Welcome to Governor of Poker forum

hey guys! can't figure out how u are having a hard time, im in the 16th day and i'm on my way to owning all 3rd level towns(san antonio, meridian, and the other one, cant remember) just wanted to ask u guys if someone has actually collected all coins cause i am missing about 5

hey i learned a good way to get far....first of all in easy lvl...buy 2-3 buildings....then go to the local games...if you have a good hand starting out then bid,but if you've got a bad hand starting out flop. Also if your small or big blind and don't have a good hand just keep it going until someone makes a massive bet then pull out.

Keep doing this until you've got around 300-500 then leave.

Personally I try to keep this concept going for all the tournments too. Though without the leaving part. leaving= failure

I learned this from another and it works really well. Also for the first big guy.you know the one you get horse from. just keep bluffin....and show your cards only when you've got something good. For he's a conservative player and 8/10 times you can bluff him when its just you and him.

Also this works in the second towns too,though not sure about the boss guys there.

I've beaten the easy setting rather quickly. The poker wasn't too hard. It seems that there are two main differences with medium and easy; you actually have to play smart and the computer won't fold rags. First, if there is an over card on the board (say, an ace) and you have a pocket king and king on the flop, you have to recognize that a bet (usually) represents a hole ace and fold. Obviously there are bluffs involved, but that holds for most situations. You pretty much have to play good cards on the medium setting, high pairs, aces, suits over 9.

Secondly, and most frustratingly, you can't seem to bet the computer off terrible hands that inevitably hit on the river. I have lost straights, three of a kinds, and two pairs to a computer player that stays in with a 5x blind bet on jack high, only to hit on turns and river. That just wouldn't happen in real poker (bet-wise, not odds wise). Also, I've lost to pocket aces about 5 times now in the maybe 100 hands I've played on medium. Odds on pocket aces are well over 200 to 1. So the bad beats are increased tremendously on the medium setting, which is frustrating.*

Everything else is pretty straightforward. The poker is actually better at medium, you just have to play smarter. Don't chase cards. And its easier to bluff in the cash games.

*my trip kings just got beat by 4 tens on the river.

THIS GAME IS DEFINITELY RIGGED AND HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH REAL POKER, it has been fun though and quite addicting and I found it challenging playing a fixed game.
For exampleI in San Saba I got several flushes, full houses and even several four of a kind I have finished 1'st over 10 times, now I have played myself thrue the whole game owning the whole of Texas and played a lot of tournaments in the last 3 cities and it is remarkably obvious that they fixed the dealing, during 5 tournaments in a row in El Paso I never had a pair over 10 or better and never finished better than 3'rd, no matter city or how high the buy-ins are it is supposed to be left to chance which cards that comes up on the table or being delt.
During several tournaments I folded until the Blinds took it all and looking at the cards coming up at the table none of my hands would have made it.
Many times I have gone All-In before the Flop with Ace-Ace and AI has followed with crap like 5, 8 and got lucky on the turn and river far too many times.
And one unreal characteristics is AI going in big or All-In with bottom pairs even with Kings and Aces on the Flop, its like the gamemaker programmed a pair being the best hand ever however low?!?
I can understand that a game is by tradition supposed to get harder but doing that with poker which is supposed to be a game of chance just kills the the sense of reality, it doesn't matter how good a player you are if you keep getting crap cards that never hit, no one gets better at poker by playing this but its kind of fun with the graphics and all.
SO DON'T BUY GOVERNOR OF POKER IF YOU WANT TO LEARN THE GAME, PLAY FREE-ROLLS INSTEAD.

PS. I played the Hard-level DS.

What I have done to win is go all in on the first couple of hands. You narrow the playing field and you can get a good pot to get yourself started. You are right it is a joke. I don't know how they expect you to win anything, with the amount of money they give you to play with. Also if you hit the next day over and over you can get enough money to keep playing. Hope this helps.

im using vista. i cant get the game to keep a save for longer then a few hours. im not doing anything to (ccleaner, deleting temp files) that would cause this. does anyone know where the save files are located. i have been having this problem with every youda game. skies of war and rails of war do the same thing. it weird cause if i save the game, close it then restart with 30 minutes or so the game will still be saved, but if i wait longer the game will be saved. i was so pissed i stayed up all knight winning 5 towns only to come back the next day with no save. can anyone help?

I own all but last two towns on easy cycle. However, i did this by being bored out of my mind. I have to fold and pass until i get big blind unless i have high pair. Here is my beef.. at least 99% of the time (i kid you not) when i am in a playoff, the last card lets other player win. And almost always (maybe 80%) of the time, when i have big blind i will get two cards that are 5 and under. Never a pair. This is not possible unless programmed like this. I have a disease that causes a lot of pain and i play games to get my mind off it. Like biofeedback. It works unless the game is like this and you just press fold. I can't play anything that requires a lot of finger movement so some games with mini things are out. Mostly i use hidden object. But if you play this game and are patient, you can win the towns. I still have 2 more towns and then i will see what happens. But remember before you bet, it is rigged against you.

I bought all the town what next ??!
