I know there is already an achievement guide on the site, but I have made one that I feel is better. If you see something I missed or is incorrect don't be shy to say so.

 

Texas Hold 'Em Achievement Guide

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/25/0ICLiGJh.jpgPoker Initiation 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Win 10 hands.

 

This achievement can be earned in any game type.

As the achievement says, win ten hands. Even if you are a beginner poker player this achievement will be a quick and easy one. A winning hand is either making every opponent fold or having the best poker hand. For a list of poker hands and their ranking see "Luck of the Draw"

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/25/0oCLiGJh.jpgI'm All In! 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Win an 'All In' bet.

 

This achievement can be earned in any game type.

Going 'all in' meaning putting all of your money on the line. To do this press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/y.png twice. Do this on a hand that you feel confident you will win. If your hand is better than the opposer, you will have twice the money and an achievement.

Win with a High Card hand of 9 or less.

 

This achievement can be earned in any game type.

 

The easiest way to do this is in a standard game. Wait until you have a hand with 9 as the highest card. Once this happens go all in and hope all of the AI fold. If they all do you will win the hand and get an achievement. If they call you and you lose just re-buy in and try again until you get them all to fold.

 

Also, if you are really having trouble with this one you can boost it online. Invite a friend to your game and tell them to fold when you bet with your crappy hand.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/25/0Dc8P2Nh.jpgPoker King 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Successfully complete all of the scenarios in Single Player Scenario mode.

 

This achievement can be earned in Scenario mode only.

 

There is a total of seven scenarios you must complete. Here are the seven and tips on how to win them all:

 

1. Final Table Chip Leader

This one is very easy to win. You start with $2,365,000 and nobody else has anything close to that. Just using common sense will earn you a victory, bet on good hands, fold on bad hands. This is a good scenario to try out first, just to get the feel for it.

 

2. Final Table Short-Stacked

This is a challenging one. You will start with only $415,000 while a few of the AI start with over one million. My advice here would be to go all-in on the first hand. If you lose start the scenario up again. If you win then you have already doubled up and will have a better chance of winning. If you feel this is really hard go all-in the first two or three hands to try and get an even bigger lead.

 

3. Final Table Random

In this scenario you will start out with a random amount of chips. My suggestion would be to quit out and restart it until you are the leading chip count. This way you will have very little difficulty wining due to the lead.

 

4. Heads-Up Even

This scenario is a one on one, also know as 'Heads-up'. You and your opponent will both start with $4,000,000. I suggest going all in until your opponent calls. If you lose start it back up and try again. If you win then the scenario took you all of 2 minutes to beat.

 

5. Heads-Up Random

This scenario will have you in a one on one match with random starting amounts. I suggest restarting the game until you are the chip leader. Then go all-in until your opponent calls. If you lose start it back up and try again. If you win then the scenario took you all of 2 minutes to beat.

 

6. Conservative Sit & Go

This scenario is more boring than difficult. You will be at a table of 8 players all starting with $1,500 in chips. The people you play against are all super conservative, which means they will not bet high and won't take risks often. As you can guess this leads to very long games. If you want to speed it up go all-in until you are called. Hopefully you win, if not restart the scenario. If you win then you will have a large chip lead and room for error. Be patient and play smart, this game will take you a very long time. I suggest taking a break mid game just so you don't make a stupid move out of boredom. It took me about two hours to finish this scenario, it may not be the hardest, but will definitely take you a bit of time.

 

7. Loose Sit & Go

In this scenario you and eight other players will all start with $1,500. Your opponents will be very unconcerned with their money. They will make large bets and call often. A good strategy for winning this one is to wait for a good hand and go all-in. Most likely you will be called by at least one of the AI. Don't bet on anything except really good hands and you should win soon enough.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/25/0jc8P2Nh.jpgTournament Expert 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Finish in 1st Place in all Single Player Tournaments.

 

This achievement can be earned in Tournament mode only.

 

There are a total of four single player tournaments you must compete in and win to earn this achievement. There is not much to say about the tournaments except for the obvious; win them! I'll give a little bit of information on the four so you know what you are getting into though.

 

1. Invitation

Buy-in: Free

First prize: $1,000

 

2. Regional

Buy-in: $4,000

First prize: $16,000

 

3. National

Buy-in: $16,000

First prize: $64,000

 

4. All World

Buy-in: $125,000

First prize: $500,000

 

As you can see you will need to build up some money in your single player bankroll to even be able to enter some of the tournaments. These will take you a while due to how expensive it is to enter some. I wish you the best of luck, you will only get better as time goes on and you learn to read the AI better.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/25/0zc8P2Nh.jpgChunk of Change 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Build one of your bankrolls up to $100,000.

 

This achievement can be earned in any game type.

 

See "Millionaire Club"

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/25/1jc8P2Nh.jpgMillionaire Club 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Build one of your bankrolls up to $1,000,000.

 

This achievement can be earned in any game type.

 

By far the easiest way to earn this and "Chunk of Change" is to boost your Player Match bankroll with a friend. To boost this start up a player match with these settings:

Limit Type: No-Limit

Blinds: $100/$200

Buy - In: $50,000

Camera Mode: Whatever you want it to be

Players: 2

 

Now, have player one bet $49,999. Have player two raise to $50,000. Player one will now fold. Player one should have $1 and player two should have $99,999. Due to blinds player one will automatically go all-in. Hopefully they will lose the hand. If not, they will keep going all in until they lose. Player one will now have $0 and player two will have $100,000. Player one will buy back in with $50,000. Rinse and repeat until player two has $1,000,000.

