    If you play poker at ALL, this game is awesome. A very nice implementation of avatars and fun and varied play. Many online modes. Only complaints are no Omaha or Stud, but that's pretty minor. Just watch out for the donkeys gambling 50k with 39 offsuit. Texas Heat is awesome as well. Computer AI is pretty horrible, but playing against real players really does help train you to be a betterIf you play poker at ALL, this game is awesome.

    Incredibly fun and entertaining, but also can be challenging at times. A good game for all fans of poker, but also for the newbie. The best poker game out there by a distance.

    This is very enjoyable. Great poker rules and fun to play with friends, especially since you see their avatars. I wish that there was a little more substance, but it's honestly the best poker game.

    Great game! I love playing it a lot it has good game modes. The texas heat barely works though and they barely do it anymore. And that was one of my favorite parts of the game. That's why I give it a 9.

    My Advice: I would but the game. it's good if you love poker!

    As a multiplayer game, this is sure to bring some friends together for some online poker who might not otherwise be able to play together, and at that point the pacing of the game isn't really that important. As a single player game, if you can put aside the duration of the tournaments and look at the AI that the game has in the form of the Pros, then this game really succeeds in my opinion.

    But for now, you're buying what feels like an early beta test. [June 2011, p.77]
