    Fantastic game! As a newbie it really helped a lot of my game. I think this simulation is real enough to teaches you the basics of Poker: principles and disapline. The moment that I won the tournament in game is one of the most exciting moment of my life, and I have done a lot. Expand

    Good AI and a nice assortment of games. TJ's tips can turn a novice into a pretty good player. The interface is also very easy and you have the ability to save tournaments and return to them later. The AI is pretty good, although sometimes they will be too predictable (i.e. that loose players are easily identifable). The only thing I question is the replayability; I don't think this will be a "keeper' game that I'll play for months, but just something to pass the time. Expand

    Never, never has a game been so in favor of the computer. I rarely (1:200 Hands) better than a 2 & 3, while the computer gets full houses, 4 high of a kind, and so many royal flushes it is unbieleveable. I have delt manually over 300 hands (with 6 players and the flops) and the most that I ever got was a pair.. It's about time that Texax Hold "em for the computer gets real. Expand
