1.0 out of 5 stars Are there any good poker games out there?, June 7, 2005
By Stingaree (Florida) - See all my reviews
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
I took advantage of the low price and bought this piece of garbage. I got taken big time. I am new to poker having watched Moneymaker on ESPN a couple of years ago. So, I am no expert. But, this game makes it ridiciously easy to win and all the players play basically the same way. If you are patient you are basically guaranteed of finishing in the money in every tournament and I am winning about 30% of the tournaments. This despite a lot of really bad beats.

The computer players inevitably give away when they get any kind of pair pre-flop by raising. Then as the hand moves on if they have a good hand they will slow play it trying to sucker you in to betting more. Additionally, they will try and bluff and have no brakes when doing so leading to a plethora of all ins where you take the computer players money without them having even a pair.
Finally, the graphics and presentation are quite ordinary and repetitive. You get to play in different casinos, but except for the opening shot outside the casino, none of them show you any differences inside to give the game some flavor. The computer opponents also have no personality. Since the AI is so bad at least they should provide us with fun interaction with the computer players, but it does not happen.

I suggest to all that they avoid this game. I can't give a reccomendation for any other poker games out there either. Does anyone know of any good ones?

1.0 out of 5 stars PISS POOR GAME, October 16, 2005
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
took me about 30 minutes to realize the AI players never fold after a flop..... online play is horrible, expected dozens of people and games in progress... nope.. saw 2 others online. SAVE YOUR 20 BUCKS AND BUY SOMETHING ELSE.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Really Sorry Poker Game - That Cheats, too, August 29, 2005
I wish I could have given this game "minus" stars. I would have done it. I have played games before that, after I had played them a few times, I could beat them every time. I haven't figured out how to get into this game's good graces, because it seems when it wants me to win I win and when it doesn't, I don't. The cards, obviously, are not dealt at random. I lost count of how many times I have gotten the same pair of cards (like 5 of clubs and deuce of spades - I use this combination because that is the one that seems to turn up most often) on consecutive hands. I don't know how many times I have held a good hand - say queen high flush - and been beaten by a king high flush or other such nonsense. I'm not saying it can't happen in a real game, just not with the regularity it does in this game.

There are many other flaws mentioned by other reviewers that I have encountered at one time or another. When you put them all together, they make for a really sorry poker game.
