Looking for an online poker game I could play with my mates while having a beer and a chat (as we can't meet in person obviously!)
Preferably free, but if not that is ok. Needs to have audio. Prefer for PC as there is a mix of Android and Apple users.
Cheers!!!
I played yesterday lunch time with some friends in the Bay Area and New York (there Saturday evening) leveraging just zoom with video in combination with PokerTH desktop app. https://www.pokerth.net
They had played previous week using the ios/android app from http://pokerrrrapp.com - but it had connectivity issues yesterday - so we switched to PokerTH which was free. The other problem with the app is that it also needed some concept of 'gold' in order to host games - whereas PokerTH did not. You get some free gold to start, but it won't last long.
Anyway - as far as remote poker play with mates, the main negative of the whole experience was the lack of shared music being played (which you would normally have in an in-house game). It felt a bit sterile. Whilst we could speak to each other fine, you didn't want one person taking over the whole microphone thing by broadcasting audio.
<Edit> And I lost too :( 60 USD - which is like 1,000 AUD :)
