Poker Club
So, I’ve seen bad reviews for this game. For a poker game, it’s not bad. The animations, I thought, were a little slow. As it turns out, though, it’s just a part of poker. It ’s a grind and decisions take time. As far as the career aspect you start out where you should, with 50k playing in low level tourneys. That 50k can be lost! Be careful. A lot of people have complained about having to play against bots. These bots are not easy targets. You will not always beat them. I prefer playing against bots as opposed to waiting 15-30 mins. for a table to fill. I want to play not stare at my computer screen. They are a good training tool in my opinion. The 11 hours I’ve put in netted 20k profit. Yes, this game is a grind. Only buy it if you’re competitive and like poker. I joined a low level knockout tourney and it took me just over an hour to win. I had to play four times. The AI is AGGRESSIVE. They, at times, make dumb bets based solely on their pocket cards. For example, AI player has a King, Jack. It will bet and continue to bet even if they don’t hit anything on the flop. They will also make HIGH bets which you will have to judge for yourself if they’re bluffing. Nothing cranks me up like getting bluffed by a 3-2 off-suit, lol. However, if you don’t play smart and aggressive yourself the AI players will push you right off the table. Play smart or throw your money away. The dev is very up to speed on how to properly play poker and there are advanced theories in the game explaining a few of them. For example, how seat placement at the table affects how you should bet. Good game in my opinion. It needs some polishing. Better AI tactics I’d say. If you like or are interested in poker this game is for you. Beware. This is not a sit and win your way to the top of the food chain in a week or two game. It’s about the most serious investment of time I’ve ever seen in a poker game. So, come prepared or go home…broke!

I waited long for a game that isn’t like from the 90s: Only some cards on a table with top view. It’s 2020 and I want an immersive game not a bad looking mobile/facebook game. And it’s what I wanted:
-
immersive gameplay with nice graphics and animations (hence ofc its slower)
-
customizing your character/table with a lot of stuff to finally use your chips
-
a lot of game modes
-
nice tricks, emotes and different locations
-
and statistics, a lot of them: general, after cash game or tournaments. Love it here and always missed it in other games.. :)
