This one is real. A Doyle hand is a 10/3. Players go "all in" on it in real life. I live in vegas and see this all the time. It is gambling. This one game is better then WCP2 and Stacked. I have all of them. This one has all the features you want. Realistic hands. You lose with A/K or Pocket rockets sometimes. Quick play. Good graphics. Cool intros. Chips are on the table (stacked doesn't even have a stack of chips!), players walk away (stacked player's turn black!), ESPN coverage!, extra custom players if you like colors you could adjust RGB as needed! cool feature. Cool music. Options to change tons of stuff. Great games and really fun gameplay. Decent interface with decent videos if you win (could be better though). It is like watching espn sometimes.

Good for learning or boredom

With that being said, its the best poker game out there ive seen so far. I do like how it has alot of the different tournaments, and not just the final WSOP. Its a 4 in my book mainly because for anyone that plays for money, you will feel like you wasted hours of your time when you win and have nothing to show for it. If you are interested in learning more about the game, or just have no desire to ever play for money, this is by far the game for you. Otherwise, save the 30 bucks and play on pokerstars or partypoker and enjoy the excitement of what makes poker such a catchy game.

Good times

I really enjoyed playing this game. I am an avid fan of poker and it's great to get some practice in on something other than the internet. It can be very difficult too and is fun for people of all skill levels none-the-less.

Never saw that coming!

I was just playing this game and pulled a three of a kind sevens. I went all in with another player. Turned out he had a three of a kind sevens, also. That's six sevens. How does that happen? Isn't there only four in a deck, or have I been living in the twilight zone all this time? Either way, I know I've never seen that in a real poker game.

Fun Fun - But

I loved the game, but I think if your serious about poker there may be a
few things you might like added. A teaching mode where you receive
comments on your play. A percentage indicator telling you your chances
of winning (part of the teaching mode).

Also the announcers comments are so boring and so repetitive you could
barf, thank god you can turn it off. The comments should be more
informative (yes teaching mode).

So you wonder why I gave it 4 stars, well because I enjoy playing the
poker side of it. Its fun worth 4 stars.

A good time passer

World Series of Poker for PS2 is a pretty good game overall if you are just looking for a little fun. Dont play this game expecting a good poker challenge though. If you are a beginner looking to improve your game look elsewhere. However if you just want to have a little fun and try to win a bracelot then this is a good game to buy.

WSOP

Games good. Alittle slow paced. CPU always seem to have better hands especially the Full Boat. Overall it cant be that hard to make a poker game there is only so much you can do

Wow.

This is a very good game. This is worth a round of applause for quite a few reasons. The Quickplay mode is a very good way to spend a few minutes with WSOP Superstars. The Career mode is great. You get to play any kind of poker you see on TV along with the Main Event. The main event is awesome! You get the sights, sounds, and feeling that you'd see at a real poker table. I did one without saving and doing cheats with my friend, we finished 37th. Alone, with a little help from my dad, I bent the rules a little & I finished 1st. The prize, over $13 million. Now, the cons. The graphics are terrible when a person is moving their lips. They look like a combination of a chipmunk and a baby with baby cheeks, but you can easily phase that out. Unlike WPT, your opponent always seems to win when you have a decent hand, and when you get a crappy hand and fold it, you usually would've won if you stayed in. Let's say you folded 9-3 offsuit. The flop comes 9-3-King. Checks all around. The flop, a 5, nothing helpful. Someone bets, other person calls. The river, another 3. You folded a full house. The winner has an ace high. That gets you really pissed off. One time, I got so pissed off. I folded 8-Jack of Hearts. I folded what would've been a straight flush. Man, I was so PO'd. The last con, the gameplay is WAY too aggressive. Everytime you've got a good hand, someone comes out betting or raising. You always think hard, and you fold. Most of time, though, their hand is crap. You want to punch yourself for folding. That is what brings this game down. Still a good title though.

A solid poker game

This is the first Texas Holdem game that I have bought for a video game system and I am having a good time with it. The AI has been the best that I have been up against so far and creating a character on here was fun as well. There are a few problems that become annoying over time. Every time you or an opponent acts they say these really dumb comments and the same ones are said over and over. I am sure you can turn off that feature so that can be solved but the graphics are really bad and there is nothing to do about that. You would expect more from a game with limited surroundings.

Rubbish!

This game is awful. The graphics are really bad, and the character creator is way worse than WCP which came out a year ago. The online bails everyone out when the host leaves and the AI is a joke. I returned this game when someone bought me the World Poker Tour game which is cheaper and MILES better.
