Texas Hold 'em



Interesting "free" concept

Better than nothing. Although it was initially touted as free, later on they announced that were going to charge for it probably due to RiverBelle dropping as a sponsor. I suspect after that announcement they got enough bad press that decided they should at least make it free for a couple of days. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth and be happy with what you get.

Texas Hold 'em



Interesting "free" concept

that's weak, i think I'll stick to partypoker, it's free and I can actually win money.

I don't really understand the motivation to play poker with a bunch of points no-body cares if they win or lose. I mean, no-limit especially would just be retarded. There has to be a true incentive for keeping your chips.

This 48 hour thing is also ridiculous btw, whoever came up with that idea should be demoted.

edit - wait a sec, I just realised that anyone who downloads it in the first 48 gets the full version for free, not just a 48 hours unlocked demo. That's actually pretty cool, give the guy a promotion!!
