CORPSECORPS I caught 1 procedural error and one just odd behavior. The first was at the showdown of a game of 5 Card Draw, 3 players were still in the hand, including myself but only 1 of the other 2 players' hands were revealed before i was awarded the pot. The 2nd sneered, but her cards were never shown. The second oddity comes when betting. If, for instance, the highlighted button says "Call 15", 15 will also show in the text box, though nothing has yet been bet. That would be okay if when the player clicked on chips, the 15 was increased and the 15+ addition was shown being moved to table, followed by the "Raise" button being highlighted with the raise amount. Instead, if the player wishes to raise by 5 with a $5 chip, the chip pile must in this case be clicked 4 times, with 1 chip moving to the table including sound effect each time, and the text box continuing to read '15' until the final chip is shifted. THEN the "Raise 5" button highlights. If clicking the chip pile is going to count the value of each chip leading up to the full bet, the 'bet' text box should also begin counting at zero. Confusing this way. | |

CORPSECORPS Pretty buggy for a late "minor bug fixes" release. I've seen some rendering problems and had overlapping voices. One set of "red" card backs is actually blue. Also had my 3 of a kind beaten by 2 pair! AI does seem a bit random. (Version 4.3.1) | |

ARTWILSON22 This game is extremely frustrating in two senses: 1. it continually misevaluates poker hands, i.e. a Two Pair beats a Three-of-a-Kind 2. the no-limit AI plays like monkeys Other than that, its ok. (Version 4.2) | |

AKSHNFGYR 5 STARS all the way!!!!! Best all-around computer generated poker game i've seen. And i've seen a lot in the past 20+ years on Mac. And .. BONUS .. support is nearly *instantaneous* if you have a question or a problem. I'm not related to, nor do i get 1 cent from this software author. But he and his software rocks! Wish there were a lot more great games with excellent support out there like this one. | |

JAVA_ADDICT I don't believe it knows hands. I did discover that you can "push the other players around" with a big stack. Bet big pre-flop, on the flop and the turn--leaving them only a few dollars in their stack. DO NOT raise them all in. Then, on the river, raise them all in for their last few bucks... more often than not, they fold. Once I figured this out, it was cool for a day or so. But it totally ruined the gameplay for me. Now I play DD Poker instead. It may not have the eye candy, but it has far superior AI. (Version 4.0.4) | |

JOSEPH.MCKENNA1 I bought & paid for the original version of IPoker & it worked well.I later downloaded the upgrade & have had all kinds of problems with it. Last week I emailed the developer & am still waiting for a reply. It would be ni ce to hear from him Joseph Mckenna (Version 4.0.4) | |

No time at the moment for a serious review. Been the best poker software around for some time. I've seen zero evidence for claims of it's AI knowing your cards. (Version 4.0.4) | |

ANONYMOUS Other than the nice graphics and sound this demo, once you've played awhile, begins to show it's limitations. The AI tends to favor one player above the rest and folds hands for no apparent reason. It's like you playing five hands of 7 card and trying not to know what's in the other hands... it clearly does... like when one of the AI players folds two pair (showing) when the other players have nothing showing that could beat it (but ends up they have in the hole cards). Anyway, it's entertaining briefly, but beyond that it really becomes evident just how poorly the AI functions as four other players and a 'random' deck of cards... (Version 3.4.1) | |

SCENARIO Another flawed analysis of the AI. Just like on real poker tables, people tend to see what they want to see. iPoker does not "peek" at other hands, nor does it favor one player over another. I'm the first to admit the AI is not perfect (what game is?), but the point is to have fun and learn a little about the poker and over 100 variations. iPoker is a game, after all. (Version 4.0b3) | |

STEVE A. Great program; however, computer players call way too often (even with only a Jack high). Seem that call-to-pot odds need to be adjusted by the programmers because the supplied sliders don't do the trick. In games where position matters a lot (ie., Hold 'em), computer will play bad hands "under the gun" and call just about anything to see the flop (even raise sometimes). This occurs too often to be a random bluff. Also, I haven't figured how to change the limits. (Version 3.4.1) | |
