A few years back, some buddies would hold a poker night every week, and while Texas Hold 'Em was one of the games that would pop up, we'd go back and forth between multiple poker types, so I never really figured out why people were so in love with it, or why it was the game to catch on like it did. It is definitely fun, and this somewhat strange variation that's debuting on the PSN and XBLA called Texas Cheat 'Em manages to maintain that same sense of fun, while throwing a few curveballs into the mix as well."
This is a textbook case of lackluster presentation and a clear sign of a lack of effort dragging down what would otherwise be a very solid game. When you have to stare at all the slapped-together menus all the time, it really does detract.

I want to save my progress, but am unable to because the game does not allow for it. There is a division between sets (four sets of four each) but within a set you can't save your progress. This is the biggest drawback I see in the game."

Anyways, from having no knowledge of the game i booted it up to see whats what.
MAIN MENU
At the title screen you have a few options, single player, multiplayer, leader boards, achievements , help and options and return to game library, which exits the game. Very basic in its look but does its job..."
