Update: Due to the latest bug making players able to break the table, I will await inviting more beta testers until that is solved. Thank you all for finding ways to break the game. It's why BETA is a good thing. 😎
You may still write below to get beta access, and I will invite you as soon as I have solved this issue.

I first announced HF Poker v1 a little over one year ago.
Since then I took it down to revamp it, and now it's about time for me to launch again with the improved platform.

Features:
- HF Login
- Play with real bytes (not real bytes until the official launch)
- Mobile Friendly UI
- Simple Animations
- Simple Sounds
- Player Game Statistics
- Chat with other players at the table
- Texas Hold 'em Game Style
- Ohama Hold 'em Game Style (closed for bug fixing)
- Sit 'n Go Games
- Cash Games Tables (closed for bug fixing)
- Play against bots like Stanley for his bytes
- Free bytes on signup (for certain user groups only, upgraded + sponsored groups)
- Instant byte deposit (during beta, I will refund any deposits)
- Instant byte withdrawal (disabled during beta)
- No House Cuts (table owners can set their own cut, it will be shown on the table and lobby page for users to be aware)
- Multiple table styles
- Auto-kick inactive players from tables (was a huge issue on the last site)
- Auto-kick disconnected players (no connection, no reason to wait for too long to kick)

Future plans:
- Tournaments
- Host your own tables
- Host your own tournaments
- Host your own bots

Current issues
- Bots get stuck in check mode when all users folded in Ohama Hold 'em (checking without going to the next phase)
- Withdrawal bytes not working (currently disabled)
- Cash game table enters a state where no one can enter a seat
- Some UX issues on mobile (looking for ideas please)
- Raising Bar not fitting content
- Non-table pages are not really looking any good, focus has been entirely on poker table and game mechanics for now.

Bots:
I am placing bots in most of the tables, except the "human" table will never contain any bots.
Bots will not start the game, it requires a player to join a seat and start a game before the bots become active.

Wanna join beta:
Reply to this thread, please say if you have experience with poker or general game testing.
I expect everyone joining beta to be willing to provide feedback and report bugs.

Graphics:
The graphics are pre-made, I am looking for custom graphics.

Bonus:
Everyone in beta that provides valuable information will be granted some extra bytes on launch.

Screenshots:

Notice During Beta:
You will NOT be able to withdraw bytes during the beta.
Accounts and bytes are reset upon official launch.
Byte deposits can still be done to get in-game bytes to play with, I will refund the on-HF bytes manually, so you won’t lose the bytes deposited.

Looks absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to see this get activity used.

Really nice project brother, will be spending some bytes soon, congrats on this awesome game.

[Despize]

This looks crazy hopefully this gets some attraction!

I would like to join beta, This looks awesome.
I will have to get some bytes first.

I have some experience playing poker.

I remember the discussion about this last year, definitely interested in the beta.

[Omniscient]

Wow, this is amazing. Checking it out now.

EDIT: Seems to be working pretty good. I think some minor adjustments to design for the buttons (CALL, CHECK) should be done. Not a fan of that glow-dropshadow, if anything make that the hover css instead.

Something also about the money either it's too small or some adjustments to the font or color. Just needs adjusting. Maybe go with a black box with a white or slightly off-white font color. I think the current contrast doesn't work.

Great work though. Hope this is big for you. Already tweeted this out to Muskville.

That's some timing, just started the planning phase on designing poker cards for a HF poker game idea. Might as well share em with you when I finish them.

[Juoku]

I'm already playing the beta, I've been a skull fan from the first second I saw how skilled he is!
Amazing work as always, I've played on mobile so far and I'll give it a go on both PC and Mobile snd write a documentation of any UX improvements or bugs I find!

I think this is an awesome add on to the existing HF games and will be greatly used for tournaments, competitions and group / HF events, looking forward to seeing the future of HF as I'm sure it's going to be amazing 😍

[DashPHP]

I remember you saying you were going to bring this back alive, and here we are!! LFG!

Had a great time on the BETA and gave you some feedback. Overall very excited for the official release !!

Thanks Omniscient

I will revamp the buttons, might post here later with options to hear what members prefer.
And general some minor alignment is still to be done.

Appreciate the feedback.
And thanks for the Muskville tweet 😎

Oh that would be really cool @Hydra@
I will of cause leave full credits.

I was already planning to hire someone for custom graphics, current graphics is premade and bought.

Huge upgrade to the current Blackjack game, insane work Skull.

Not really comparing it with Blackjack. Different game, different rules.

[Cooligan]

Holy shit skull , this is awesome! I love the UI as well, the chat box looks nice and modern. Is there table customization as well?

Also do you plan on implementing contracts via HF's API into it for automatic Bytes deposits/withdrawals?

Overall excellent work brotha ✅

[Lilith]

Damn, that looks amazing. As expected from you skull
