You didn't enjoy his dubstep song?
I'm actually finding it much easier, but maybe that's because I've been playing mostly Omaha on it and the computer seems to be bad at Omaha.

It destroyed competitive straight, stud, and draw Poker. Granted draw has not been a really competitive game since the 30s, more of a home game to introduce people to Poker. Now everyone only wants to play Holdem or another community card variant. To me, the bluffing in community card is much less than in the others. And since whenever anyone talks poker now it is always assumed to be Holdem, that is the main reason why I hate it.
I use to be able to get games of the other variants frequently, now it is nigh impossible. The last Casino I went to had about a dozen Poker tables, all playing a variant of Holdem.

See I like the fact that Holdem became so popular because it offers a great opportunity to get people together to play it and then to introduce them to variants (we often have "dealer call" games). Without holdem's popularity, I think there would be far fewer people interested in getting together for poker night at all, let alone trying out "midnight baseball" "between the sheets" or even just stud and draw variants.
I am glad it works for you, it is just not for me, atleast not often. Sadly RPS gave this one a subpar review so Ill be passing. I was willing to play Holdem so I could play against Claptrap and the Tick, but it will be a wait until it is on super sale title.
I'm not a big Texas Hold'em player and this game is really showing me why, I'm doing pretty horrible in it. The dialogue is fun though.
Is it just me or does Sam fold early very often? He's hardly ever involved in any of the hands I'm dealt. I also seem to go 1 on 1 with Brock a lot, and he tends to win those more often than I'd like too, haha.

I've found that if you can coax an opponent into re-raising you, you can reraise them again and they will almost always fold. I've won every single showdown I've been in by following this tactic.
