Customer Reviews
Great texas hold'em game. Different then the rest.
I would like to say this is a
very fun Texas hold 'em poker game. The other reviewer must have never
played texas hold'em before, as the odds are fine, its how you read the
computer opponents and play your cards. This game is different than the
rest because you use your money to purchase building and towns, and you
can even wager the buildings in cash games, which comes in handy
sometimes when you want to take more of the pot but dont have the cash
flow.
Spectacular Bang For The Buck!
The last time I really
enjoyed a poker game, was playing Poker Academy online. The alternative
currency - PAX - gave players a realistic comparison tool, without
having to spend real money.
For a long time, I've been seeking a
poker game with a deeper story line; something beyond just cards. This
game fits the bill perfectly. Accumulating money, then real estate, and
then towns, allows you qualify in higher stakes games with more talented
players from neighboring towns.
I own three towns currently,but I
must warn you - this game is best played when your patience and
interest is high. Otherwise, you can make careless decisions, which the
opponents will be sure to capitalize on. When money runs too low to buy
entry into tournaments or cash games, you'll then have to sell of
property to free up some cash. In my experience, this game rewards
somewhat conservative play. Whenever I get impatient and loosen up too
frequently, I almost always pay a steep price. As I'm starting to work
my way out of the nsighboring towns, I'm finding that players bluff mych
more frequently, and are tougher opponents in general.
Far as
suck-outs. Yes, they happen, but they work both ways. I've been on the
receiving end of a few river cards. By no means, is this game
unbeatable. It's challenging for sure, but if you play somewhat
conservatively and avoid foolish decisions, placing in the money during
tournaments isn't that hard.
For the price especially, you will
never find a better poker game than Governor of Poker. It may not be
high tech or overly fancy, but it keeps me interested. I can't recommend
it highly enough.
Fun, But...
Very difficult game to win. I
rarely leave reviews even though I am usually very pleased with the
products I buy from Amazon. But I need to say that this game could have
been so much fun to play. The goal of the game is to win either regular
poker games or tournament games and buy all the property of a particular
town. Once you win enough tournaments or regular poker games, then you
play a more difficult computer player to win a mode of transportation to
go to another town. I love the concept of playing poker with this type
of goal in mind. However, it is very, very difficult to win any of the
games. No matter which mode I play (easy, medium, or difficult), I
rarely win a hand. I have counted 17 consecutive hands that I didn't
even get a pair while the AI players were getting three of a kind,
flushes, straights, and full houses. I used different strategies and
still got the same results...constant lousy hands. Every once in a while
I would finally get a pair, but usually lost to the computer player
that had a 3 of a kind or better hand.
So, in fairness to the
creators of this game...I will try to contact them to see if there is
some sort of patch or strategy I am missing. If so, I will leave an
updated review in the future. But after spending quite a few hours
playing this game, I am pretty disappointed at the low odds of getting a
decent hand (or even a pair) and most likely will not play it much
more.
Edited Review:
I have had a chance to play this game
again and I am changing my review. This is a challenging game and
requires quite a bit more patience. I eventually won the game and have
come to really enjoy it! So I give it 5 stars for creativity and fun!
Just know that it's not always great hands and quick wins for you....you
will have to work for it, but it will be a rewarding feeling once you
win the final game!
