World Series of Poker 2008: Battle for the Bracelets (Xbox 360, 2007)

I like how the game is streamlined more fluidly than WSOP 2007. You can fast forward through the computers decision making which also saves a lot of time. Loading times are quick. The gameplay is a little quirky. I don't know if the AI is set to bluff an aweful lot, but there are some very prominant poker players that don't play as they would at the table. So, it gets tough to read your oppoenents. there are tools to help you along, keep track of pot odds, how many outs you have etc..Many more games than just No Limit hold em as well. But like I said in the title, the main tournaments can take days. With over 2,000 people in some of the early tournaments, it seems drwan out. But you can save mid tournament and come back later. There are times when you get invited by some pros to play cash games. Phil Helmuth has an excellent tutorial as well. There is also online play, but I have yet to try that.

If you love poker, you will like this game a lot. graphics, menus and commentary us sub par, but the playing is fun.

If you just want No Limit, buy the arcade game.
