A command line Texas Hold'em implementation.

This project is meant as a Texas Hold'em "trainer" for beginner players. It's a sandbox for trying out strategies and building an intuition for the probabilities involved in poker.

This is a personal project.

Play Instantly via SSH (no install)

You can play the game instantly in your terminal by connecting to the live server:

ssh play@poker.filiph.net

Note on First Connection:

When you connect for the first time, ssh will prompt you to verify the server's public key fingerprint:

The authenticity of host 'poker.filiph.net (....)' can't be established.
...
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?

To proceed, you must type the full word yes. Simply hitting Enter without typing yes may default to no on some systems, which leads to a Host key verification failed error.)*

Install

Homebrew (macOS / Linux)

Homebrew may ask you to trust the tap first. If it does, simply run brew trust filiph/tap as instructed by the terminal. Because pokerd compiles from source, you may also be asked to trust the official Dart programming language tap: brew trust dart-lang/dart.

brew trust dart-lang/dart
brew trust filiph/tap

After that, or if you've already trusted the taps above, just run:

brew tap filiph/tap
brew install pokerd

Pub.dev (macOS / Linux / Windows)

dart pub global activate pokerd
