All-in or FoldĪll-in or Fold is a clever game and effectively simulates a short-stack situation in a tournament.

Once per game, you can “burn” five cards, getting rid of them for new ones, and “shuffle” the grid to rearrange all 25 cards.Īt the end, there is a 15-second bonus round in which you try to find the hand in the grid that is better than a full house. There’s a balance between trying to find the top hands like straight flush and four of a kind and just completing hands to earn whatever points you can. It’s kind of like doing a word search speed run. You have two minutes to score as many points as possible used cards disappear and new ones fall into the grid.

A high card hand does not count, only pair and above. Obviously, any five cards can make a hand, but the goal here is to create the strongest hands possible to achieve high scores. Cards are laid out in a 5×5 grid and your job is to use your finger to trace a path through five cards and form a poker hand. The Poker Grid mini-game is a test of reading hand rankings. The games are actually pretty fun, even though they are just teaching basic poker hand reading. Advancing through the levels opens up challenges to tackle. There is also a leveling system like we see in most mobile games. All three games have point systems and allow you to check leaderboards and your own score history on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. It focuses on understanding hand strength using three mini-games.Īside from the clever design of the mini-games, one aspect of the app that kept my attention, even though I am not a beginner and therefore not really the intended audience, is that it feels like a mobile game and not just a learning app. Poker DoJo is a poker training app targeted to novice players. And even more interesting, it is actually for poker players in the United States (and the UK). PokerStars released an interesting new mobile app today for iOS and Android called Poker DoJo.
