Poker Mavens is Texas Hold'em poker software that lets both friends and strangers play against each other over the Internet or home network for fun or practice. The software comes in two parts: a free Client Module that each player uses plus a Server Module that coordinates the action for each game. A designated game administrator can run the Server Module in private mode so that only their friends can join in, or in public mode so that anyone can join in.
