  • Joke

    One simple fact of this app, if you don’t pay for fake chips it will not allow you to win, period. You can get a few wins but they will immediately correct that with unrealistic hands that miraculously you lose every hand that statistically are not possible. If you enjoy playing poker this not the app for you. If you simply want to lose in impossible ways then this is the game for you. However I guess there are people that don’t know how far from reality this game is and they just don’t care. In that case play on in the land of imagination.
    Update. Thank you for your response which in no way applies to the review I wrote. I really don’t see how that statement could even be considered by the author. I don’t think anyone has ever thought of shuffling the cards during the hand. But thanks for letting us know that you guys don’t do that.

  • It’s Fake

    I just played to tournaments with the hands dealt being identical to two tournaments I ha previously played. I believe they were even the same two players. I guess it is kinda fun to see if you can out bet the system, I am just disappointed it is not random.

    In response to developer:
    Within a 24 hr period I played cards that were identical. I beat on a pair of Aces and was beat by two pair, Aces and Sevens. The entire tournament was familiar to me. The Aces vs Aces-Sevens loss was significant because the opponent had beat aggressively on previous hands disguising his stronger position. My thoughts on how the beating had transpired was identical, which triggered the memory. The very next tournament was also familiar. I have an excellent memory and I’m confident this isn’t random dealing. I decided after thinking through how I wanted to spend my time to delete the app.

  • Nirvana

    Finally! No monotonous music at the table! Among the poker apps this has become my go-to. WSOP has a shot clock that’s way too short. I like the pace here at PokerStars. Update - please come up with something more entertaining than “you guys have fun” & “can’t call that much”. They’re lame sayings. How about, “cold deck” or “dealer hates me”, etc… c’mon it’s not that tough to come up with something better than something no one would ever say. Also, if someone folds by timing out make them sit out a hand. Also, showing the hole cards needs to pause longer at the end of each game. It goes on to deal the next game so quick you can’t make sense of it all sometimes and it’s really annoying when it says somebody won by something you did not see revealed. Lastly, implementing some basic AI that detects a troll going all-in time-after-time just to ruin a game would be nice. And one more thing, regarding league standings, the losses need to be subtracted from the gains. Not doing so is incentive for trolls repeatedly to go all-in with impunity.

  • It’s free and a great way to see flops. Lots of donkeys but still worth the free-dollars

    BRING BACK “BET ON POKER” LIVE DEALERS

    The only reason I don’t give it a 5 star is because there is no bet-on-poker live feed anymore. Being able to see 6 hands dealt by real cards shuffled before your own eyes! The single best way to see flops and run outs ever in real-time instead of just trying to conceptualize raw probability and translate to betting and bluffing/bluff catching like an autist. Tournament payouts aren’t the best, better to play sit-and-go. Their chips for ads schema is solid and allows you to toss some chips around for free which is fun.

    But when they had the live-feed of those nice Baltic/Slavic lasses and lads dealing and shuffling, it was like having a private service to show you flops, and I actually bought an embarrassing amount of chips to try and reach 10 Billion by betting probability, and I did it. It was awesome. When I lost the 10Billion on wild betting in large games and the largest tournaments, I would have spent thousands to buy a bunch more chips if I could watch the live dealers again. This live poker dealing really upped my table play at the local Ameristar. I started playing open ended straight draws a lot more if the pot odds were there, like the southeast Asian players do, after watching them come out like crazy over thousands of live deals over the course of a few months.

  • Not a poker game

    This game is not a poker game. Don’t get me wrong, it is an excellent platform for a pseudo-poker experience. This is a game that’s designed to get you to give them as much money as possible. Periodically I will get some kind of mechanism which would give me a bunch of money but then my hands become incredibly bad. I was lucky enough to get one of those scratchers they gave me $50 million and then every single one of my hands became garbage. I’m a pretty good poker player, but the odds and play change dramatically it’s designed to get you to run out of chips so that you will buy more chips from them. This can be very frustrating as every other aspect of this is fantastic it’s a three person game it’s really fast moving etc. etc., But it’s really designed to get you to run out of money so you have to buy more chips and that can be extremely frustrating the people who want to play. I don’t believe they’re Fairplay garbage it’s just been happening too often you’ll get really great hands and then the other guy will get a better hand etc. etc. it’s just simply fixed.

  • Never, ever make a purchase here!

    I paid $50. for chips that they admitted they canceled after it was paid! Now they won't give chips I paid for, they won't give me a refund AND they say that since I bought through Apple they can do nothing & will do nothing! What is this crap? Give me chips! You have my receipt, you see you received the money, give them! It has nothing to do with Apple, it's all on you so take care of business. I will be telling everyone to stay away from Poker Stars, I'm going to post about you stealing from your customers everywhere that has poker interests. Do the right thing! And stop deleting my reviews, I have the right to post about my experience.
