DESCRIPTION

Scenario Poker is a widget for Texas Hold'em limit poker. It takes ten minutes to learn and a lifetime to master. You'll be playing in a three-round, shootout tournament against up to 27 simulated opponents. When you run out of chips, you're out. But if you win everyone's chips, you keep advancing to the next table until you're the champion!

Features:
  • See a lot of hands fast!
  • Built-in help
  • Customizable graphics
  • Tracks your statistics as you play
  • Create your own opponents
WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.9.2:

Macworld's Widget of the Month!

  • If you're a registered user, you can now use your own name and photo from your Mac OS X Address Book, along with absolutely whomever else you'd like to simulate playing poker with. Check out the Address Book Integration tutorial to learn how, at http://scenario.com/poker/support/AddressBook.htm
  • Version 2.9.1 includes quick fixes for Activation and Address Book randomization.
  • Version 2.9.2 fixes player photo problems upon reaching the second table and zooming the widget.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

    WJB3WVU  I've paid for this program, twice. Once for the original, then for an upgrade beyond my original version.

    I was surprised that the upgrade to 2.9.1 didn't automatically pick up my previous registration, but it didn't, and since I've lost track of it I'm relegated to a stripped down, rather buggy version now (explanation below)

    Guess I'm out of luck there, until I pony up yet again.

    As for the bugginess... 1) trying to enlarge the program results in only half a window, until I actually start a game, then resize. 2) I get photos of players in the small version, but not in the enlarged window. Maybe it's reading a stray electron carrying my registration!  (Version 2.9.1)

    SCENARIO  Umm, WALLYDOG, simpy click the zoom icon in the top-left corner to make the widget double in size. Previous release notes stated that Scenario Poker is zoomable but I guess you missed that. The common usage scenario is to zoom Scenario Poker larger when you're playing it, then zoom it smaller when you're not. That way you don't have to close it.  (Version 2.6)

    **...

    WALLYDOG  Scenario poker is barely acceptable. The screen is too small to see easily, it's difficult to tell who's betting and response to button clicks is sluggish at best. Besides that, other players never bluff (it's easy to tell when someone's gotten a pair) and don't seem to respond to bluffs.

    If you've really got to play and you've got nothing else, give it a try.  (Version 2.5)

    PACKMAN  For what it is I think the program is great. What I think would bring it Forward is 1. Be able to replace computer players with real players on a local network.

    2. Some how a way for the Networked "HOST" to save the game for future continuation so when say lunch is over it could be saved for the next day.

    This would make It an awsome program the gameplay is great. Just need a way to get more HUMAN thought into the game and get the real BLUFF factor in it.

    Thanks for letting me get my two cents in.

    Jim  (Version 2.0)
