Gret work!
I kind of wish that after each hand the CPU would reveal right away so you don't have to wait until the end to see how you're doing.
I opened the game up on the other webpage and realized you're supposed to see the cards. So much was explained. xD
No idea why that happened - maybe cause I'm on Opera?
Regardless, the concept seems cool. Chaos is something I like and this seems to have buckets of it.
Well done. :D
I really like the way the cards scatter around each deal. super cool. The sound effects are nice as well
I enjoyed the gameplay of rushing to create good enough poker hands, with the card pool dwindling each deal. It did feel like it kind of simpflied to picking a number or two and looking for matches of them in the pile. That's not good enough to beat the hard or perhaps medium ai, but I don't feel like i have time to meaningfully do anything else {except for probably going for flushes, which I suspect is actually the dominant strategy here}
