Not half bad but falls short in some places
Pro's, the grafix are good, the tutorials are helpfull, and the game is easy to use and figure out. <
>Con's, there is no way to play online or with other computer users, unlike the playstation version of this game you cant customize your player, there are two "sports commentaters" that comment on every play but they have limited comments that get real old real fast(you can turn them off). <
>It's a fun game to play and it's one of my favorits. I only payed $10 for the game and I got what I paid for. <

GREAT for the beginner and casual gamer
I just bought this game after having played it for a few hours at a friends house. I have been playing it for awhile now, have had no problems with it; it has been a blast! The only suggestion that I would say for next time is to add online play or multiplayer mode. Finally, I've seen people complain about installation problems... I had no problems installing it whatsoever and it runs very smoothly. Enjoy!

Not very challenging
I am not really sure why everyone is having problems with this program crashing. I have literally played it for days straight as I have nothing else to do on the week ends. I wonder if it is their computers. I use a 1 1/2 old laptop so it doesn't take much to keep the game going. The only problems I have had are if I quit in the middle of a tournament. Then that game will always lock up. I either finish the tournament or go all in to finish it quickly. No problems since that <

>I do have a couple of problems with the game itself though. First, it is not very challenging. After I day I have won or placed in at least half of the tournaments. I do not play much poker and almost never watch it on TV. If an amateur like me can do that well I think the really experienced players would not like this at all. <

>Second, there is a little status screen on the left that is very useful but I could not figure out why it seemed to be there randomly. Here is the secret; it only appears in the first tournament that you play after starting it up fresh. If you want to keep it in subsequent tournaments you will need to exit and then reload, wallah it is there. <

>Third, if you fold on seven card stud the game does not finish things off like in the other tournaments. You have to sit and press deal for each subsequent round of that hand. It gets very annoying very quickly. <

>Fourth, the announcers on the game are so random. You think they would program it respond more appropriately. I had a straight flush and another player had a royal flush. We both went all in. At the end the computer says: "You have to wonder what he was thinking playing that hand." On other hands when I am bluffing and fall far short its response will be inappropriately encouraging. <

>All in all I play this because I don't have much else to do living in the wilds of Thailand. If I had better access to books, movies or other games I would not <
