I don't know what happened, but I can't seem to get on the server. I was on for about half an hour last night, but since then, it just keeps giving me an error. The url posted earlier isn't working. Am I the only one having this problem?
Jumped straight into it, skipping over the character creation, and it worked fine. Got through that initial race, and figuring it had been mostly sorted out since launch, I backed out to make a character. Didn't get to the cutscene with Lamar. I'll try it again over the weekend, I guess.
@Rhaknar: To initiate cheating, you press the Y button when dealing, to slip a card out from the bottom of the deck. A bar shows up at the bottom of the screen, and you must keep an arrow that slides along it centered by tilting the left stick back and forth, so that it stays white. If you manage to do it, you'll get a third card that can be used to replace one of your hole cards (the two cards dealt to you at the beginning of the hand) at any point in the hand. The replacement requires you to do the arrow centering bit again, and if you get it right, the card you swapped out becomes the secret card. The nice part about cheating is that once you do it, you will always have a third card to swap in for as long as that session at the table lasts.
Keeping the arrow centered is pretty tough, but I think the cheating keeps the poker interesting. Also, winning more, more quickly makes it a more effective way to make money than it normally is.
