This game looked fun at first but it soon became evident that it's not a true representation of the game.

Why? Because the developers seem to have decided the game would be improved by programming in a far greater probability of great hands than in the real game. Even in heads up the winning hand is almost always a full house, flush, straight, 3 of a kind or 2 pairs. Anyone who's played the real game knows that in heads up those kinds of hands are a relative rarity.

What does this mean to gameplay? Simply that you can no longer believe that the good hand you may be holding has anything like the probability of winning that it should. That makes the game unplayable to me and I'd suggest to anyone with any knowledge of the mathmatical probability on which the real game is based.

Liquor in front, Poker in rear. Great game. If you are into Texas Hold'Em, this is the title you are looking for. No frills and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Just Poker.

A bit on the price side high but the game play is good. AI is like the real thing. They fall for bluffs no stupid card plays. The AI bluffs back! Graphics and music are nice, voices on AI players is good It would be nice to see some players on the Internet. Its the best card in the series if you like poker. Maybe a steam sale or drop in price but I cant find any faults in the game at all.

Before I purchased this game I knew nothing of poker. On impulse I purchased the game and played the tutorial which is very helpful. Now I can play poker, although I lose more than I win but I’m getting there. The game is very enjoyable.

There are a few decks of cards and tables to choose from. The different game modes are single player, single player tournament (up to 160 players), and then it is also possible to play LAN and online. The game also tracks your score.

I will recommend this game even if you know nothing of poker. The game may get repetitive for some but I rather enjoy the challenge to win the single player tournament (160 players). Easier said than done.

And I need to add that the developers are open to suggestions to ways on how to improve the game.

Good poker game , good graphics and scenery . Voice acting could be a little better .
You play at empty tables with ghost players and theres quite a few adjustments you can make .
I suck at poker so this is a great chance to improve and not wake up on a park bench with no shirt !

Great graphics for what is shown, but a bit incomplete! Currently, you can only see your cards, the chip stacks, and some cool animations, but you can't view your own cards, once mucked. No characters or "players" appear at the table (other than viewing their stacks of chips). However, the card animations, the sounds, etc. are spot on EXCELLENT! This has the potential of being a great Texas Hold'em poker game. A minor thing I've also noticed is the way in which the hands are dealt. Although I know that it's just as random, the animations should be changed to give the appearance the each player receives a card around the table before the next card gets dealt. Currently, it appears as if each player is being dealt two cards at once, which isn't how Texas Hold'em is dealt. Also, there aren't any players playing multiplayer, which is the main reason to play Holdem' online! Currently, I was only able to play local tourneys against the computer -not multiplayer- Overall, the time, animations, sounds for what IS SHOWN-is spot on! Nice job! However, players like a bit of customization, like having an actual character they can use or create, and customize. The BIGGEST thing that should be added is the ability to view the cards that you mucked, so that you can improve your skills. Currently, once you fold, if you didn't absolutely memorize what you folded, you're SOL. Also, allow players to create a character, etc. Give away some prizes at tournaments or something to get people playing. There is a lot of polish here, but only on some things - so this game needs some additional development. I sincerely hope that BuflProject continues development of this game!

I my name is Dean I am a professional Idiot.



Let's talk poker or the lack of good ones on the PC that you do not have to pay money for.



The problem with money free games is that people bet like idiots most of the time going all in on first hands to try and get an advantage. It makes since sense the move is risk free and you can bully people off the table. Games like Texas Hold'em and Full house poker I would spend many nights playing. Full House Poker combated this with making you pay DLC for more chips which this game does not do thankfully.



Which brings me to a problem the game suffers from, there isn't a good scene online. The reason is that there is no way of showing how good you are at the game of poker or any real weekly tournament play going for it, the multiplayer is dead. But saying that, the A.I at least on normal with 160 players on normal difficulty was very fun. I won my first comp and felt pretty good about it. The game itself is very solid with fast gameplay, it's just very plane jane compared to other offerings.



The game is not free and has nothing like weekly comps to get people on playing online. You can customise your table and cards but there is no bank balance or things to unlock in this game. At the time of writing this review the game had two games total and only one of them was full. The game is quite expensive but for the scene, it's like the only solid poker game on STEAM right now.



The only other things I would say is it needs controller usability, some of us like to listen to podcasts and chill on the coach with a few brewskies when playing poker. The other thing would be to have something in the corner to show your thrown away hand, this would make me feel bad if I threw away a bad hand.



The game is a good game but it could be a great game with more quality of life things and showing you how much you have made in your lifetime. :)

Excellent interface. Very good graphics.
Could be a gem if not for the TERRIBLE math. You
will never see so many straights,flushes, and full house hands. Its
like the programer doing the math never played poker. I really hope
they patch many of these big hands out of the game. If the stupid number
of big hands were gone this would be a great game.

If you are a novice poker player and just want to play some cards, this game is fine.

If you want a challenge, this game is very underwhelming. I won my first 160-man tournament on the hardest difficulty. In those 143 hands I saw some ridiculous AI behavior such as: calling a re-shove with bottom pair, betting 90% of their stack and then folding to a raise, checking back sets on the river, and very strange bet sizing such as opening 20xBB.

Boring card simulator. Do not buy this game (even on sale!!)

Edit: Sure, do not buy this game (even on sale!!) because demo is enough.. 8-)
