 Could be better September 1, 2008

There's not much in the way of poker for the wii. For some reason, there was no battle for the bracelets on the wii but there was for the DS.
Anyway, you can create your player, with a limited number of features.
There's a bunch of unlockable features as well, but these are not necessary to play the game. The difficulty level is decent.
My major complaint is that the game is slow. When the action is to you, and you fold, it takes some time for the betting to progress or give you the option to skip. You can always skip the computer players, but it lags when it's your turn.
The graphics are okay. It was worth the $19 I paid for it. But I wouldn't have paid anymore for it. There's minimal uniqueness to game play with the wii-mote and nunchuk, but it's not necessary.
I hope the next entry makes it onto the wii.
 Lots of fun! Addicting... January 10, 2008

I love to play poker, online and in casinos. The AI in this game is not the most realistic I've encountered ... e.g.,the bets are often way too high compared to the blinds (players often raising 10-20 times the blinds with borderline cards out of position). But it is good enough and very challanging as a video game (Note: NOT good for real-life poker training)
However, I love the interface and the funny characters. The graphics are a little rough, but it does give me a feeling of sitting in a casino and being at the final table on TV with some of my favorite poker players -- TJ Cloutier, Scotty Nguyen, Andy Black, Phil Gordon.
I also like the fact that I can create an avatar that kind of looks like me. That way I can pretend that I'm playing the World Series circuit and can see myself and my name on TV!
The hosts and the yawning, sneezing and repetitive chatter are pretty silly, but it doesn't annoy me like it does others. Actually, I can't wait to try some of the AI character patter at my next real table ("that'll keep the farm in the family" and my favorite "this hand is screaming for oragami - so I shall fold it" LOL!)

It's pretty fun. The game is a much better improvement over the GC version. It ease of use and funny remarks is very entertaining.
