None of the other games necessitated a party in my opinion, but this looks like the game with the most replay value. Now, I have to wait and see if my friends get this so I know whether to wait for DOTW or not. I wish you could wager MSP.

One of the few games that I am considering at full price ... but the cheapness in me really wants to wait for a "Deal of the Week". Decisions ...

4 weeks of passing up games has led to this. A poker game where I never have to spend any extra money but don't get rewarded for going all-in every single time? Count me in!

P.S. Also, this should mean Krome can do Game Room again. Double yay!

Wasn't this meant to be the 1 vs. 100 replacement?

1 vs. 100 was free and offered MSP and games as prizes.
This is entirely for fun (apparently) and costs 800MSP.

As much as I love poker, I think I'll be giving this a miss.
OK, it was me. I started the fire.

To those thinking they can go all-in every time, I guess they're forgetting about the achievements? I seriously doubt you would ever get near the "Reach Level 50" cheeve doing that...

Oh and also... the only reason 1 vs. 100 was free ... the SPRINT ads and commercials that ran 5 times a game are why. I would have paid 800 msp to remove the ads, so think of it that way.

If you can't gamble for real money or MSP, then I don't see what the big deal is. What's to stop those who don't care about achievements from going all-in on the first hand every time? I haven't read too much on this, but I'll wait it out to see what others say. I can always hope they bring back 1 vs. 100 or something similar.
