Texas Hold'em is always my favourite poker game. This app is good enough for me enjoying the game. Pro version gives us 3 million chips at the beginning that would be spent quite a long time.

Game centre and Facebook are supported which make us more convenient to invite our friends playing the game together.

As I mentioned in the free version, it would be perfect if there is a digital input function besides the bet rise adjust bar, although the bar set to bet for the pool, it is still not that accurate especially when I was under the time limit stress condition.

Another suggestion, the auto Fold function is kind of similar to auto Check/Fold, so why don't delete the auto Fold but add an Auto Rise button instead? That would save time for waiting the other players when I play the check/rise style.

Personally I would highly recommend this poker game app due to the cartoonish interface and those hundreds of players who are always awaiting online.

Left a review as ewTang on US store.

This is pretty cool poker game app, the interface is friendly, and around one thousand people are normally online playing the game, there is no need to be afraid of lacking of players.

Pro version is very generous to give us three million chips and IAP discount, this is very sweet for a long run.

Game's layout is lovely most of them are sit and go, besides there are matching system for players who are finding a table.

Problems:
1) I get to say this game does have a problem about the connection to the server some times, I met the connection probelm twice yesterday.
2) I do hope the level system could be set as a limit when I open a table just like a house rule, I am not saying how good I am, but there are so many people just jump in the table and mess around there. I do take the game seriously.
3) The sound effect is kind of dull, if you could put more sound effects such as playing the chips and people whispering something like that, the game would be more realistic.
4) As I am an amateur to the game, I would be very happy to see the winning card percentage, that would be more helpful for me making the decision.

Hope this poker game will be better for the next upgrade.

There is no forget password function. If you forget your password, you cannot login. I used the same login as the free and I create the account again. I can login again. It seems like a bug.

I played as a guest and as well as registered user. I noticed that guest players will have fewer chips than registered users. Though it isn't specified clearly in the rules section, I feel this should somehow be written somewhere in the rules section. This game does not have a how-to play or rules section. I feel the developer can add this section between Leaderboards and Invitations to play and make a menu bar which can be slide up and down for users to choose. It is somehow wrong to assume that everyone knows how to play texas hold'em poker.

Another feature I noticed that the player cannot specify the amount to raise or call. It is usually fixed. Even the amount to raise is fixed by the slider bar. It will be nice to specify what amount the player wants to raise or call. Given the limited amount of chips available in the free game, it will be easy to wipe out your chips if the gamer is a novice player.But to bet, the user is given the choice what amount he wants to bet. There is no live chat section too. Users can only private message each other.

It will be nice to have a live chat section where players if not engaged in a game can rest and relax and chat up buddies before they feel comfortable to join a game together. The game crashed for me in the middle of the game and I can rejoin the game. Luckily, there is a fallback system for me to rejoin the game. I reckon the developers can add a feature to email the crash report from the application so that bug fixes can be done. I like to mention that if the game has built-in avatars for people to choose , it will be better to play with people with photos rather than empty faces. I think most people are shy in showing their real faces so either cartoon avatars can work here too.

reviewed as dreadnok almost forgot to post here, win or lose this is a great app worth $15 that I got for free so thanks, and yes I might have a gambling problem

Know when to hold em
Excellent game they really did a great job of making this a very beautiful looking game, the interface is simple and you're able to play against anyone at any given time, the tutorial, which a lot of these games lack ,is fantastic and can have a new player up to speed in no time just ask my girlfriend who's better at this game than me now.

The ability to communicate with your opposing players makes you feel more like you at an actual table instead of in your own home, and being able to invite friends to your table is a great feature especially if you're lucky enough to end up with a table of friends. I enjoy the rewards and achievements and being able to choose the table specific to my level of play.

You toss in the Sit & Go tournaments and Omaha HI and the only thing you're missing is the whiskey and the smoke. A real masterpiece of a game for fans of Hold'em just remember "You never count your money, while you're sitting at the table"
