Hello,

Could you please consider adding a new key on the keyboard to see our cards without use the mouse :?:

Indeed the right hand must constantly alternate between the mouse and the numeric keypad to place bets, It would be more convenient and faster to play using the keyboard by combining the standards keys (F1, F2, F3, F4) & a new key like CTRL to revealed our cards in addition to the three mouse clicks.

I propose CTRL because there is 2 keys on the keyboard, really easily accessible & allows us to see our cards with both hands free to choose ;)

What do you think about it ?

Thanks,
SG

Why do you hide your cards? I have my cards visible at all times and play with the keyboard only most the times.

By convention, poker is always played with face-down cards. Learning to memorize the cards for each hand is part of the game of poker no ? My question is, how to check our cards in a few seconds without using the mouse please ? =)

Are you on Linux? Then you could use something like this

Wouldn't it be easier to add a feature to the app, that would allow everyone to view their playing cards using the keyboard ?

Does everyone play poker on Internet with their cards face up all the time on screen ? I'm afraid to understand...
I think that's not a good idea, especially when you have to play face to face with real cards, therefore you must to look at your cards every 20 seconds, but it's okay, everyone plays as they wish :D

Anyway, could you please make an effort to define a magic key on the keyboard to reveal our cards for those who wish to play without mouse with their cards face down ? =)

Thank you very much.
