With its uniquely efficient betting mechanism and convenient, one-handed operation on iPhones and iPod touches, you can play Hold Em anytime, anywhere, and improve your Hold Em skills in the shortest of spare moments. This app will actually make you look forward to waiting in lines.

Learn from the strategies used by the top poker pros, so when you play for real you will lose less and win more.

Tap the deck to fold. Tap your cards to check or call. Tap your chips then tap to select one of the preconfigured standard bets. If only defeating THETA Poker Pros computer opponents were this easy.

Pros and cons of THETA Poker Pro-Texas Hold 'Em app for iPhone and iPad

THETA Poker Pro-Texas Hold 'Em app good for

If youre looking for a poker app that challenges and builds your poker skills, this is it. By playing on the highest difficulty level, the app really does simulate an excellent game. No hidden fees or any costs needed to have endless fun.

Guys, Ill start by saying Im 100% blind. I use the voiceover screen reader to play poker. This is the first developer that decided to make a poker app accessible, and you can customise everything! Ive learned how to play texas oldem with this app, now I cant put it down. Accessibility gets better and better with each update but now with this last version the accessibility cant get better than that!! I think I can play a lot faster compared to someone sighted. If I could I would purchase the app again and again, we really need more developers like this guy that invested his time making the app the best poker app. If youre sighted then dont even think once, buy it now!!!

This poker game is really very great and it is very accessible with voice-over I am very new with poker games and I have problems with it because it is only not available in German.

Some bad moments

How many years since the first game, and the graphics are all exactly the same? Really weak. Also, AI is mediocre, havent unlocked highest difficulty though. However I dont really suspect it would change my opinion.

For those who say the AI is too easy, crank it up to Hard in the options. You dont have to unlock that, its available immediately. I agree that the graphics are ugly but the interface is actually very usable once you get used to it.

This app is geared towards serious HoldEm players. It has loads of features and options that you would not see in a typical glitzy app. At the top levels, its AI is quite good too, at least to my reckoning. The developer is extremely helpful and provides the most detailed release notes Ive ever seen in an app. Its clear a huge amount of time went into the features that distinguish this serius tool from ones geared more to the masses. For example, there are dozens of settings to customize the way it works, including ones to make it nearly instantaneous to begin the next hand after you fold (like Rush Poker worked at Full Tilt). You have complete control over a huge variety of factors (career mode, practice mode, ring game vs tournament vs shootout, the level of skill of the computer bots, the number of players per table, the buy-in amount, the size of the antes and blinds, all sorts of look-and-feel and how-to-operate-it customizations, sounds, and much more. All sorts of statistics are kept. You can export your games to files that are usable in the major professional poker-tracking applications for Mac/Windows. And everything is backed up by extensive help and a very responsive developer. If youre a serious player looking to log, and even analyze, thousands of hands in a particular format, nothing else comes close. No, it doesnt have cartoon characters who spout cliched sayings at you, as do most of the mass-market HoldEm apps. But if youre really serious about HoldEm, or want to be, this is the app to buy.

I very much like the extra speed and the ability to prefold, which makes it even faster.

Ive purchased several Poker games, but they never last long. This is the game Ive always wanted. I dont want to play on-line with anyone. I dont want cute graphics. I sure as heck dont want to purchase chips! I just want to play proper 8 hand tournament-style poker with good opponents. Is the AI great? It works for me. I win against the easy ones and lose more as they get better. The playability of the game is by far the best Ive seen. You can play as fast as you want. Good data too, if you like this. Great job guys!

If youre looking for an AI poker game where the opponents dont know the community cards pre-flop, keep looking. This isnt for you.
