Hey, I just noticed that the Xbox Arcade is currently offering a new game, "Texas Hold'Em" for free. It is only free for a 48 hour period, which ends sometime tomorrow, I think? After that, it'll probably be about $4 or $5 in credits.
I'm downloading it right now, I'll let ya know if it's any good.
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

I downloaded and only played for a bit. Went online, waited the 3 hands to get in. Deals me pocket 10's, but wont let me do any action, just skips me, and doesnt take money from me. The flop gave me a set, and a lot of people went all-in, but for some reason I just got cards, but wasnt allowed to do any actions.
I then tried the situation of even chip stack in heads up on single player. I dont think it is good practice, with a slightly bigger stack I kept on going all in pre flop for fun. The comp calls with A,10 offsuit against my A,9. Then it calls my all-in with 8,6 against my 8,4. So I think the game comp is a bit rigged :p
Add "scez" to your friends list if you ever want to play.

I would just like to add a link to a topic on the gamefaqs message board for this game. Topic is funny stories http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=932354&topic=30133598
The first post is about a guy being so mad that he folded 9,8 when he would have ended up rivering a king high straight, when any ace would beat him. Then some other person says why "would you ever fold 9,8 preflop, that is probably why I have won so many tournaments"
