    As a bargain-priced take on what you're seeing on TV, this one rates as an off-suited pair - something to play with, but don't bet the mortgage on it. [Feb 2005, p.80]

    The online play itself is great. It's unpredictable, challenging and enthralling. It's here that you will practice your voodoo of mind reading and psychological profiling.

    I don't see why Crave decided to just stick with twelve variants of poker and not include other variations which could have added weeks of replay value to the game.

    This is quite possibly the most boring game ever - and I am a huge poker fan. The AI is terrible - Hold on to your hats...I think he's gonna check again!… Expand
