About this game

Play online poker and see your equity (winning probability) as you play!

iPoker (informed Poker) is a free social (no real-money) online Texas Hold'em poker app that shows your equity while you play with other players. You can use this information to make more informed decisions (hence the name).

This is a social game and no real money is involved in any form, i.e., all the bet amounts and winnings or losses are in digital chips, not real money. The app helps you improve your poker skills by showing your winning probabilities as a percentage, calculated based on your hole cards and the community cards. The app keeps updating this number during each hand, with an initial number shown when you are dealt your hole cards, and then updated as new community cards are dealt. The app also shows the maximum call amount that results in a positive expected return (if such largest amount exists). If all call/bet amounts result in positive expected returns (i.e., when you have a large equity), this number is not shown on the screen. When this value is shown, betting as little as possible results in the largest expected return, and calling an amount larger than the number shown in this box results in negative expected return.

Note that the above statements are probabilistic, meaning that they should be interpreted as fractions or average winnings over a large number of trials. For example, a preflop equity of 85% for pocket aces with two players means that if the same hand (of pocket aces) is played a large number of times (e.g., one million times), then roughly 85% of the times (i.e., roughly 850,000 times out of those one million times), the pocket aces will win the pot. In other words, even in this very favorable scenario, there is 15% chance of losing (150,000 out of the one million in the example). In general, even with very high equity numbers, a given hand may end up losing in a single trial.

You can play simply by choosing a screen name. Your winnings and other stats (such as hands played and biggest win) will be available to you as long as you continue using the same device with the same account info. You can optionally add a login name and password when you create your screen name, in which case you will be able to carry your winnings to any other device.

You can select the stakes (small blind, big blind, and buy-in), as well as the game speed (relaxed, normal, or fast). The buy-in amounts range from as low as 1000 to as high as 1,000,000,000.

You can let the server pick a table for you based on your selections, or you can create or join a private table to play with your friends.

When you first join, you receive 100,000 free chips. You can get more free chips by watching a short video or inviting a friend, or you can purchase additional chips to be able to play at higher stake tables.

Ratings and reviews

I like the fact that this app shows your equity right there on the screen as you play with others. It's very convenient, and a great way to practice and learn about equity values for different hand combinations.

What makes this app unique compared to other poker apps on Play Store is the probabilities of winning shown in the bottom left corner of the screen. Using this app, you can have fun and improve your poker skills at the same time!

Cards are small in detail and hard to see proper. I find the fold, raise and check buttons are in the wrong places.
