sp_TexasHoldEm: Multi-Player Poker in T-SQL

Read Original

This article introduces a fun, interactive way to practice T-SQL by playing Texas Hold'Em poker against other database professionals. It provides connection details to an Azure SQL Database and explains how to use stored procedures like sp_TexasHoldEm_Public to join games, perform actions (check, call, raise, fold, all-in), and spectate. The game supports up to 8 players with robot fill-ins, and uses serverless technology that pauses when idle. Perfect for SQL developers looking to sharpen their skills in a playful environment.
