Texas Hold'em Poker Table
2–5 players · server-managed hands · optional cropped medium-bandwidth player video and automatic disconnect cleanup
Join the shared table, play simplified no-limit Texas Hold'em, chat with other players, and optionally enable a clearer cropped 4:3 video stream that appears in its own visible panel beside your two private cards. New players can join an already started table and are seated into the next hand. If players quit or disconnect, they immediately forfeit the current hand/bet, disappear for everyone, and the hand continues until one player remains or the table is alone.

Rules in this first iteration
- 2 to 5 players share one Hold'em table.
- Players who join after a hand starts are seated immediately but wait until the next hand to receive cards.
- Each active hand starts with a small ante. Players can check/call, raise, or fold.
- The server evaluates the best five-card hand from two private cards plus the community board.
- The camera option is video-only and about double the previous bandwidth: it center-crops frames to a stable 4:3 ratio, so images are not stretched.
- If a player closes the page, loses connection, or stops polling, the server folds/removes that player and keeps their committed chips in the pot.
