poker - texas hold'em specifically

[Sweetstache]

Does anyone know which poker game is worth buying on the PSP? I recently picked up this game for the hell of it just because of the ridiculously low price of it used - World Championship Poker 2 with Howard Lederer -

The game is a bit unsatisfying though, with unnecessary character animations that you cannot skip, and a cheeseball bluff minigame that is really distracting as all I'm trying to do is play me some poker over here.

I'm just looking for some straight forward old fashioned Texas Hold'em with quality AI opponents that won't keep raising and raising and raising, when all they have is a king high - and there's a flush possibility on the table, if you know what I mean.

So if any of yous has found a good game that you keep going back to, please let me know and I will return the favour someday... somehow

The 'High Stakes Poker (on the Vegas Strip)' game available for the PS3 is available to download from the PSN.. its excellent! And with the remote play funtion on your PSP you can play in through your PSP from anywhere in the world!

all 3 versions of the WSOP for the psp are great texas holdem games for the psp, of coarse the AI in the 2008 version seems to be the best. are really good on the PSP. Of coarse nothing beats playing a live game at your buddies or at the casino, but it will feed your texas hold'em fix either way. those are the only good texas hold'em games that i liked for the psp.

Garlad sir, I am in your debt. I had no idea that I could do that. The non PSP specific games and demos that I've downloaded and tried that with before (out of curiosity) all came up as incompatible - I am very pleased to find out that this is not the case here. I bought it and tried it out earlier and it works great. The best part is, I can go online and play real people on the PSP as well - which is the most realistic AI I can ever hope to ask for.

I'm sure I'll find myself in situations where I can't get a remote link going - I think I'll have to pick up a copy of WSOP '08 in due time just in case. Thanks for the info, and you know, it's been a while since the last time I've sat down with a some good friends, some good beer, and some hard earned cash to waste away for the hell of it. I think I'll have to make a few phone calls this weekend and get something going for old time's sake.

I tried looking for it and found this http://www.pokerstars.com/, but I couldn't seem to find anything about it being compatible with the PSP
