    If you have great group of online buddies or real-world friends who are on Xbox Live, this game is the next best thing to the Friday night poker-fest in your pal's basement.

    Currently the best poker game currently in the market, but I would still hold out for something better (Hopefully "Stacked").

    The addition of the WPT license has given the game a level of focus and direction that the developer's previous effort lacked.

    I was expecting a lot better, but this is maybe the best poker game on xbox. It's strange how the graphics are so poor in all poker games when they only have to make a bunch of people sitting around a table, relatively motionless. This game has some of the ugliest player models and animations i've seen in any xbox game. If it didn't have the theme of one of my favorite shows, it would be a throw away game.… Expand