 

In order to earn these achievements you will need to leave the table and cash out.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/25/1Tc8P2Nh.jpgWinning Streak 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Win 10 hands in a row.

 

This achievement can be earned in any game type.

 

With a bit of practice and luck you should get this pretty quickly. One easy way to get this is to load up the scenario "Heads-Up Random". Only play if you are the high stack. Now keep going all-in. The AI will not call you often because of your lead. Hopefully you can get your opponent to fold ten times in a row. If not, restart the scenario and try again. You may get this in the natural progression of attempting other achievements.

Enter and win a Competitive Tournament comprised of 8 players.

 

This achievement can be earned in Online Competitive Tournament mode with all human players only.

 

This achievement is very hard to boost and is best done legitimately. Since the game puts you in a random match it is next to impossible to get all eight boosting partners in the game. The easiest way to do this is to join a random game and go all-in. Just keep doing so until you win. This will take a few attempts but it is free to enter a tournament.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/25/1zc8P2Nh.jpgLuck of the Draw 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Get one of every type of hand from High Card to Royal Flush.

 

To get this achievement you must get every type of hand in the game. Poker hands are (in order from best to worst):

Royal Flush

Straight Flush

Four of a Kind

Full House

Flush

Straight

Three of a Kind

Two Pair

Pair

High Card

 

Your odds of receiving a royal flush are very poor and it takes thousands of hands to get. The best way to earn this is to 'rubber band'. To do this start up a Single Player Standard Game.

Limit Type: No-Limit

Blinds: $2/$4.

It will be free for you to start. After the dealer is chosen and you start the first hand find a means of holding down the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png button for an extended period of time. A common method of doing this is by using a rubber band. If you use a wireless controller the batteries may die and you won't get as much boosting time, so I suggest one of the following:

1. A standard xbox 360 wired controller

2. A standard xbox 360 wireless controller with a play and charge kit.

3. A wired Guitar Hero guitar controller.

I find the the Guitar Hero controller to work best due to its large http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png (the green fret) button. Once you have done this just turn off your TV and walk away. If you are worried about your xbox overheating I suggest propping up a small fan near it to keep the area cool. A good time to do this is while you are sleeping, at school, at work, or any other time you can't play your xbox. Using this method you will play, on average, 65-70 hands an hour.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/25/1jc8P2Ni.jpgGutsy Move 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Place a bet of $50,000 or more.

 

This achievement can be earned in any game type except for Scenario mode.

 

This achievement looks hard to do but is extremely easy. Go to "Multiplayer" and then "Standard Game". Create a match with these settings:

Limit Type: No-Limit

Blinds: $100/$200

Buy - In: $50,000

Camera Mode: Whatever you want it to be

Players: Doesn't matter

Now, either invite a friend or have someone random join. Once the game starts go all in ($50,000) and the achievement will pop up.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/25/1jc8P2Nj.jpgCard Shark 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Play 1,000 hands.

 

This achievement can be earned in any game type.

 

1,000 hands is a lot. To speed up the process of earning this refer to "Luck of the Draw" for simple boosting tips. If you use this method it will take you about 14-16 hours of 'rubber banding'.

Nice and better guide! It took me about 10 hours to get 1000 hands so it takes a while, got Royal Flush at about 40,000 hands.

 

You may want to mention under Royal Flush that the music will go bad after about 7 hours and not to worry about it, it is normal. Also, mention that the game might freeze, and that is fine, but the only bad thing is that the hand types do not save (bad if you need more than the Royal Flush).

 

If it does freeze while you only need 1 hand type to get, then it is fine. Once you get the hand type the achievement will pop up, unlike some other achievements where you have to exit out.

 

Tournament Pro 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

 

Best way to get this is to have 1 friend. Only a few rooms out there and there ussually is a line to get to a room. Ex: 2 rooms, 1 room fills up first before anyone can join room 2.

 

So have you and a friend join the same room and work together, never all in. Wait around and share info on what you have. Get 1-2 people left and start do high bids. Once they are out work on the final guy and person not getting achievement should bif HIGH that will scare the other guy and he will bid on some and fold on others. This person will go bankrupt in the process. Also, give money when needed to player getting the achievement. Once final guy is out give remaining cash to other player and game over, achievement unlocked. You may also give all money when it is a 1v1 match and you have $0. STAY in the room and watch and help.

 

That is the best way in my opinion for Tournament Pro, just revise it and make it sound better.

When I got this achievement I thought getting in a room would be easy. 7 of my friends and me all searched at the same time and with got into 5 separate rooms. We tried for about 10 minutes and never got more than three in the room. The online is still very alive for this game and the only reasonable way I could figure to get this is legit. I'll add a shortened version of what you are saying, but boosting that achievement is still very hard.

Wow I never tried 8 friends just you and a friend. It is hard and takes about 45 minutes per game but if you work together then it is way easier, but still hard.

 

"and go all-in. Just keep doing so until you win." You might want to edit that part, going all in is risky and you should never do it unless you have a 95% chance of a win. I would not reccomend going all in with anyone on the first hand because half the other players will and that will knock off 2-3 players making it that much easier for you to win. Also, going all in on every hand makes the other players mad and they will just play with ya and will knock you out.

I just wanted to point that out because I don't want people to get confused and make it a little harder on them.

(I helped a friend and 1 dude just foled EVERY hand until it was just us 3 and then he folded every other, but my friend and I folded too so he was a pain).

 

P.S. I wish this guide was around when I was going for the achievements.
