XBLA Texas Hold 'Em may only be free for the first 48 hours

[stuffedmonkey]

MS had said it was going to be free - as some online poker outfit was sponsoring it. They backed out - but Microsoft ahd already promised free. They compromised on "free for 2 days - 800 points afterward" which works fine for me. You can beat free.

Niiiiiiice. Free is good. I just ran out of M$ Points with SFII.

Ante up Mighty Mango. Hope you brought your game face...

free is very very good... thanks M$....

If only Microsoft threw some more money around, we'd be allowed to wager our Microsoft Points.

Gah I had major problems with it.

1. I could play a single player game fine.
2. I could play a random multiplayer game fine.

But when njiska, Drexel, and Sothy all sent me invites, It would say "Joining game" I could hear njiska and others talking for a split second, then it cut off and said "Connection failed, please try again later"

Grrr.

[Sothy]

WE spent the whole time making fun of you too GAC.

I was up about 300K at one point now im like 185k in the hole... Ill get my revenge tonight.

[s1lence]

Well I'll be on for sure then if you were ripping on Chandler.

[Lothars]

I don't think it would of been worth the 800 points but being free I can't complain, I am glad to have it.

[s1lence]

Sorry I took all your money last night guys. :P

[slip81]

I'm not really a big poker fan, but it was free so I got it. After playing it for a while it's fun, but I suck at poker. Can't wait to play it online though

[doomedpeasant]

Sorry I took all your money last night guys. :P

lol, no problem

[heyricochet]

I'm guessing the answer is yes, but do you need a gold membership to play online? I didn't know if it was different for XBLA content.

EDIT: Nevermind, now I'm home so I tried it, failure of course.

[Sothy]

I could barely find anyone to play last night.


We need to set up a general time maybe or something.

Plus GAC left after like 5 minutes to go try on womens clothes or whatever the hell he does for fun.

Yeah what was the deal with that. He was there for maybe 3 hands.

[Sothy]

Lolz Ive had mighty mango on my xbl friends list so long i forgot where he came from... I just realized its you s1lence ..

[Daria]

It's actually fairly addicting for a free game. Glad I downloaded it. Unfortunately I still have silver so I won't be playing online for awhile.

[Auxilla]

I never played poker before but I some how end up in the top 3 or win due to idiots.Before the flop people go all in and drop like flys.

I think I only lost money once due to me quiting.

[Dobie]

My buddy and I played a bit with Sothy last night. We both lost our ass. Enjoy the points Sothy... don't blow them ALL on hookers. I'm now about $150 grand in the hole. I can see how people get sucked in and lose everything they have... its so tempting to try and force a bad hand when your luck is dry. I'm patient at first... but then I start trying to MAKE things happen, and thats when I blow it all.
