I like it. I might try it out soon since I love everything poker-related. I have been playing poker ever since high school, and till nowadays, I still do. Before, I used to always play in casinos but ever since the Covid started, I started to gamble online. I found a really cool place https://holdemtour.com that had poker and slots games. Ever since that day, I have played there at least three times a week. Even though the casinos are opening now, I still won’t stop online gambling.

I've always enjoyed the social element of a good friendly poker game. With shelter in place, video calls just weren't scratching that same itch. I rushed to build a no-limit hold-em poker app that merges video chat with elements of risk. I've spent too many hours playing over the past week with my friends and colleagues that I wanted to open this up to the world. Hope that this brings some sense of normalcy to you all. (NOTE: This uses Twilio for video, so for longer games, I'm trying to pass some of the cost on so I don't go too broke. Happy to open source once I clean it up a bit as well).
