The link works for me.
Is this 1 on 1 Holdem only? That's what the screenshots and description make it look like.

Yes, the game is head's up Texas Hold'em. We wanted to deliver a unique version of a texas hold'em to pocket poker players, so we decided to focus on delivering a tournament type experience. The next version will include more players and BlueTooth support - we wanted to add BlueTooth to this version but unfortunately couldn't deliver in time.

Well first off it is really nice to see a card game program that has very good graphics.
As a part-time professional poker player I must say that the game is very good.
I love tourney's but to be honest I play more money tables then tourney's.
I am very impressed by the one on one play, but I don't think neglecting the 8-10 player games was a great idea.
In a real life game, MOST people won't ever get to the one-on-one play with someone at the final table. Therefore playing this game for education (knowing what to hold, fold, play etc) is not very relaistic, although for passing the time, it is alot of fun.
I have yet to see a realisitc hold'em game on a PPC. There is real time simulation software etc for the pc, but nothing for PPC yet.
I look forward to seeing how this program turns out in the future.
I would also love to play with other at my workplace...BUT I work at home  so that doesn't work for me...that is why I am so interested in the progress of the single player modes.
If you want any beta testers, let me know at [email protected]
Thanks
Thanos
