Microsoft will be releasing a new Poker games soon that allows players to not only take on their friends, but players online anywhere in the world via Xbox LIVE in player matches, ranked matches, and even holding special Texas Heat events. The game is called Full House Poker, and at it's core it is a Poker game using the Texas Hold 'Em rules that have become most popular in the past ten years or so.

The game allows you to play with your Xbox 360 avatar against computer controlled players in the single player mode, or jump into an Xbox LIVE game to take on players online. For those without much Poker experience,t he single player mode is a great way to hone your skills before you attempt to play real people online. The single player mode pits you against 9 other computer players by default, but you can change the number of players before you begin the game.
