Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: Whether you are already a seasoned tournament player or just a beginner, DD No Limit Texas Hold'em: Tournament Edition is for you.

 Rating:  - Good for playing against real people; horrible AI opponents.I very rarely review products, but this one needs it. I primarily got DD Poker to play against live opponents, at which the game is fairly good, if not a bit slow. I did want to practice against AI opponents as well, however, hoping to find some game theory implementation so that I could practice against statistically consistent players of different types. There is nothing consistent about the AI in this game. The AI can often see the flop (and sometimes as far as the river) before it ... Read More Rating:  - Quick! Order this if you play Texas Holdem.I can't believe I only paid $5.87 for this winner. This is a great learning and practice tool for any Texas Hold'em Player. Lots of options to set. Love the sound of the cards dealing. Some of the info presented during play: Clock,Pot Odds,Hand Strength,Rank at Tables and your playing style. Rating: - best online playI have been playing DD poker live online for a few months now and I can say that the quality and skill level of the DD players is second to none.Definately for the player who is serious about their game.All in all the time just dosn't cut it here.The players host the games and have the ability to ban abusive players.I like that.open and invite only games can be hosted or played,The forums at DD are super.Easy to get involved.Bottom line is the quality of play,excellent options,good practice tourneys ...

I liked the original version, DD Tournament No Limit Hold Em and this new version of the game is in some ways better. The graphics are sharper,it has a lot of helpful tools for weaker players and even lets you pick which style your opponents will play. The real problem is there is nothing impressive at all about the AI. A lot of the players make totally awful decisions preflop ... Read More Rating: - Mixed FeelingsI bought this title because it didn't cost as much as some of the other options and because I didn't figure Phil Gordon would endorse anything that wasn't useful. The poker calculator and tournament timer are great features, although the calculator is painfully slow compared to pokerstove, which is free. The home game I play in uses the tournament timer, although that's all the use I personally have for it at present. I have not tried playing online through this program, since ... Read More |
