Introduction:

The chips are down and the ante is up in this sentence already bursting with poker clichés! Take the fifth seat in Poker Night 2, at a table featuring Claptrap (Borderlands 2), Brock Samson (The Venture Bros.), Ash (Army of Darkness) and Sam (Sam and Max series). So play to win because winning unlocks unique skins and heads to use in Borderlands 2 and exclusive avatar items! Your dealer is GLaDOS (Portal series), but at no point will you be considered as a candidate for a visit to Aperture Science’s Enrichment Center. Unless you lose. If you win a tournament with a felt, chips, and a deck with the same theme (Like the "The Venture Bros" for example.) then you're in for a surprise.The two types of tournaments that the player can participate in includes, "Texas Hold'em and Omaha".

 

The amount of playthroughs depends on if "The Player" wins or losses a lot. There is a problem with the items gained in the game that can be transferred to "Borderlands 2" as well. There has been many complaints about people not being able to get their Borderlands 2 gear from Poker Night 2. (I'm still having this problem myself.) The best way of getting your items from Poker Night 2 to Borderlands 2 is to send a ticket to "Shift" and to provide a screenshot of the five bounty items that you unlocked. (This includes, Sam's banjo, Claptrap's 2012 Spike VGA Award, the Necronomicon, Mysterious Orb, and Glados's Paranoia Core". I've heard this way works, but haven't tried it yet. Your bounty items should be located in the game's "options". Then just scroll until you find them.

Here is a picture of all the bounty items:

Story:

The Player (You) arrive at "The Inventory" in a limo and is ready to play some Poker. This building is full of secret rooms and you meet "Brock Samson", who leads you to one of these top secret rooms of "The Inventory". The area has a bar, stage, and poker area. There are also characters like "Mad Moxxi" (Bartender (Non-Playable) and "Claptrap's bandit friend" (Non-Playable) - Borderlands1/2" and "Max" (Non-Playable, Only playable in the original Poker Night) - Sam and Max. There are the main characters that were introduced in the "Introduction"as well as the greeter and announcer. (The guy with the captain hat and red robe on.) As well as the mysterious owner. Now is the time to go big or go home.

 

Abbreviated Walkthrough:

* Before we begin here are some links where you can buy "Poker Night 2" for the xbox 360 and a guide for the unlockables and rewards:

The quickest way to earn all 400http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png is by playing in Omaha Tournaments and going "All-In" every hand. With any luck, other characters will call and you can quickly eliminate the competition. If you are going to lose the hand, Dashboard out. It is important to pay attention to the win percentage probability meter under the characters names (See Below). Then from the Main Menu, select Continue Tournament and you will either go back to a previous save point or if you dashboarded out after the first hand, you will begin a new Tournament, but you do not lose the buy-in from the previous Tournament. With this method I was able to 100% the game in about 5-6 Hours.

 

*Note: It is smart to just play the first hand normal and not use the "All-In" method so the game can have a save point.

Notes & Tips:

Poker Items and themes:

Below is a run-down of how many tokens it will take to unlock each theme.

 

Borderlands: Chips (20), Deck (40), Felt (60) - Total: 120 Tokens

Sam & Max: Chips (25), Deck (50), Felt (70) - Total: 145 Tokens

Venture Bros: Chips (35), Deck (70), Felt (105) - Total: 210 Tokens

Army of Darkness: Chips (60), Deck (120), Felt (180) - Total: 360 Tokens

Portal: Chips (120), Deck (240), Felt (360) - Total: 720 Tokens

 

Winning a Tournament earns you 100 Tokens. 2nd Place 50, 3rd Place 20, 4th Place 10.

 

Freezing issues:

There has been an issue of freezing in the game. So beware that at anytime the game could freeze on you and without any warning.

 

Dashboard out:

If you feel like you are about to lose a hand, or are guaranteed to lose a hand, you can dashboard out and the tournament will save to a previous point. This is effective when going for the $1-million dollar bankroll Achievement because you could go "All-In" and if you are going to lose the hand, you can dashboard out. This is most effective when playing against the final character in the tournament.

 

*Note: You must play at least one-hand before dashboarding out for the game to have a save point.

 

Omaha over Hold 'em:

It is the overall belief that an Omaha tournament is easier to win and I agree. Not only do you get two more hole cards to choose from, it seems as if you get much better hands while playing Omaha.

 

Multiplayer:

* There isn't any multiplayer for this game. This is just a single player game.

 

Mop-Up:

* The player will be able to get achievements, while playing the game. The game will take a bit of grinding to earn the $1 million dollars though.

 

Conclusion:

The game is fun and has funny dialogue and actions that the characters say and do. If your a fan of "Borderlands, Sam and Max, the "Venture Brothers", and "Evil Dead" as well as a poker fan then this is the game for you. Make sure to keep your hand hidden and have fun defeating opponents with your mighty poker skills.
