Software Reviews and Criticism

  Governor of Poker

  It would be a big improvement if it didn’t miscalculate the winning hand on a regular basis. It would be nice if there was a button to push to find out why the computer thinks a pair beats a high card straight etc. There is no help available in the program. Examples: 1. The program gave the hand to a four card straight of low cards over a high singleton. 2. It gave the win to a low pair in hand over a higher pair in hand. The common cards were lower in rank then the higher pair in hand and didn’t help either player. Today a pair of 2s beat an ace high flush.

  impressive AI

  This game surprised me. It is extremely enjoyable, and I hardly play any computer games because I usually find them tiresome pretty quickly. The AI is excellent and the players provide a challenge to me, although I am not an experienced poker player so bear that in mind. Presumably Nate Silver would have no trouble at all :) But I am a newbie to poker and find it challenging but still manage to win and make money overall. So I think it is well-designed and nicely tuned. Sometimes the players bluff and sometimes they don't. Some are aggressive, some tight, and everywhere in between. It's a lot of fun and as long as I'm not fooled into thinking this means I can go to Vegas and make a fortune it's simply done me a big favor! I just saw that other reviewers have a problem with crashes, so it should be helpful information that I am running mountain lion on a PC and it hasn't crashed for me.

  Stranded and broke

  I’m stranded in Abilene with no money. It tells me to sell property or borrow money for the ante. Surprise, you can’t sell your property in another town, and Abilene has no bank. All I can do is hit the dadgummed calendar 20 times, and dismiss the reputation prompt about 12 times to get enough money to play again. Customer service, Sabrine, advised me to “wait ‘till money gets freed up, Watch a free video, invite friends, or rate us…..or just purchase some chips. But I can find no way to do any of those things, other than collecting fees. I sent more clarifying info just to be told, what towns sell what transport. Don’t the customer service reps ever read a complaint all the wsy through???? Ironically, I still like playiing this game!

  Great

  The game is great! You visit several cities in the old west, participating of poker game in different situations. Its very diverse and attractive. The number of oponents will vary from one to 24, but you play only against the computer. You have the option to invest money buying buildings that will help you to get more money in the future. In contrast, there is banks available to lend you some money when you loose all in the table. The grafics are good, and it is very dynamic. I really recomend the game!!
