Another web3 poker app: HunnyFinance. It was built on BSC. The project can be divided into 2 main parts, poker and other gamblings.
This link takes you to WP: docs.hunny.finance
The gamblings section is available here: HunnyPlay
And most importantly, the link to the poker application: HunnyPoker
Of course, I only want to look at the poker application here. Signing up is very easy, especially with MetaMask. However, you can also register by email. If you have a question about this or anything else, you will most likely find the answer on the discord channel of the project, but they will also answer questions quickly.
HunnyPlay/Poker Discord Channel
HunnyPoker is a browser based application. I tried only on desktop, but in their discord channel they informed me it works on mobile devices, too.
Let's look at the application itself!
The main lobby shows your registered wallet address, balance, cash game and tourney options. At the bottom, you can also access wallet, game history and account settings. (And for clubs too, this might be particularly interesting. See later.)
Additional available cryptos can be displayed by clicking on the account above.
There are already several options. Based on the information from support, the following are planned to be added to the existing ones in the near future:
Currently, all tournament winnings are credited to the player's account in BUSD, regardless of the crypto used to enter. For cash games, the potential winnings will be credited to the player's account in the currency of the buyin. (If the purchase was paid in AVAX, the payment is also AVAX. I haven't tried CG yet, but I can confirm the above in the case of tourneys.)
The Cash Game options are pretty obvious, so let's look at the tourney section. Currently, there is a tournament every 2 hours, in the buyin range of $0.25-$3.00. Add to this the almost mandatory add-on. Currently, all tourneys offer rebuy and add-on purchases. The blind levels are 3-5 minutes long. (Compare to hyper, turbo tourneys the fee is high, 10%) Traffic is low, as in other new, similar rooms.
I think the gameplay is good, the design is also fine. Some in-game screenshots:
The final table has a different design:
The result appears in this form:
Accessing to important information during play is easy:
The tourney lobbies can be viewed 1 day back:
They are just running a Leaderboard race, except this one they don't offer any poker bonus at the moment.

If you are interested, you can find further information on their Discord channel.
Overall, I was impressed with this new web3 online poker room. There are small disturbing things, what probably will be sorted out by time, by community growth. For example, the tourney structures. At the moment they are 3-5 min blind levels, what are fine for me, I like the hyper or turbo tourneys, but I know majority prefer to play deeper.
Let's see the Club option.
As you can see, you can create a poker club and organize tournaments for free. (You can host cash game tables, as well.) The options are limited, but all the necessary ones are there. You can setup passwords, or let in everybody from the club. The max participants number is 1000. What is more than enough.
I already setup one with the little logo I use in other rooms for a little Hive advertisment.
Lucksacks is completely dead in the last few months, I don't know the exact reasons, just that fact. I'm sure there are enough people on Hive who love poker and would play for fun from time to time. If you are one of them, check this survey please:

Good luck at the tables!
