Free poker sites on the Internet are still the best way to play chips...

Before buying a poker game we would probably face the question: "Why should I pay for a game to play chips if there's lots of free poker sites on the Internet?"

Usually poker players want to pay for a poker game if they are going to play real money, not only meaningless chips. But maybe we can pay for a poker game if it has nice achievements, or private rankings, high-scores and stuff. This way our chips would not feel like totally meaningless. Or maybe we are looking for a poker game to play comfortably on the couch with big TV instead of the computer chair.

This game allows us to find people and have some poker, plus we can import our Mii character and players have funny voices for "call", "raise" and "fold" actions. The bankroll is good, we start with 2000 chips to play cash games with 10/20 blinds. But I never found STTs going on and it's annoying to have to just wait someone joins our game without knowing if there's anyone connected looking for games. I tried three times for about 3 to 5 minutes each and no one ever joined.

The game have a terrible blinds system, sometimes we have to play a big blind, then someone joins the table and we pay the big blind again, and and another one joins and we pay the BB again... The show cards option is incomplete, and completely unfair when cards are shown on all-in hands. Everyone else already fold and the game reveals only the cards of the player who got called. Those who pay the all-in remain with cards hidden. And would be really nice if we could use wii remote buttons to navigate through the game. I hate these point-only games...

The career mode seems to be nice, I 've played only the first of seven tournaments and it was really easy, so the difficulty can be "just right" or not, I can't say for sure.
