Great AI, needs more features
This app works perfectly for practicing my strategy for small buy-in fast tournaments. However, its lack of any kind of career mode, escalating difficulty, or rewards for success make it simply a simulation and not a real entertainment experience.
That said, it gets 4/5 because the AI is so much better than other holdem games Ive played. Playing my fast, aggressive style I am able to win often but not always. The opponents react much more realistically to aggressive bets. They also go all-in with more frequency as their stack gets down around 10 big blinds or so. They seem to at least occasionally make moves based on position.
The game needs a menu screen. I dont like how it starts right away w/o an opportunity to choose my game type, etc. It would also be nice to be able to format games to start with only blinds, but then add antes at higher blind levels.
With a little work for version 2.0, this could be an outstanding game.
