Theta Poker For iPhone Raises The Bet

THETA Poker has just been released for the iPhone so it's time to put on your poker face and try your hand at Texas Hold'em poker at its' best. Theta Poker lacks the pomp and circumstance that typically accompanies most apps but more than makes up for it by including all of the intricacies of live poker. This iPhone application is apparently able to evaluate hand strength, position and opponent styles to simulate a more realistic game.
Learning the gambling language and nuances is the real challenge here because Theta makes full use of techniques such as blind steals, slow-plays, check-raises, continuation bets, short-stack handling and bluffs. Thankfully, Theta comes equipped with a handy guide that explains this for you. Gameplay is simple though, tap the deck to fold or tap your cards to check or call. Betting is just as easy, tap your chip stack and then select one of the preselected amounts. Theta makes use of the accelerometer also, by turning the iPhone your position on the table changes and if you want to start a new game just shakes the iPhone. Play No-Limit Texas Hold ‘Em and improve your skills with the strongest artificial intelligence engine on your iPhone or iPod touch, a uniquely efficient betting mechanism, a sharp interface, and lots of configurable options.

I enjoyed Theta Poker because of the playability, while other poker games focus on graphics this game is more like the real thing. Highly customizable and lots of great options make this a Poker app for real poker fans. If you prefer to spend your time watching fancy animation, you have better choices.
