• Unimpressive

  FlaBill1957September 3, 2011

  Pros

  It does have some nice 'real poker' strategies, such as the bluff. Beginning and average players can benefit from this game, which will be the majority of those playing it.

  Cons

  Way too much going on onscreen - too distracting. After a little play time, I was able to 'read' the AI players fairly consistently, but that can lend to it's predictability, a major downfall of almost all poker simulations.

  Summary

  Not a 'bad' game, it's just not a poker sim I would play for free and certainly not for pay. No real challenge. Game play seemed to be 'disjointed', not smooth. I like to use the 'GOP' series of sims as a benchmark for comparison when evaluating a new poker game and unfortunately, this one falls well short of that standard. I want a game that 'flows', one that doesn't take much effort to play, and I just never felt comfortable playing this game. To paraphrase from an earlier comment, did I say unimpressive?<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Sep 4, 2011<p/>Hmmm...Since posting my review of 3C Texas Holdem Poker 5.1, I've gone back and read the comments from the publisher, the staff at CNET and the other reviewers - probably the best way to give an honest review - but I find that they mostly contradicted with what I had to say. I now feel that to be absolutely fair in my review I will reload the game again and give it another look and some serious game time. If I am allowed another update on my original post, then I will put out the results of this 'second look'. Sorry for the 'back and forth', but I honestly wish to be as objective and as fair as possible.

• Very Busy - Only Basic Features

  May 8, 2011

  Pros

  About the only pro I can find is that it runs without crashing.

  Cons

  Table is too busy, play is "jerky" no matter what the speed setting, the play is, well, boring, no real control of the play, can't reveal hands, turn on tips, set type of play per player, randomize player per match.

  Summary

  Not sure who this is for, the play is too weak for good players, and no help or learning tools for new players, and the board is a mess. For an very unremarkable game of poker this might be a good choice, did I mention it does not crash... Frankly I can'y see what is so great about this at all, too easy to beat.

• Difficult to understand for beginner

  BearTreeStreetMarch 29, 2007

  Pros

  It has a lot of functionality to the game.

  Cons

  It has too many funky graphics that distract and it is hard to understand what is happening relative to playing the game at an actual casino, especially for beginners.
