Pocket Poker
Deal a hand online, or into the group chat.

Three poker games, played two ways: at fast online tables against real players, or dealt into the conversations you are already having, where everyone plays at their own pace.
Sit down in one tap and you are in the next hand; fold, and you are dealt straight into another. Ten leagues run from The Garage to Mount Olympus, the blinds climbing as you go. Between hands, the dealer teaches: the rules of every game, the ideas behind good play, and an AI trainer that deals you real spots and gives its verdict on each decision.
The games
-
Texas Hold’Em
Two hole cards each and five community cards shared across the flop, turn, and river, with a betting round at every street.
-
Omaha
Four hole cards each, and you must use exactly two of them plus three community cards to make your best five-card hand.
-
7 Card Stud
No community cards at all. A mix of face-up and face-down cards across several betting rounds, with a bring-in and antes in place of blinds.
Ways to play
-
Quick Play
Fast-fold tables online. Buy in from your chips, play as long as you like, and leave whenever you want. Step away and your seat waits a minute for you.
-
In Messages
Deal a hand into a conversation and play it turn by turn, one on one or with the whole group. A game can take an afternoon or a week.
-
Learn
The rules of each game, the concepts behind good play, and a free AI trainer that puts you in real spots and tells you how it would play them.
Chips
Everyone starts with 10,000 chips, and a stack that runs low refills itself, a chip at a time, back up to 10,000. For more, win them, watch a short ad (1,000 chips, up to five a day), or pick up a chip pack. There is no rake: every chip in a pot goes to the players who win it.
No real money, ever
Pocket Poker is a simulated card game. Chips can be bought, but they are for play only: they have no cash value and cannot be cashed out, transferred, or exchanged for money, prizes, or anything else of value. There is no wagering of real money or real-world items anywhere in the app.
What it costs
Every game is free. Chip packs and deck designs are optional, bought once through Apple’s own purchase system, and designs can be bought with chips too. A design bought here also unlocks in Card Games for iMessage.
Languages
Fully localized in more than 20 languages, following your device language automatically.
