    I love video games and playing poker is my "job," I jumped at the chance to get this game. Aside from the fact that there's no money involved, this is a fairly decent game. The AI could be more challenging, as computer opponents will raise and call with hands they have no business even limping into. The length of the tournaments is a pretty fair assessment.

    Aside from the World Series of Poker name and Lon's voice, this game has nothing to do with poker's ultimate event and even fails to compete with poker products of comparable or lesser price. Nuts!

    If you have the PS2 and the EyeToy, you and your opponents can actually set your cameras up so you can see each other while you play; just like you were sitting at the table at Hannah's Casino. That is very cool.
