Fun look into Telltale's beginnings

Despite its age, it’s still fun to play, as it seems to play the same as Poker Night at the Inventory. It’s also still funny, and like Poker Night at the Inventory after it, it will take you many plays before you hear all of the dialog. Telltale Texas Hold'Em is well worth buying for its asking price of $5, especially if you haven't yet played Poker Night at the Inventory. Even if you have played Poker Night, you may still find some fun with the game as there are a lot of good jokes here.

Characters: Funny and Ruthless

Thanks to this game, I’ve learned that I suck at poker. Anyway, it isn’t the poker that has me coming back to this game. It’s the characters. Thanks to the amount of dialog each has, as well as it all being cleverly written, makes it feel almost like you’re playing against people with lives rather than CPUs. They are also unrelenting: either you’re good at poker or you learn to get good. No easing into the game here. But then again, I guessing the assumption was that people buying a poker game would know how to play poker in the first place, so I guess there would be no real reason to teach the game.

Seems reasonable Texas hold ‘em sit’n’go

I got this game really cheaply and I’ve only played it a little bit but I’d say that: Pros – The opponent AI is decent. Tournaments don’t run long as there are only four other players on your table. Dialogue between your AI opponents can be amusing but it’s not hilarious and will quickly get repetitive. Cons – No save function so that you can quit and resume your game later on. You can only play no limit Texas hold ‘em poker. There are only four characters at your table, which never change. They could become predictable but I’ve not played enough to see how they respond to certain plays in certain situations. In conclusion, I’d say that if you can get this game at a big discount, it is a decent introduction to the game of no limit Texas hold ‘em. It will make you familiar with how a sit and go tournament runs. There is text on the rules of the game available to you before starting a game. You might even get to like playing with these characters. I’m not familiar with other poker games available on GOG or even if there are any. If you’re serious about card games, a better option would be a game with more variety of card games, variation in players and tournament size as well as maybe a function to calculate your chances of winning a hand, given the board, which would help new players to improve. Score: 2/5

A poker game with funny head NPCs.

2.5 stars It's good for a cheap poker game but one small niggle about it is that while you can skip or turn off the chat between the characters there is still a delay in between each move which slows down the game if you want to play quickly. There is the option to let the computer play on while you watch to see who wins the tournament.

This was a steal..

For 19 cents it's cool. Only problem I have crashes every 40 minutes of play. I feel sorry for everyone that paid more than I did for it.
