OK, all those people who were playing on WSOP on Xbox live that said this game would blow WSOP away, you stole 30 bucks and 2 1/2 hours of my life and I want them back. This game both sucks and blows at the same time. I can't believe MTV did what was basically a 30 minute infomercial for this game. The online play which was pretty good on WSOP but needed some improvement (particularly in the tracking of your career earnings) was one of the better aspects of that game. It also has pretty good career mode with a great create a character mode.

Stacked has Daniel Negreanu telling me to fold Ace,10 off suit because somebody raised me 10 bucks. Hey Daniel, I know you're Canadien and might not know the exchange rate but 10 bucks aint much even in real money. the online play sucks to put it mildly. You frequently get booted from sessions, your money gets lost every time you get a decent little stack going. The graphics are mediocre, create a character stinks, lousy variety(or lack there of) of places/casinos to play, lousy AI. I could go on but do I need to? Just don't buy it.

The statistics show...I'm always right.

Despite the reviews posted, this game is actually great for the beginner. The gameplay is decent, and the graphics are far superior than WSOP. The dealer also speaks in the game, while WSOP virtually has no speech. It has 15-20 min tutorial of poker instructed by Daniel. WSOP does not have any such thing. During the game you can ask Daniel what he would do. Most of the time you get a short "You gotta fold that one my friend." Other times a Pro Tip will come up. These are lengthy responses for events that would occur during a game. WSOP again, has no tutorials. I do think WSOP is a good game but in the asthetic sense, it cannot come close to beating stacked, and the basic information Daniel gives is fantastic for the beginner. I understand Mtv did a half hour infomercial, and it was a let down. HOWEVER. This game gives beginners and intermediate players a way to go over the fundamentals of poker. Plus the current price is a buck. So the game is a great deal, pricing less than a pack of gum...

Twice I have been leading in a tournament in this game and it has frozen up on me. I can't see how one can win when it does that.
