Product Description
Master Poker is a high quality computer program which allows you to play No-limit Texas Hold'em on your home computer against highly skilled computer players at any time, night or day, without the need to risk real money while you build valuable experience.
Despite the poker craze, there are few quality commercial poker programs on the market, especially if you consider only No-limit Hold'em. This is because No-limit Hold'em is such a sophisticated and difficult game to program. The primary weakness in any poker software is with the artificial intelligence (AI) of the computer players, where critical weaknesses can be identified and exploited in just a few hours of play, permanently ruining the program's effectiveness. Master Poker was specifically designed for real poker players, who absolutely must have intelligent, unpredictable opponents in order to create real-world conditions. It is intended for players who wish to improve their game in a clean, easy to use, realistic and visually appealing environment.
Some features: Quickstart tutorial, ability to preset hand and board cards, freeze the button, save any game at any stage, detailed starting advice for novices, Rabbit Cam (see the next card), Wonder Cam (see all cards that would have been dealt), unlimited user screen names with full personal history tracking, full control over multiple AI personalities and difficulty settings, full card peeking, running text summary of each hand that can be archived or pasted to emails or discussion forums, full help menus, the ability to record a text file of every hand played in an event, prize money structure (for fun), auto-deal option, hand ranging grid, an honorable AI that never cheats or looks at your cards, individually named tournament players who actually play out every hand on all tables out of your view, and an included secondary AI dedicated exclusively to Heads-up play. Take a chance on something new and come join the ever-growing Master Poker community.

Superb poker software April 13, 2010
Steven Widdicombe (canberra, A.C.T., AU)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have been playing poker since 1967, when as a child I was fascinated by the game and the claim that it was a game of skill when externally it exhibited all the hallmarks of a luck. I have read almost every book of merit on the game. From Herbert Yardley's "Education of a Poker Player" to Doylee's monumental tombs "Super System 1 and 2".
As the years passed, I improved my game plugging every leak I could find. Either by myself or through advice and watched my youthful misconceptions regarding the amount of luck required diminish as though I had looked the in the wrong end of a telescope.
With the advent of the computer age I played just about all of the computerized poker programs of merit in search of a sparring partner that would hone my already reasonably sharp game. Sadly, even though they put me through the motions I never found a program I could not get the hang of both consciously and intuitively and in the end conclusively beat, I've whooped them all.
That was until I decided to buy "Master Poker" after looking and thinking to myself "Nah, its just another computer poker game I'll trample. I could not have been more completely incorrect.
It is the finest game of its type I have come across in 40 years of play. At first I bullied my way up to $2500 and thought "bummer, another predictable bunch of victims", but at that point things began to change drastically. The artificial opponents started to get my measure and to my astonishment and the chagrin of my ego , I started going backwards; quickly. They began playing back at me with the finesse of serious professionals, and I knew I had found a program different from the rest and of serious value to any player wishing to improve, and my first online game after a week with the program, I doubled up my stack in an hour. Not only this, but program never hangs or shuts down the operating system.
I am a perfectionist and generally, nothing ever comes up to my expectations. I cannot say this in reference to Master Poker software. It excelled my expectations in every regard and earned its price back first game.
I sincerely, and without reservation or encumbrance of any description endorse Master Poker as the finest thing of its type available. Even experts will have their muscles hyper-flexed.
If you are serious about improving your game either to raise your hourly rate or just want the most realistic partners for those long winter nights your wife has a headache, you would be insane to be without it.
I have to give the man his due, it is every bit as good as claimed and perhaps a little a better. Practice with Master Poker software and you will be a winner; period.

 Master Poker April 9, 2010

This program plays better than most of the cheaper versions of Hold'em. The tables look good and some of the player names are a hoot.
I would have liked to see more teaching; especially at the beginner and novice levels. The AI plays well and gives you a real sense of playing real players.
Great Game February 18, 2010

We are very happy with our purchase. We were also very happy with the technical support seeing we had some problems downloading the game on Windows 7. With the technical support we got her done!
Master Poker IS November 30, 2009
Berserxes (Ohio)
The disc arrived quickly, and I installed and ran it with no problems. The program itself is an excellent tool and teacher, although I admit to not having a lot of experience with other poker programs. I like the straightforward play (with no goofy animations or "amusing" voices of players), and what I perceive to be excellent poker logic.
I'm pretty new to Hold 'Em (I used to play 7 stud fairly frequently and well), and I appreciate the advice and comments option before the flop. I'd actually like to see the same thing available after the flop, but alas...
Overall, this has proven to be a fine product, delivering what it promised!
