Some features : i'm a bit confused 1 Year, 2 Months ago Karma: 0  
Hi, sorry for my poor english (i'm french).

1/ Beginner mode
I'm a beginner and i found this game very nice.
But as a beginner, i think some thinks could help : ie a beginner mode with help turns on.

* i'm somehow confused when other player win. Sometime i don't understand their hands (not enough time and i'm not too familiar with combinaisons).
I think that a pause could be fine and a more visible show of the winner's hand, perhaps with the hands displayed in text (ie full house). The winner's cards hands could also be more visible ?
For me it's the biggest "problem" i have playing the game, sometime i do not understand why the computer wins.

* also display for very beginner their possible hands and rate : ie the computer tell me a could probably made a "thrid of a kind of 8" with 32%... Of course it's just static prediction

2/ Statistic mode
A statistic mode could also be fine, to improve skill : with this option, my hands is rated in "pourcentage (%)" as we see on TV WPT.

3/ Translation
I played the 0.5 on Mac with french translation. But the translation is just about the menu and parameters, nothing in the game (main graphical window) is translated :it's only english. It would be more "imersing" if this is also translated, like Call, Fold, Raise, Set, in the user button but also on the other player cards...

4/ graphical enhancement
I play with the mac version (0.5 because 0.6 is not available at the moment), i found that the display cards vould be enhanced, on my computer the corner of the cards are not rounded, it seems that the 2 left corners is a bit rounded but the right corner seems squared. Perhaps a rounded corner with 3 pixels could be nicer ?

Hi,
Welcome on pokerth.net, and your English is well enough. With that out of the way:

1.
In the settings for local game, you can enable a setting to pause between hands. This gives you time to look at which cards are highlighted, and you can look in the small log window in the lower left and right corner of the screen to see the hand description.

2.
The problem with these kind of statistics is that you have to know which cards the other player has. Two aces is a great hand, but with 4 cards on the table of a certain suit that you don't hold, you have an enormous chance of losing to a flush.

3.
The texts on the cards of the other players are actually images, that are now (0.6) in a separate datadir. So it's possible to replace those now with translated "pictures". The buttons, however, are not translatable (I translate this game too). This is partially a technical choice. For example, the call button now says "Call $ 10" or "Call $10000" depending on how much you have to put in to call. Word length and order are probably different in other languages. It's also partially a design choice, since call, raise and so forth are considered to be "poker lingo". You can search the forums to find different discussions about this.
My opinion is that it is probably a good idea to make the buttons translatable at some point if it's technically doable, to give translators/users (it's feasible even for non-technical users to alter the translations) a choice at least.

4.
I see what you mean, but I hadn't noticed this myself. It's quite easy in 0.6 to replace the card images (do a forum search for the word resurrection to find an example by me ) so it's possible to alter this kind of stuff yourself now (when there's a 0.6 for Mac, of course)

Regards,
heyn
