I like it, but it relies on too much luck once all logical deduction is exhausted: I feel like it needs another clue source in there. Perhaps giving you a flop card for free would be enough. Another thing is to accept any answer that would explain the bronze/silver/gold. Or what would be cool is take WSOP actual games, show the action and the cards, and you guess the flop/turn/river.

Yes agreed. Had everything dialed in except a card that I only knew to be a spade and no helpful information from the ranks. Just had to exhaust my guesses numerically.

Got to this point as well. But it requires a certain amount of logic and intelligence to put together the process of elimination test efficiently. Got mine on try 6.

You get an additional clue that there are no “kickers” on the board. Quoting from the the help:

“No random kickers on the board - The rank of each board card will alway be a part of at least one player's hand in at least one phase. Note: "part of a hand" means the significant card(s) in: Pair, Two Pair, Three of a Kind or Four of a Kind (not kickers) TLDR: You may have to guess a card's suit with no clues, but not it's rank”

Wait, my pokle question was:

    Liz: Qd Qc, 2nd, 1st, 1st
    Riz: 4s 9s, 1st, 2nd, 3rd
    Siz: 10d Ad, 3rd, 3rd, 2nd
I got it in 5, and my answer had no spade in it. Did we have different pokles?

I had every rank from the first guess and then had to use two more guesses just to find the appropriate suits with the only information being that I needed to avoid putting a flush on the board.

I like it, and would be interested to see some entropy analysis like what 3bl1br did with Worldle when it first got popular.

Curious how the measurable information entropy changes with guesses across these different types of games... I have a feeling that while Wordle can get to a point where you're stuck with even guesses, I doubt it would happen as often as with this Pokle game.

Not sure if it's frequency bias, but when did the perceived "Poker == Texas Holdem" happen? I remember when I was learning about Poker as a kid/teenager in Europe I didn't hear about that variant, then I didn't play for a bit and suddenly there's only Texas Holdem.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Or they didn't want to use cookies for fear of GDPR :) ? But I'm not sure you can get off the GDPR hook by collecting IP addresses instead of setting cookies actually...

I wanted to view user's activities to make sure the puzzles aren't too easy or too hard. But seems using IP to do this is wrong.

I don't think there's anything wrong with storing the game state on the server, but you should use a session cookie rather than making it based on IP.

I certainly can't speak in general but I noticed it enter my circles of friends when the World Poker Tour and Celebrity Poker Showdown games started on TV ~2003. Around that time it seemed like everyone I knew was suddenly interested in Texas Hold'em (before that I had basically only ever played 5-card draw).
