Why pay, when you can get better games that do the same thing for free?
The one thing this game offers is a single player mode. You don't have to find live players to play against; you can just play against the computer. This would not be so bad if play did not progress so slowly. On top of that, you cannot skip to the end of the hand if you have to fold; you must simply wait for the hand to play out on its own. This mode was too frustrating for me to complete.
Online is just as bad. Again, play progresses so slowly as to be frustrating. The one thing this offers is the opportunity to talk to your opponents. Unfortunately, most players on Live are so unknowledgable that playing just isn't very fun. Am I going to call somebody's all in with Ace-rag? Probably not, but in this game it might be the best hand. Players tend to push all-in quite frequently, hoping to get lucky. If you try to play reasonably well, then you'll end up folding all the time. If you want to play at all, you'll need to take a chance with average cards and end up losing your stack. Of course, this is a problem when playing with free money, no matter the program, but the program is cumbersome and makes this game too frustrating to play. At least in most free games, play progresses so quickly that you do not sacrifice much time by folding frequently.
My advice: download a free program from one of the dozens of online poker sites and save yourself $10.
