Fantastic....with room for improvement

by MOTHERBLUFFER Sep 8, 2009, 7:34 AM PDT

This is a great game. There seems to be some slight glitches with t he game. For instance, logging back into your character to find out that the game has glitched you for a couple of hundred million -- this problem is a real drag...

Also, there is no way to transfer money to other characters -- this would be a great feature

The feature that I think would be the best would be to add an option for viewing the lobby while you are at the table. That way you could see if there were any other tables you might want to play at -- instead of having to leave the table you are currently at, forfieting your seat.

I highly reccommend this game to anyone who loves poker!

NEEDS BASICS

by POCKETCHECK Apr 22, 2009, 7:32 PM PDT

I love this game, but it lacks some basics that can be easily patched in:

1. Tournament mode (none its a sit'n go):
+ Limits are set too low (some people can afford to play for more than 100k buy in)
+ No multi table tournaments (its possible to have ten tables X 6 players each)
+ Last, but NOT least is disconnection problems! If my power goes off for some
reason I should be able to get back online and reenter the sit'n go (being
blinded out of course)

2. Cash games:
+No option to show the hand your folding when your heads up
+No option to mute a belligerent player
+Extreeemly anoying that when you go bust you cant rebuy! When I go bust at a
Casino I dont have to leave the table and come back. This is exteamly bad for the
game especially if you have achived the table image you wanted Then the table fills up
and you cant rejoin
+You cant reload to the table limit. If you have 10k left in a 100k table you should be
able to reload to the full 100k before the next hand begins. Just in case you hit a
monster hand on the next hand you can maximize your profit

3. Would be nice:
+Make the players deminor as happy, angry, sad, confused
+Use the analog sticks to make hand jestures
+Use analog sticks or buttons to move head
+When speaking on the mike have charachters lips move
+Prop betting ( Just kidding)
+Be able to sit on the couch in the back to take a breake (being blinded out)
This way other players don't have to wait 30sec every time its your turn and your away
from the table

I'm 100% sure if you ran this game by a poker pro he would of suggested most of this, and maybe more. Please Add some basic patches that all online poker games have.

Thanks
