This game is marginally better than that Hoyle Casino joke, but it has no resemblance to a real game. The AI is OK, but there are WAY too many great hands, that seem to ALWAYS beat you on the river card. I’ve played hundreds of hands, and when I cheat to see what all the community cards are I end up missing my straight, only if I fold first. I NEVER hit it when I’m digging for it!!! EVER!!! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been sunk by a boat when I do hit my flush. Hole cards are awful for my hand, but every one around me is getting AA, KK, OO, JJ, AK. I think this game is poor, and only gave it 2 stars because Hoyle’s was my only comparison, and it’s palin awful!

I was so excited when I bought this and so totally disappointed!!! There are many on-line sites where you can practice playing poker for free against real people. Anyone of them is more entertaining and a better learning experience than wasting time with this. The graphics are on a par with playing “pong” on your TV in the seventies.

It’s a good game to experiment with strategies. But I can’t stand it when I go “all in” and half the other players call me, even the ones that don’t even have a pair, and I wind up losing to a straight or a flush at the river. Incidently, I think that there are too many straights and flushes being made in this game. I think it is difficult to get automated players to behave like real human beings. Still, it’s better for practice than playing online, because online, the other players tend to slow the game down too much.

I’ve had a lot of fun playing this the past couple of weeks. But if you’re looking for real practice playing Texas Hold ‘Em against skilled (virtual) opponents, this isn’t a good choice. My evidence: It took me SIX TRIES to LOSE in heads-up tournament play. And I am NOT a good poker player.

This came of no-limit Texas hold-em poker sucks big time. First some positive things about it:
It can be fun for awhile. It has lots of options. 2003 and 2004 World series tournaments are here(pitting you against 800+ and 2500+ opponets respectively). It installs easily.
Now the bad things:
Gameplay sucks. The only way to really improve your play is to play for REAL, for REAL MONEY. Playing other fools online in virtual rooms with “play money” is a joke, because no one using his/her own cash, with the chance of losing it, would , say, re-raise all in with 9/3 off-suit hole cards. Might as well go home now. but in these no real cash games, people do it all the time. Oh, I busted out? OK, just re-enter another table and keep playing.
Now, why does the gameplay suck? Because the program cheats. Ever watch Hold-em tournies on tv?How often do players hit the “miracle card on 4th street or the river” and pull out the win? Not often, say about 20%. In this game, you hit the miracle about 15%; computer opponets hit it about 75%. Also, you tend to lose to opponets with the same primary, but a kicker usually 1 card higher- your hand is J/Q, you lose to a J/K. also, have AA starting hands? You’ll lose to a flush/straight/3 of a kind about 95% of the time. What’s the worst starting hand in Texas hold-em- it’s 7/2 off-suit; you get this, you toss it. I have then seen the flop come either 77x,22x,72x,or 722 or 772, which, if I stayed in, would have won me the hand. It rewards you for playing laughingstock hands. NONSENSE! Play like that in a real money tournament, you’ll bust out before you’ve even gotten to warm up your seat.
My advice, avoid this like the plague. don’t get fooled by its cheap price tag. Here, you buy cheap, you DO get cheap.
