Issues with the game
I know this is a relatively new game and I expect some of these issues are known about or being fixed in the next update, but I thought I would write out everything I've noticed in one post.
The action buttons:
- (Major issue) I cannot raise if I don't have enough chips for the minimum raise. I should be able to do this, letting me go all in as a raise no matter how little of a raise that is. This is standard for no limit holdem. It is possible to game this. That is, if my opponent has 200k chips and I don't want to shove for all of it, then I can put in 105k chips and their only options are call or fold. They can't reraise me, so I am effectively getting a cheaper shove if I so desire.
- I don't like how I can select "check" out of turn when it's not possible for me to check. It shouldn't be possible to click this unless checking is actually an option, in my opinion.
- I also don't like how the check button turns into the call button. I can very easily go to click that button and have a raise happen suddenly (especially with lag) and then accidentally call a bet. Because of these last two points, I just never auto-check.
- It is also sightly problematic to have the check/fold button become the fold button because if I click it the moment it becomes my turn, then I fold when maybe I could check.
- I don't like the third option being "call any." You have two very passive options (check/fold and check) and then a button that says "I will auto-call some dude blasting all in preflop with 10 J." You could instead have a "call XXX" button where XXX is the current bid. If someone raises, then it deselects and you have to click it again. You could also consider a "call up to" button.
Display issues:
I have seen the devs mention display issues before, so I expect these are in the process of being fixed, but thought I would state them explicitly.
- Sometimes I see the wrong cards flash when a player reveals their deck (edit: just saw this in game).
- Sometimes a player leaves, but their avatar and protectors remain and block out whoever comes next. This causes a bug where I can't see the chips or bids of the player who is sitting there.
Edit: added another point
