The regular poker rooms suck because people go all in all the time, BUT if you go into the tournaments people get really serious and if they go all in you can pretty much always ignore them and they'll lose and fade away

pretty good interface, however it's missing some very BASIC rules pertaining to betting. If someone raises to $1M for example, and someone else re-raises all-in for $1.1M, that shouldn't allow the original raiser to re-raise again. Not a big deal since it's not for real money, but if you want this to be realistic, you NEED to fix this, as it's not allowed ANYWHERE

another thing that bothers me, if me and another player have 2 pair and another player has 1 pair, why does the money go to the other guys when one had a worse hand?

Firstly, I'm not sure but I'm missing the sit-out button. If I'm on a call it's great to have because it is poker etiquette to click the sit-out button so that others don't have to wait for your timer to run out. Secondly I'm happy to know I'm not the only one that thinks the honor system is bad. I limp 23 suited on the preflop and catch only one heart, my opponent beats 1000, with a running flush draw plus a lower hand of the flush draw it is profitable to fold so then the flush comes and I lose honor points? Donks are jumping out of their seats to mess the flush but good poker players think i made the right decision, it wasn't profitable and it was the lower end of a flush draw. But good players get punished for making the right decision with honor system...that system needs a makeover!

Um... weird how Hold Em Texas Managed to enter a kids website.. ( Although this website is turning out to be moar than that let me tell you ;) )
But still... I play a lot of Holdem on facebook and in real life... it's amazing and although this is the Deluxe version, it is still epic... I can't really say much on this since it is based on luck of cards and whether or not you make the right choices... 8.5 / 10

This isn't poker, it's slot machine. Throw in all your chips and hope for the best? Crap. Once again a game of skill and luck is reduced to a game of dumb luck and wishful thinking because the game design encourages the worst kind of play.
1/5 stars. If I could give negative stars I would.

A month ago a player warned the table, that a guy at the table was playing with 2 different player: Parambir & Ricky. Then the player (or players) immediately left. The last couple of weeks I have him several times (Parambir Levell. 60 and Ricky Levell 71) at the 200K/400K table. Always playing the 2 Id's. Be aware.

Chips are too easy to come by in this game. I'm going to back to playing VIP Poker. Screw this all-in before you see your cards crap. I hate the comment box and all the other stuff all around.

for those who dont like the all in style- stick to the tourneys and wait out the crazy players. try to be patient, this will help alot

Fair warning to anyone considering this game, I find it to be extremely difficult to enjoy myself, as every table I'm sitting at has people who go all-in at their first chance. I always have to fold because the majority of my hands can't be a sure bet until I see the cards. Unfortunate that this ruins the game for me.

I have joined the many who have rated your game one star because of the stupid "honor system". I agree that it promotes nothing but pre-flop all-in betting, which is the antithesis of a good poker match.

Not a fan of the "honor" system. If I want a war game I will play one, and there is not even necessarily any honor in any given military anyways, sometimes it is simply oppression paid by debt (i.e. money borrowed on the backs of children and the unborn, not exactly honorable).
If you want to improve the game, I suggest a form of computer analysis based on the statistics, odds, and playing style of opponents, that would truly be informative and interesting, and worth coming back for for anyone wishing to improve their game.

I have also re ranked this game to one star because of the honour system.
People are playing even worse than usual. I doubt I will be back to play this game again.

i understand if i lose the hand then i lose honor points but folding the hand and still lose honor points... what kind of honor is that... they should just get rid of the honor points... there is enough dumb players already...

So I lose honor just cause I'm playing poker like it was mean't to be played??? Yeah because that makes a lot of sense and influences bad poker play. This is not for the more skilled poker players. Only for donkeys and luck boxes.

There should be a mode with a maximum raising cap just like there is with the minimum raising cap. Too many people going all in with a pair.

Honor is 'won' by winning. Losing a hand or folding loses you honor. Even folding a hand before betting loses you honor. So if you have a bad hand, the only way to get honor for it is to bet high/bluff and hope nobody calls you on it (because if they do and you lose, you lose honor). It's a bad system which punishes players for playing smart poker (not rushing every hand) and rewards bad play (over betting and pushing too hard with bad cards).
