What's New in Texas Hold’em
2.1
October 9, 2019
Texas Hold’em comes to iPad—enjoy it full screen, or play it while you do something else using Split View or Slide Over.
This update also includes accessibility improvements and performance enhancements.
In the later stages the artificial difficulty goes up and it happens in a number of very obvious ways. Firstly your hole cards are gonna be awful. Secondly the AI is super aggressive pre-flop. I finally if you do actually get decent hole cards you can guarantee every single person at the table will fold. I imagine nobody has managed to complete the latest stages as it’s impossible
It’s a shame because the interface is really cool but just stick to the early cheap tables if you wanna quick game.
