World Series of Poker

Normally wouldn't bother with posting this, but I put a lot of effort into this one, so why not?

Ever want to "hold 'em like they do in Texas?" We can't all sing like Lady Gaga, but with this app, we can certainly learn to play poker like her (okay, hopefully better). with the World Series of Poker: hold 'em legend iPod app, you can work your way to the top without even needing a poker face (because this reviewer doesn't have one.)

With this free (for now) app, the player can work their way up from the cash game at the local pub all the way to the final table at Binion's in the World Series. Your bankroll gets you into further events as you go along. It has hand strength and bluffing indicators for the rookies in the audience, but these can be turned off to provide the professional card shark a suitable challenge.

In addition to its robust career mode, that app features quick cash games and and multiplayer via both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity.

So if you've got the itch to make it rain, but lack the real-life Benjamins to make this possible, this just might be the app for you.

Let me know if you want me to keep doing these.
