## What it is
A Slack bot written in JavaScript that turns any Slack channel into a Texas Hold'em poker client for 2-10 players. It deals hands, direct-messages hole cards, collects player actions, determines winners, and manages the pot, with optional AI players.

## Use cases
- play poker with coworkers in slack
- run a texas holdem game in a slack channel
- add a card game bot to my team chat
- host a poker night remotely over slack
- build a custom AI poker player bot
- deal cards automatically and manage a poker pot in chat

## When to choose
- your team already uses Slack and wants a casual multiplayer poker game
- you want a self-hosted, hackable poker bot you can extend with AI players
- you want one-click Heroku deployment of a chat-based game

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone poker app with a graphical interface
- you use a chat platform other than Slack
- you need actively maintained software with current Slack API support
