Complete with adjustable difficulty settings, players can either learn the game first or play right away and the number of players at the table can be tweaked.

Featuring cartoonish graphics and content from cable TV network TBS; it allows single play against up to four recognizable computer controlled players:

- Ray Barone from TV show Everyone Loves Raymond.

- Cosmo Kramer from Seinfeld.

- Rachel Green from Friends.

- Stewie Griffin from The Family Guy.

Given its basic nature, the application is good mindless fun, much like Solitaire on a PC, but don’t expect to hone your Hold’em skills.

It’ll help players get their feet wet, but that’s about it.

Seasoned players will probably want to steer clear of the Peachtree TV crew and head to the Texas Hold’em Poker application by Eric Schiermeyer and Mark Pincus.

Currently in use by over 141,369 daily active users, it allows players from across the network to compete against one another.

The graphics and interface are like something out of an online casino—although the dealer and table don’t seem as clear—and the ability to compete against real-time competition will satisfy the appetites of avid players.

With the large number of users on Facebook, there are more than just the two poker applications, so players can do a Texas Hold’em search and sample various game types, choose the game that best suits them and invite people from their lists to play.

After all, what’s a game of poker amongst friends?
