People who play High Stakes Poker

Ive been wanting this game for a while, the only thing really holding me back is because I have no experience what so ever with poker and didnt wannt spend $10 and couldnt play Now that the PLAYSTATION Store is having a summer sale and the game is only $5 I think that I might get it anyway. First, to anyone who has this game I want to know, does this game teach you how to play?

Like the guy above above me said, there's no tutorial but a list of hands. You can probably figure out pretty soon if you play enough. If you still don't get it just look up on google. For $5 this is a great game, though I already own 4/5 summer sale at full price.

this game is awesome and at 5$ its a must have.  Add me if you want to play online sometime.  And i dont' know if this game teaches you how to play, I've NEVER played the single player, always online.

Re: People who play High Stakes Poker

Get the game, I was never much into poker or cards at all, played some strip poker back in high school days (20+ years ago!) and nothing since then. Picked up HSPoker during the sale and I'm hooked! Great online, although I'm ordering a headset now not just so I can talk but also so I can freaking mute some people, not sure why we can disable video but not audio without a headset but it is annoying getting into a game where someone is talking trash, or playing crap music in the background, or arguing with screaming kids, etc.

 

Mute your mics people if you aren't actively using them in game!

Re: People who play High Stakes Poker

The most popular game is Texas hole em.  There are 10 games as well.  Be sure to get the add ons from the store as well - they're free.  In the start menu go to "rules" and it will give you an idea of what is going to happen in each round of a hand.  Watch poker on TV (Travel channel has lots of poker) to learn more Texas hold em.
