If you love poker, buy this game. Don't even read the rest of this review, just simply buy it. If all you want is an easy and fun way to play poker I highly recommend WSOP for the PSP. If, however, you are looking for amazing, mind blowing graphics, pass this up. Lets face it, this is no Socom Fireteam Bravo when it comes to graphics. But if you can get past that, and the fact that the commentaries are dull and repetitive, then you have a very good game.
I love poker so this was a great title to me. The Career mode is VERY lengthy. You will probably spend days getting through the main WSOP event, which is made up off, on average, 6000+ competitors, of which you probably play 75 to 100 of. There are also a number of other tournaments for you to play, such as Omaha, texas hold em, and seven card stud. I also liked being able to customize my player, even if it isn't the deepest character creator I've seen.
Another commen problem is the AI, which are often very dumb and predictable (for instance, every time they touch both hands to there chin while thinking, they are bluffing.)
Even if you don't know how to play Texas Hold em (or Razz, Omaha, etc.) you will most likly pick it up very quickly. Any time during game play you can click R1 to what hand beats the other hand.
Lastly, if you are not sure you want to buy the game, rent it. WSOP on the PSP makes for a good multiplayer game, but there are so many missing elements, that your love of poker has to outway your dislike of this game. Replay value is what pulled the trigger for me to pay twenty dollars for this game and I have enjoyed it.

I honestly hoped a bit more from this game alot of people perfer this game over World Championship Poker 2. However what this game does not offer is a system to improve poker stats like in world championship poker 2. Graphics are also not as good as world championship poker 2. However this game does have alot of pluses in career mode for instance the are lots and lots of tournaments you can enter. In career mode in World Championship Poker 2 not all the times you can choose which game you want to play some weeks texas holdem might be avaiable then some weeks it may not. Gameplay is much more enjoyable when you dont have to play poker games you dont like playing. Another thing i love about this game is all the details they give you about the tournaments you are like like they will tell you how many people are in it and they will tell you what you have to at least place to win prize money.

I am a fan of playing texas-hold-em and i thought i would try this game. WHen i got it for christmas i couldnt stop playing it. IN career mode you can create a player and change everything about him including his voice. I would definitley recommened it.

This game is excellent. In fact, I have never seen a better career mode for a poker game in my life. You start off with a bankroll of $10,000 where you can use it to enter tournaments ranging from $1,000 to the main event which is $10,000. I used all my money on the main event which had many poker pros and great AI in some of the players. I finished 43 out of 6600 and now I have more than enough money for everything from my winnings. In career mode you can play tons of types of games ranging from 7 card stud to Hold'em. Unfortunately I don't know how to play some of the games. Another part of career mode is earning collector chips, that you get by completing various tasks in the game such as getting a type of hand, knocking out a certain amount of people, or knocking out a professional poker player. I have only collected about half the collector chips, and earning some of them, like getting a royal flush in a game. Also, you can show off any bracelets you have earned online, but there aren't usually many players who play online. This is okay though as online really doesn't offer much more AI than the computers do.
Many people are anticipating the realease of Stacked, another PSP poker game, but in the meantime this will suit you just fine. This game may actually be better.
