When I was younger I used to play online poker, mostly on the phone, I think the app was called zynga poker??

Is there a trustworthy website, maybe open-source or run by good people that has a decent user base?

Edit: I don't want to gamble for money, just for free and virtual chips.

I heard online poker is dead and AI killed it.

A friend of mine was an avid online poker player. He says the AI systems beat humans all the time, and that the platforms countered with AI AI detection systems which allow for a maximum tolerance of winning hands that is considered human level. As a response, players using AI systems added deliberate error rates to hide from the detection.

Game's basically broken. Sorry.

Wait why would anyone bot games that are for worthless chips?

If they're worthless then, why play at all? If they are scarce, convey any kind of status on the platform or unlock anything at all, then i assure you there will be someone gaming the system.

Poker requires gambling something with at least symbolic value, or else people don't care about winning or losing hands and just go all in recklessly all the time.

For fun?

The game breaks if everyone has infinite chips or they have no value at all.
