Suggestion
Nit suggestions :p
Hi PokerNow team, First off, I just want to say I’m a huge fan of PokerNow. I use the site almost daily with friends and have probably spent way too many hours on it — which is a testament to how great the product is. Thank you for all the work that goes into maintaining and improving it. I wanted to share a few feature ideas that have come up during our games. These are just suggestions — overall, we already love the platform and the stats/features you provide. ⸻ 1. Simplified ledger on game close When a game ends, it would be amazing to show a simplified settlement ledger (similar to Splitwise), so players can easily see who owes whom and how much. This would make post-game transactions much smoother. ⸻ 2. Faster dealing for Double Board Bomb Pot PLO We sometimes play exclusively Double Board Bomb Pot PLO, and the dealing animation can feel a bit slow since cards are dealt one by one to each player. A “quick deal” or “skip dealing animation” option that jumps straight to post-flop action would be fantastic for these formats. ⸻ 3. Equity percentages for PLO all-ins Currently, equity percentages are shown for NLH when everyone is all-in. It would be great to see the same equity display for PLO hands as well. ⸻ 4. Game speed & offline handling I really love the custom clock and time bank features. One idea to further improve game flow: • Automatically mark players as “away” (or sit them out) if they are offline when action is on them. Sometimes players step away without realizing it, and everyone has to wait or the admin has to manually remove them. Automating this would help keep games moving smoothly. ⸻ 5. More game variations We’d love to see more poker variants or side games introduced, for example: • Nit game • 5-card PLO • Drawmaha We really enjoy switching things up and would love even more variety. ⸻ 6. Live stats The stats generated after games (usually the next day) are super helpful. It would be awesome to also have some lightweight live stats at the table (beyond the “hands won” badge), such as VPIP and PFR. Even basic versions would be very fun and useful. ⸻ 7. Stat breakdown by table size This might be harder to implement, but it would be really interesting to see stats broken down by table size. For example, VPIP heads-up vs 6-max vs full-ring. Right now, stats appear to be calculated across all hands played, but seeing context (e.g. 60% VPIP heads-up vs 11% 8-handed) would add a lot of insight. ⸻ These are just ideas from very happy, frequent users — overall, we absolutely love PokerNow and really appreciate the features and stats you already provide. Also, if PokerNow is open-source or accepts community contributions, I’d love to help out if possible. Thanks again for building such an awesome platform, Rachel

First off, we definitely appreciate the feedback. That being said, it would be really nice if these were each their own suggestion so the community could upvote the ones they are interested in. Some have already been mentioned (like Nit game and PLO5) so upvoting those would have more impact. Being grouped into a single feedback item like this is going to make it very hard to track what the community is interested in from this list.
