One Game or a Whole Season?
There are four fun game modes for you to explore:
Challenges set out a series of unique scenarios for you to clear. For example, one of the first challenges is to survive twelve hands of no limit Texas Hold'em against five poker pros, learning the nicknames of starting hands along the way. Do you know the difference between big slick and snowmen? Do you know the Dead Man's Hand?
Season Play embarks you on an entire season of Poker Superstars action, participating in multiple games including the preliminaries, seeding, and the elimination tournament itself. Rack up those points and get yourself into the money! Patience and endurance are key.
Single Round is a sit-and-go tournament with six players at the table. In this way, the feel of this mode is similar to a home game that you may play with some of your real-life poker buddies. Blinds go up every eight hands, so make sure you get your chips in the middle with the best hand.
Limit Play lets you play the Limit style of Texas Hold'em where you are restricted in the size of your bet. Some people prefer this variation of the game, but it's No Limit Texas Hold'em that gets the most attention on TV and in the media.
Odds Are In Your Favor
Nowhere else can you have the experience of sitting down at a poker table with people like Jennifer Harman, Mimi Tran, and Eli Elezra. These are real poker superstars that will be challenging you for your chips. Are you going to use the old check-raise technique against them or are you the type that likes to lay on the aggression first? Whatever your style, poker never had it so good.
