With the recent poker boom, cardrooms are springing up everywhere, including on your favorite video game console. The legislation passed by the U.S. Senate, making it difficult for the recreational gambler to deposit money to online sites, has people looking for alternative methods to get their poker 'fix.' I highly recommend WSOP Tournament of Champions for the Playstation 2 (also available on the other popular consoles). What better way for the novice to learn the game than sit down with the virtual defending champ, Joe Hachem, while being coached by none other than Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson. This is a great way to learn the fundamentals of the game, with tips from Cardplayer Magazine, supplemented with your favorite color commentary by ESPN announcers Lon and Chad. The graphics aren't the best, but the gameplay can be adjusted from regular speed to lighting fast, guaranteeing tons of action. So, give it a shot, create your own player and see how you rate among the best pros on the World Series of Poker circuit, as you try to become the player of the year!Read full review
World Series of Poker is a great game for the casual poker fan. It offers all of the most popular games in a true to life tournament setting. Many of the rules to the games hold true as going "All in" can make or break your day at the tables. I have found that many of the computer players have their own style of play and that makes the game a real challenge. The game offers a few settings to speed up the play and as a result, you can play an entire tournament in under an hour (at least if you make it to the final table). You get advice on how to play during load up screens and from Chris Ferguson, a poker legend. After playing this game, I can't wait to get to the real tables and try my luck. There are a few negatives, but none that you wouldn't expect from a computerized gambling game. The computer players occasionally bet poorly, but win on a last card draw when they had no business being in the game in the first place. It makes it very frustrating to have 3 aces and lose a hand because a computer with a 3,4,6 & 7 gets a 5 on the river. This makes it very difficult to bet big against the computer, especially in no limit hold 'em. Get the game, if you like poker, you will enjoy it for countless hours.Read full review
I bought the game and have played it quite a bit. I like this game because the game play is easy and the stats are incredible. You can look at all of the outs you have. You can see the percentage of hands played by your opponents. You can also see where your hand ranks pre flop. This game is a good learning tool if you like texas holdem and want to practice. The game is worth 20 bucks to me. I would recommend this game to any texas holdem players. Stacked is also a good poker game but I like the stats and info you can check out for future references or just an edge at the tables. If this was helpful please vote for it thanks
Good poker play, hours of playing time is fun.
