I have bought, played, and traded in every other poker game on the market. This is the first poker game to involve a skills system that players can develop throughout gameplay. The career mode is quite tough. Face it, turning $1000 into $50,000 is not easy. $50,000 is what you need to play Howard Ledderer. Graphics are by far the best of the poker games. Reality is by far the best... leaps and bounds over World Series of Poker where Chris "Jesus" Ferguson calls your all in before the flop with 5-3 offsuit, you have pocket Kings, and he makes a straight to win (Would never happen in real life). I even like the music. Let's face it though, simulating poker is almost like simulating going out to eat. You may as well just go and do the real thing.
