    Hi all,

    Looking to play some No Limit Holdem with about 8 friends, just wondering if anyone can recommend some apps or sites for doing it?

    We had a test game on Pokerrrr 2, some people didn't like the finicky hand gestures required and also we've used up the free gold, we'll have to pay for hosting now. If there's a better (ideally free) way of playing online, would love to know.

    Does Pokerstars have a webcam option? I'd love to be able to interact with my mates as well as playing.

    Use Zoom or WebEx on the side.

    With all live poker stopped for now most are going online with a few of the operators using an app called pokio, the idea they set up a club within the app and run their own tournaments as they would have and let their members join. I'd imagine you can setup your own and send the I'd to all your friends. Seems to be taking off too

    Also in pokerstars have you looked at the home games, a lot of twitch users have their own communities and run their own games haven't done it but seems to be easy enough to set up

    Had a game on pokerstars last night and used a separate app for video call. Was good in general however one of my mates couldn't play as he only has access to an iPad and wasn't able to join the poker club or tournament that I set up. It looked like it just isn't supported.

    Is there another site that would let someone on iPad play with desktop users?
