This game is the fu*kin shizz! I'm already at $2000 online while playing with friends for 30 mins



Sucks for the people who can't get on for 2 days. Oh well, this game is worth 800 points



BTW how do the people on the leaderboards already have like $100,000 online? Are they boosting or something?

Ya but how bad are the graphics. From what I've seen, it looks worse than the shi.ttiest of all online poker games

#2..... the graphics are horrible. They could have made the table look way better. There are no players, no first person view, and way too much clutter on the table. It is by far the WORST online poker out there, so if you are going to play free online poker.... why not download poker stars, true poker, or something halfway cool and fun,.

THE GRAPHICS SUCKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKKK!!!!!!!!! !

Why do people keep complaining about the graphics on a poker game. You look at the cards and that's pretty much it. I know when I started playing online poker, I didn't look for the one with the best graphics, I looked for the one where I could make most money.

People are complaining because the game looks like absolute Ass. If I am playing poker I want to see what I'm doing, and you might as well make it more realistic, otherwise I can just go play with friends or play one of the better online programs!!! And to think that Microsoft is actually planning on charging people for this piece of sh.it program. You can get a better one online for free. Just another application wasting the xbox 360's possibilities....

» Thats you people do is complain.

» Stop complaining

As of right now it is a free game, yes it will cost some down the line, but you shouldnt be complaining about something you guys got for free. Who cares about graphics when you can play with your friends online and chat online with mics, and then see eachother down the line with the Live Camera. The game has plenty of modes for both single and multiplayer and tries to make you play smart by tieing your cash amount to your gamertag.

I don't think it's wasting the xboxes cababilities....how many online poker games have full voice support and possibly video support ? Also not many people can lay on their couch while they play on their PC.....and I can't even beleive people are mentioning graphics when it comes to a poker game, horrible....

» Smart move - DO NOT DOWNLOAD

This download will detect users who have upgraded their FW.

It will lock their console.



Avoid if you want to play backups.

by da man - 2006-08-23 12:19
» is it true?

Will this download really detect an upgraded firmware? Can they detect all firmwares or just the non-stealth? Thanks

by Jurulz - 2006-08-23 14:48
» NO CONSOLE LOCK

I can confirm that the download dont lock the console.... only stupid rumour

by po0 - 2006-08-24 00:36
» Ha!

Im pretty sure that it was a rumor about the download detecting firmware upgrades but sooner or later Microsoft will own everyone with modded xbox's so just sit tight losers it wont be long.
