Average Rating: 
Rating: - good fun
This game features a lot of small tournaments which are quite fun. The action, though, is really in the large tournaments you occasionally get to play in career mode with 200 people. They can be quite long if you want to finish high but are very intense, and interestingly, many of the tournaments seem to each have their own feel, as if you were really playing with different groups of people each time. By this I mean you encounter different strategies of raising and calling in the no limit tournaments, ... Read More
Rating: - I love this game
The fact that I paid a bargain price for this game no doubt influences my positive attitude, but I have had a lot of fun playing this game. I like the fact that it has both career mode and free play.

Rating:  - Not much of an approvement over the 1st. The 1st might be better actually.
This really isn't much (if at all) better than the 1st one.
For one, often the percentages of player's chances to win don't add up to 100 percent. I notice sometimes that it happens when I notice a good chance that they will tie and have to split the pot. I don't think this is how it works on tv (not sure)? I am assuming this is an error in the game.
Also the career mode has buildings with games in a map. It is about 5 screens wide and you have to scroll and follow arrows to see what ... Read More
