I really like the D-pad support in Birdsoft.

My critique is that it is too easy to win. I understand that AI is easier to outsmart than real people, but you can't help but make money when playing the tournaments.

On the big tourneys, all you have to do is play very conservatively. The blinds are so small compared to your bankroll, and they increase too slowly. All you have to do is play very tight until the other computer players eliminate each other. The payoffs are still big for 2nd and 3rd place. I place or win in about 2/3 of tournaments.

It is also too easy to bluff the AI. One money-making strategy: If no one raises before the flop, stay in. If the flop looks like rags, then raise. More often than not, you will be rewarded when everyone else folds.

Otherwise, great game. I'd enjoy it more if it weren't too easy to win.
