Legends Are Made One Hand At A Time! Check, call, bet, raise or fold with the new and exciting World Series of Poker Electronic Texas Holdem Video Game.
This was a gift for my son and they had a great time with it that very day. It was given to him to take on a cruise and they are gone on that now. I have no idea haw things are going with it now , but I assume very well. Both he and his wife were really enjoying it. My son is 37 years old.

This hand-held game is ok for familiarizing yourself with hold’em poker, however it has some faults. Probably the best feature is that it allows you to have multiple human players ( up to 7) and also select the number of computer players. This makes it easy to play hold’em where it would be difficult to play cards normally, like in the car on a road trip with friends. Word of caution: the computer players are much easier than real life players. They are “calling stations” and nearly always call bets to the showdown at the end. Just because you can make thousands of “digital dollars” playing this gadget doesn’t mean you are a great player. One programming glitch it has is that it allows you to have the option to check pre-flop, in a real hold’em game you don’t have that option-you must bet, raise or fold (checking is not an option in the first round of play pre-flop).

This game is really not what I was hoping it would be. First, it’s controls are fairly complicated for getting simple things done and it allows you to do stuff that is inappropriate. For instance, it is possible to fold a hand that was checked to you. Second, it makes you sit through a fake shuffle and deal sequence each hand which is just goofy. It really serves no purpose other than slowing the game way down. I hope the makers don’t think that are actually recreating the feel of a real game of poker. They shouldn’t even try, that is not what this game is for. Third, the computer players play like idiots. They will call repeated raises with nothing pretty much down to the river. Once they get low on chips and pot odds dictate going All In with almost any hand, they will begin to fold much more regularly. So they play almost exactly opposite of what they should.
I don’t recommend this product.
