Is the poker in this game buggy?

The thread title says it. I had the game tell me I had a pair when I also had a straight and tell me I only had a high card instead of a pair. I've never heard of a game messing up poker scripting before so I feel like I'm crazy. Has anybody else dealt with this?

I've only played one game of it and didn't notice any problems other than the AI behaving VERY transparently. Going all-in with 3 spades showing? C'mon dude like I'm gonna call that.

Also, it bothers the shit out of me that your guy goes "I see your bet and raise you" because that's technically tell-baiting and technically cheating.

Sorry, I know that wasn't helpful...

What about the fact if you just hammer ALL IN. There is a decent chance everyone will fold and you plain out win with a 2. Or some magic happens and you get a full flush.

yeah the poker is a little dicey, some things about it are just odd. For example if the AI goes all in don't call. Because the AI will never go all in unless they have a hand that will beat yours.

@Karkarov: I've seen them go all in on a bluff

Having only spent a couple of hands with the poker, it seemed solid. Nothing too mind blowing about it, but a good time waster when I don't feel like hunting.

No achievement for winning? Guess they saved them all for multiplayer. Which I'm probably not ever going to play.
