Welcome to Governor of Poker forum

Just curious as to why, the creators of this game,made it so difficult even when playing as a beginner.You get so far in the game,then say you lose your money,then you have to start from the very beginning again(instead of the beginning of the level you lost).Also,during the tournaments,people dont bet or fold the way they should.If,they are going to have a beginner level to get people and keep people interested,then they need to make the game play easier,not just give more money to start with.I was looking forward to a sequel when I first started playing,then realized they made the game play to hard.I'm 24 and have a hard time,how are people younger than me going to be able to beat the game?And yes I do know how to play poker...I actually play locally,so it's not that I just dont get it.
Thanks,Your Un-satisfied Customer

I too am having a rough time with this game,i am a fair to good poker player but can't advance. they made this game too difficult.

I agree - it's frustrating! I think my biggest frustration is that none of the "hints" you receive with your prize coins actually work. "Steamed" players do not make mistakes, the person with the town name isn't the best player (often as not), etc.

I'm doing so/so - I've bought the first town & am into the second - but I'm getting my hiney kicked now.

It's more about the strategy of THIS game than actual poker strategy *sigh* - of course 99.9% of poker is reading your opponents and hiding your own tells, just not possible in video poker (well - again theoretically there should be some "tells" but they just aren't panning out as the game says they will).

Hrm - didn't know you could get refunds - I should know better! I'm not 100% that's what I want to do - but it's food for thought with this game.

I've noticed that if I don't play this for a few days, when I open it, I've lost all prior progress and have to start over again.

Anyone else noticing this?

... not that it really matters much, I've never gotten past owning a couple of properties in the second town. LOL I have to agree, this one's really tough, yet I keep going back to it anyway!

I've only gotten to owning 3 towns. It's really difficult for me to progress as well. I've pretty much given up on this game. When I played the one hour trial. It seemed like it was going to be a fun game to play. I've noticed the same thing when it says another player is "Steamed" or on "Tilt". I'm a poker dealer in real life and I play poker a lot when I'm not working. I don't consider myself that bad of a player. If they give refunds when you dislike a game. How do I go about requesting one then?

I have a couple other problems with this program and the way it was designed as well. When the flop is out, you are not raising when no one has bet the flop. I know that seems small to some of you, but it's actually a bet, not a raise. I think it would be better off as well if you could just type in what you want to bet or raise to instead of moving the slider to the amount. I try to raise at times and instead it ends up doing something other than raising like just calling or checking. I thought maybe I just clicked the wrong button, but I don't seem to be the only one having this problem.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. I'm having a lot of fun with this game. It's Poker and Poker is about stratigy. Learning when to bet and how much is how you play the game. Winning is all about luck. What I do is watch how the computer plays. I can then figure out who is bluffing. Just give it a try.

I have really enjoyed this game, and have got to the end, I am now the "Governor of Texas" it took ages but well worth it, trouble is it sends straight back to start all over again, so you cannot play the different towns... :

I don't consider myself much of a poker player.........but I love this game.
I have won my horse, wagon and I am now trying for my carriage.....I'll get it.
I play the tournements and have learned to fold and let the others battle it out.

For someone that enjoys card games, poke in particular, this is a great game. The graphics are great as well.

Got through this twice, and still enjoy playing it.

How can I pass the game to another PC keeping my old profile?

Sent you a PM

What is the difference in playing on a hard level than easy or medium? Does it make any changes in system of AI playing? Or does it only give you more cash on start?

Hi,

i love the game but now i got stucked, ive earned 6922$ and it's day 629, but in every town it is dark and there is no pokergame to play in each of the city's i can go to...
When i click on next day, nothing happens.
Does anyone know what to do ?

Hi SirDancelot, This happened to me, and I thought it must be the number of days, anyway I had to start again under a different name and it worked ok, trouble is you lose all you money , towns etc.
You could always ask Customer Service for help.

Thx Anniejo,
i tried to raise my money by clicking the next day without playing any pokergames.
But now i'm more expierenced and will have to start again, let's hope we win more games now.

I just bought this game, and I am about ready to kill, the guy and steal the darn horse. Is it just me, or is this game stupid hard? I played the free version and I won every time. Does anyone know if there is an updated version? Are there any tips, or tricks, on how to get from one damn town to the next. I am about to go postal. Thank You

I don't have a problem with the game being hard...I like the challenge...but i do not want to purchase the game if the save issue has not been fixed....I dont mind starting over in a town I lost in,but do not want to start over just because I got tired and wanted to quit for a while..anyone know if they fixied it or not?
