Game Chest Logic Games has assyncronous multiplayer for the chess game. And cross-plataform with the PC version. But it is the only one up to now. Microsoft should hurry with the LIVE updates for the Windows Phone 7, some games are ridiculous without multiplayer.

Just got done doing a 4 hour private match with friends and bots. There were too many laughs and good times to be had to not justify this purchase. Hell, even a few mini-memes were being created.

I for one hate Claire. She always seems to screw me everytime I throw down with her.
I played for a good few hours last night..
Was really surprised how well it plays. Went straight into online ranked tourney... won it. And it wasn't full of 'all ins'. Was a pretty serious match, lasting a good hour.
I've just added (or trying to add) NEOGAF Poker to my friends list, but fail for some reason. Anyone help?
I'd be up for a few evening sessions!
Anyways, my GT is Toff74
edit: sussed it. It's POKER NeoGaf

Yes to the first question- you even get to choose which cards to show.

The only thing I don't like about the game is how they present the all-in moments. I wish it would focus in on who is going against who and what their holding in their hand along with what the dealer turns over.
Other than that I put this easily in my top 5 XBLA in terms of value.

Just played a few games online, they really did a fantastic job of putting together the game in a way that maximizes presentation without slowing down the game. Extremely well done overall, they should seriously consider offering this game free to all Gold members for one weekend to play the Texas Heat mode. They don't need to open up the entire game, just whatever is needed to play Texas Heat.
On a seperate note when I get back on better financial ground I will buy a couple 1600 MS Points cards or something similar to give away in a NeoGAF Tournament. What do you guys think, is this something you'd be interested in? Asking for some sort of buy-in could turn ugly, but a donated prize or two wouldn't cause many, if any problems. Anyways, just a thought, let me hear whatcha think.
I'm going to be playing most of the afternoon during the NCAA games so shoot me a message on LIVE- GamerTag: UR BUS IS SHORT
Oh and make sure you send a friend request to POKER NeoGAF so we have a pool of GAF players. I setup the account and will be checking it, and accepting the friend requests all throughout the day.

I seriously doubt they have a 30 min time limit. The blinds in the ranked normal tourneys go up about every 10 min or so and are not timed
For the Heat live tourney, they probably just start every 30 min and go until they finish.
there is no time limit for ranked tourneys. Wouldn't make sense for the heat events to have them either.

I'm getting this today.
Looks good enough. Wish it had cam implementation. This could've been the next UNO.

Bought and played this last night, super addictive. I was playing the old Texas Hold'em still and this seems like an updated version with Avatar support. It's funny to hear people talk and watch their Avatar do the exact thing they are saying like "too rich for my blood" then the Avatar throwing the cards away.
I love seeing too how everyone has dressed their Avatar. Sounds silly but you get that guy that wins a hand over you and he has some stupid head gear on and it just makes you more angry!!!
Over all, good game and worth the 10 space bucks.

Did you download the Texas Heat add-on? I don't recall exactly where its at in the game but it should be pretty obvious which has me thinking you didn't download the add-on.
I'll be back on my 360 in a sec and I'll be more specific.

Now we're talking. Much more interested if something like this gets going.Mizzou Gaming said:
And yeah, buy-ins would mean Paypal payments and whatnot, tracking who paid, sending the individual people who paid invites for the tourney, etc. Might be too much of a hassle.

You'd think that someone by now would have written a video game poker AI that can play Poker even at least mediocre. I'm not talking about even beating a seasoned pro or even a regular player, just at least not being a loose-passive calling station.
The logic seems to be:
[You bet postflop]
- Do I have any pair?
- Do I have a flush draw?
- Do I have a straight draw?
- Do I have at least one overcard?
- If yes to any of those questions, call a bet of any size.
[You bet all-in preflop]
- Do I have cards?
- If yes to any of the above questions, call.

Poker AI has never really been done well, at least for video games (dedicated poker sims like the Wilson suite are decent). I think Stacked had the most interesting AI in terms of poker games. It didn't fare too great though sales-wise.Mister Zimbu said:

I put the DLC on my download queue together with the full game (on PC). Later when I switched on the 360, I haven´t notice it, but I was quite tired. I will look again and if it does not show up I will re-download the DLC.

I thought Texas Heat was going to be a real tournament and not just "who gets the most XP in 30 minutes" 
. Oh well.
Played a $250 ring game on XBL against some pubbies. Cashed out $3,500 :lol

Anyone want to play hop on I'll setup a game. UR BUS IS SHORT is my gt.
Not going to lie, I only purchased this game because of a friend. I have no experience player poker in real life and have only actually played it virtually through Red Dead Redemption. That all being said, I'm doing pretty damn good and having alot of fun.
Only problem seems to be the networking and some strange losses while having the better hand. Besides that I'm really enjoying the game and it's presentation.

I finally got what was wrong. My 360 local setting was set to "Brazil". If I changed it back to US, the Texas Head option appears in the menu. So it is restricted to only some countries.

I like the idea Mizzou. Just sent a friend request to POKER NeoGAF.
I'm not running into any all in madness. In fact the games go on for too long. If they just lowerd the play timer 3-5 seconds and raised the blinds even 2 minutes quicker it could save 15-30 minutes if you do get to the final 2-3 players.
I'm away for the weekend so if anyone starts a GAF tourney next week let me know.
