We wrote a blog post about the history of Bold Poker and how the new version came to be: https://boldpoker.net/blog/2015/...
And here’s an article about our experiences showing off the app at Úll conference this year: https://boldpoker.net/ull
Cheers and we hope you deal with it!
@msch The card deck designs evolved quite a bit over the previous versions of Bold Poker. It’s the third iteration now with each iteration taking about a week or two of time. They were all done by @maltino and we’re very happy with how they are now.
This is a fabulous idea and I am so mad I didn't think of it myself! Such a natural extension.
One thing that's not clear to me is if you also handle betting? If not, why not?
@taykcrane the app only replaces the cards, betting is still done with real chips. I think this is actually the strength of the app because it still makes it feel like real poker as opposed to a smartphone game.
@mkvlr That's a good point. But, online poker feels like poker too. I guess if I was sitting at a table with a computer anyway, I'd prefer it to also handle all the betting and chips, too. It can be such a pain without a dealer. But I get where you're coming from.
@taykcrane Time spent on handling bets is actually much less than time spent handling cards. Unless you have to start counting stacks with an all-in betting with chips is really fast as well. Please give it a try and let me know what you think.
Just tried this out with my iPad and 2 iPhones and it's incredible. Great job, I have already forwarded the link to my friends so we can play the next time we meet.
