row... also unusual. The devs claim this app is certified with a true random number generator (RNG), but if that is the case, then there is either a bizarre bug or some other behavior in their system dealing high action cards to certain seats.

I am disgusted by this app and will never spend money on it again. What should be a very positive poker experience (quality interface, easy to use) is many times overshadowed by horrible users. Far too often do I come across people with racist and derogatory names, or who verbally abuse people with the chat function. How do you not have a “name screener” or the ability to “report abuse or malicious behavior“? Just yesterday there was someone who was playing under the name “Filthy N-word”. This is completely unacceptable and shows me that the app developers have no regard for anything other than to make money off the players. Gameplay on this app is among the best I’ve seen from an interface perspective, but there are too many blockbuster hands whereby you can deplete your chips very easily because someone will hit an insane hand on the river. I expect the developers do this so that you have to buy more chips regularly. That would be fine, I understand the point of an app is to make money, but the completely racist behavior that is unregulated by the app has cemented it for me that I will not give them another dollar of my money and encourage others to do the same.

Thousands of Holdem and Omaha sites have the basic mechanics of the game perfected. This developer can’t even fix the following very common situation that I’ve never seen on any other app or website. If the big blind gets eliminated, moves tables, or just leaves; the next hand is dealt in a way that completely screws up how these games work. The button will stay in the same spot, the previous hand’s small blind stays in the same spot but doesn’t pay small blind, and the big blind is where it’s supposed to be. Doesn’t sound like much but now the small blind is the first to act every time after the flop, when they should have the button position and a dead small blind position. This totally throws off strategies and greatly affects how late stage tournaments play out when blinds are really high. If you’re confused, why are you reading a poker review and how have you got this far? This is poker 101 and they don’t bother to fix it. Not to mention the constant unrealistic run outs in their cash games to keep the action moving. Not an authentic rng at all

I love poker so much. I love it even more when I play with friends. It’s a perfect mix of having fun with serious competition. I am 24 years old and have played a lot in the last 4 years and continue to play until my time is up. With quarantine, we were overwhelmed with joy to find this application. It is all a fallacy. The software and platform is amazing. So easy to use and realistic. The odds and hands they deal are total fraud. It is 100% obvious that they keep hands close between 2-4 players each hand, with flush, straight, boat, and quad chances ALWAYS present. And they do it in heart breaking fashion, like giving you a 3 of a kind on the river but that same 9 gives someone else a straight. I tested it yesterday and I played 30 hands, 15 of them ended in a straight, flush, 3 of a kind, or full house. If you know poker, you know that does not happen. So, to wrap up, If you are a beginner and want to learn the game, sure, use this app. Anything else, and you just will not be playing real poker. It’s a shame they do no fix the app because, as mentioned, the user face is 10/10
