Re: World Series of Poker

voice interaction is what Live is all about, and you don't get that in online poker rooms. plus beating a human opponent is more rewarding than the cpu.

You've got me with the voice in online poker; just me I guess, I'd rather play for something real.

As for beating a human opponent. Seeing as Stacked is using PokiBot, I'd rather play that for awhile and beat it then a human opponent. The chances of me finding people on Live that are that good is slim to none.

Re: World Series of Poker

Do you get live feeds of your online opponents with this? I mean, video, with the appropriate equipment. Because if it doesn't have live video of your human opponents, then I find it pretty pointless to play humans via voices. You can pick up much more from their facial expressions.

Re: World Series of Poker

nope. but there's a big difference between typing to someone and speaking with them. if you can't get out and get a game with your friends, sitting around the house and running a game on xbox live is a lot of fun. you can't really pick up any reads from any form of internet poker, it's just more fun with a mic.

Re: World Series of Poker

Well, I guess that's true, but don't they always have an option to turn off the headset (I don't have an XBOX so I know nothing about XBL, pardon me)? So with the headsets off, this is basically like PokerStars or PartyPoker or whatever other online sites minus the play-for-cash parts. I'd rather play online poker for economical reasons then (I save $50 or however much it is by playing in front of my computer). For hardcore poker players who play for cash (like myself ), I don't think a video game would be the best choice.

Re: World Series of Poker

This is one of the worst games ever and is highly over rated.(yes at 3.5)

Never thought I'd see anything worse than Pokerstars but here it is.

The first hint at it's awfulness was when I had pocket kings. I raise to 400$,a person with 650$ goes all in,I call. What do they have? A ****ing 9-7 offsuit...and they won with 2 pair leaving me short stacked. Very next hand I get A3 suited being short stacked I go all in get 1 caller. 9-7 off again...they win again with 2 pair. Apprently 9-7 off is the best hand in the game because when I played again it beat pocket aces,I wasn't in the hand that time though.
A lot of the hands I just end up staring at it and thinking what the ****!?

The hand that made me give up on the game was I had pocket 10's. Go all in. Called by 4 people. 7-3 off,4-5 off,J-7 off and K-Q off. Only 1 of those should've called. Of course I lost. I think the 4-5 won. It's worse than online.

I warned you bro.

Re: World Series of Poker

It got even worse. I gave it another chance. All in bets being made with/called by 8-2 off twice and 8-3 off and winning all 3 times. This game just makes me sick,good thing I only rented it.

Re: World Series of Poker

Yeah that is terrible. I'm trying to sell or trade my version. I'm really looking forward to the three upcoming poker games. I think they all are going to be great. WPT, stacked and WCP 2. There are a few videos of wcp2 at ign of Greg Raymer and Robert Williamson and they did voice over work for the game. To me having the player personalites in their adds a tremendous amount of realism/authenticity to the game. All three of these games are coming out withing a day or two of each other next month. I know poker is free online but I love these games. Two of them are $20 and one is going to be $30. Great deals!
