Show HN: Multi-player poker on SSH – ssh cli.poker

my motivation - i was looking for some CLI games to play when the agent is working and this idea came into my head. this was when fable was available for 3 days, so seemed like a good use of tokens to try and build this out. spent some time polishing to finally get this out.

the public matchmaking connects you on a first come first serve basis to anyone else in the world. there is a bot that will connect in-case a match is not found for 45 seconds. games last about 5-10 minutes (tournament style fast paced). and each game impacts your rating (glicko-2). so they're quite nice for idle time when the agents are running :)

some other ideas in my head... - add a 1v1 mode where you can play against a co-worker/friend - company/college specific leaderboards

would love feedback / advice please!
