Summary: Save your money - buy Hoyle Casino instead
Review: This is a review of Bicycle Casino - 21 Games. As someone who plays No Limit Texas Hold 'Em in casino tournaments, I was looking for a Hold 'Em game that I could play with at home to practice with. There are a number of problems with this game. 1) First of all, your opponents will never fold before the flop - even if all they've got is a 2,4 offsuit and there have been 3 rounds of raising and re-raising. That's simply not realistic unless your playing poker with a bunch of absolute morons. 2) This lack of un-realistic opponents makes it difficult to practice poker theory and solid betting/bluffing strategies. 3) The "hints" offered by the game are often off the mark. 4) I find that my mouse blinks the entire time I'm playing the game, which is really annoying. And that's running the game on Windows 2000 with a 1 GHz processor and 256 MB of memory. 5) I don't like having to confirm the fact that I'm folding every time I fold. That slows the game down. If you're looking for a game that will help you play against morons that simply won't fold before they've seen 4th street, this is your game. If you want to practice poker theory and strategies, buy any of the Hoyle Casino games. I've played a lot of tournament poker and I'll tell ya the characters in the Hoyle game are very close to real poker players that you'll meet in casinos and card rooms.
