if i play another round of poker with these homunculus' i will start hallucinating

It's the kind of game your grandparents would have on their Windows 7 PC that you tried to play once and got your ass kicked because you were a dumb seven year old It's fun for a round or two, but after that, you'll never touch it again. Unless you really have a thing for Janky Old PC Games, definitely skip this. Also, important note: if you want to play the game, you gotta go into the files and delete the file named "port". Do not enable full-screen either.

Something you would imagine when tripping on shrooms when seeing these models.

"Telltale's Texas Hold'Em" is a fun poker card game with interactive comedy cutscenes. I just won the whole tournament, and after all that, I can say that this game is good for some quick, fun sessions, assuming you have great time-management skills in real life. Can't believe that this was the very first game created by the legendary Telltale Games! One huge downside is the lack of modern hardware optimization! The game fails to load in fullscreen and can even crash during the boot-up screen on Windows. To run the game, just delete the "prefs.prop" file from the game's installation folder, then use 'Lossless Scaling's Integer Scaling' to scale it back up to fullscreen from 640p perhaps to your native display resolution. However, it runs fine out of the box on most modern Linux distros. Telltale should really remaster this game at this point, along with a sequel. Go for it. You will have a great time with it. And if you want to learn about the card game, I would suggest playing 'Balatro' first to get familiar with the poker hand system, or just check it online, your choice. :)

Honestly, this is still a solid Poker simulator while also being an interesting history piece regarding TellTales early years and as the predecessor to the Poker Night at the Inventory series. Which is a little funny as of the three Telltale Poker sim games, this is the only one they still hold the rights to as the other two are buried under licencing agreements. Gameplay and Mehanics: If you know how to play Poker, this won't be a hard game to jump into. If you don't, the game does have tutrials, and the I.A id VERY forgiving so this isn't a bad place to learn the game. Speaking of the I.A, the characters around the table seem to have their own playstyle and tells. The Grandma will seemingly only bet high if she has something to play while Boris will go on in seemingly at random and will often be the first to bust out. Theodore seems to be the best player of the group and will fold often, while Harry seems to be the most balanced in terms of his patterns. That being said all the players will at times bet high despite not seeing the flop. I busted out two players just by matching their all in bets before the flop and just winning due to luck? I also never lost with more than a three of a kind and during my first playthrough the A.I players seem to only get more than a pair twice on the reveal. I watched gameplay from Youtube creators and this seems to be consistent. This was meant as a tech demo afterall so it wouldn't make sense for the game to be too hard. As it stands, it's an easy poker game to kill forty-sixty minutes playing. Characters and setting. The game is set in what could be called a generic broadcasted Poker setting. The announcer is also kind of plain but fits the setting. The other four characters playing against "The Player: are mainly one note archetypes, but that doesn't make them not entertaining. Grandma is the sweet old lady that hits on being a little crazy... Like when she talks to her chips and states that she needs to "sharpen her knifes" after busting out. Theo is a dude bro that makes movie references and who is the most annoying at the table yet usually LAST TO THE END! Boris is a shady bald guy who hints that he got the money for the tournament from, shady sources. Harry is a Poker Vet? an old man who is easily set off? he's the hardest to read which makes sense as his "I'm better than you" personality fits well at a Poker table without the need to flush him out more. Conclusion: The game is old but isn't as jank as some of the other reviews seem to note. the game is less than two bucks and only took me forty minutes to get through. I'd say it's worth playing through once as if you're like me and have never played the Poker Night at the Inventory series, the first PNI game was just re added to steam. So right now seems like the best time to play Telltale Texas Hold 'Em before jumping into the first Poker night game.

I would rather have any of the 4 characters from this game replace Tycho in poker night.
