WPT Texas Hold Em on a Cell Phone

by Blake on February 27th, 2008

Does anybody play Hold Em on their cell phone?

Like when you’re bored waiting for the dentist or for their girlfriend to finish shopping?

I’ve never done it, but supposedly it’s getting popular. I don’t know if I have the nerves for it. I hate cell phones.

Got a press release in the mail about it today, though. I kind of like the way they talk about it:

WPT® Texas Hold ‘Em 2 was recognized in two categories by AT&T in its “Best of 2007” awards: “Best Card/Casino Game” and “Best Multiplayer Game.”
WPT Texas Hold ‘Em 2 was given the silver award for Top Mobile Poker in the 2007 Readers’ Choice Awards by Gambling Online Magazine.
More than twelve million hands have been dealt to 140,000 unique users since launch
Over 7,000 millionaires and over 200 billionaires have been created since launch
The longest continuous gameplay session lasted 13 hours
WPT Texas Hold ‘Em 2 players have sent over seven million chat messages

That sort of appeal to the ex-roleplaying dork in me. I want to be a billionaire on my cellphone.

Longest session lasted 13 hours? God, that’s scary.
