Customer Reviews of World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions

I noticed the BS all ins too...
I love poker, I play a lot, I watch it on Tv when I can, its all about seeing and playing hands, the more the better. I've played thousands of hands on this game, due to the extreme long times it takes to play a tournament because short stacks constantly double up also because there are so many crappy all ins and preflop raises that are unbelievable with off suited low cards, and like the guy before me said I can't count the BS straights/flushes that the computer hits, ah everytime. With such crappy hands no real poker player would put their stack at risk with low crappy cards. I don't mind losing, its poker, you're gonna lose, but does it have to be to a BS straight on the river everytime? There also seems to be too many hands that get folded all the way around for the big blind to collect, unless of course you're the BB. And why can't you see other tables with players in the back ground? these are big tournaments right?the generic same crowd standing around one table every time sucks. Maybe pop ins from all ins from other tables to break up the action? And you will never start a tournament at a table with one of the pros, at some point you'd think you would get at one of the big players' table at the start? For such a crappy poker sim, poker programs are some of the first ever simple programs written for computers 50 yrs ago, this should be way better and it should've only been $19 tops or anyone who buys the game gets a real seat at the 07 WSOP in Vegas, HAHA please. <
>GO Buckeyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ridiculous all-in calls
Despite the lengthy review of the other person...I do not know how you can miss the crazy calls by the cpu. Significant all-in calls with 6-3 10-8 offsuit etc. to the tune of 75-100% of their chips. Pre-flop, post-flop, it doesnt really matter, you will get called by players with nothing, only to see them hit running cards to make a straight. Play a free tournament on-line, you will see slightly better play.

Maybe 3 and a half stars...
Let me start off by saying- what the second reviewer mentioned is totally correct; The first player to act into an unraised pot will raise 99%+ of the time and yes it is very inaccurate. <

>But beyond that awful flaw, lies a pretty good game. The commentary is maybe a little above average but is a real improvement from last years version. <
> <
>Starting out from the beginning of career mode might be more annoying then hard because there are no helpful cheat/tutor features such as "always see winning hand" et al. That is helpful for a few hours when beginning because you gain some insight on how the cpu plays. <
> <
>So how does the cpu play on the default setting? Aggressive, generally. Simply put, someone will reraise preflop with k4 even with a decent stack. <
>Trapping is usually a good idea on this game and without running into a lot of bad beats, the AI isnt supremely skilled, as poker is totally a human game. I think of myself as a hobby player although i have won some 1-5-10$ nl and limit tourneys in the past and in the first 5 hours of this game, I won the 18 man limit tournament, the 16 player heads up tournament and the 4 player home game tournament. Like I said, be patient and trap with strong hands. <
> <
>One of the best features in this game is the myriad of poker variations offered; Hold em, Stud, Stud 8/b, Omaha and Omaha 8/b, as well as Razz for good measure! I enjoy all of these games and think they should be included on every game of poker. <
> <
>30 pros are listed in this game but sadly some very notable players were missing. Left out were Dolly Brunson, Johnny Chan, P. Hellmuth, D. Negreanu, etc etc etc... <
> <
>Despite having a limited replay value in the long run, newcomers and owners of last years game should seriously consider picking up this title for under $30.
