Texas Hold'em Poker is by far the most popular version of poker and this is an excellent version. You can play against the computer with up to six other players created by the computer or you can play real opponents via the internet.

Your game environment is a well laid out window with your opponents spread out around the display of the spread in the middle, not like a real table but I found it neat and easy to use. If you are playing live opponents via the internet there is also a chat function in the window. Your playing options are displayed for you and advice on your chances are shown in a box on screen. You can even adjust the speed the game is played if you like longer to take your turns.
