Default I do not know how to play poker

Its true.... I have never learned to play...

But I bought this game.... just because I love TTG, and I am sure it will have some funny dialogue.... anyone care to teach me how to play before it comes out?

I have a faint idea, but I just bought it for Max and the Heavy. So I'm just going to think "Ah, this is a good hand" (when most likely it isn't) and just bet, or go all in, then probably have someone mock me due to my suck-y-ness.
Anyway, there are guides online, or you can try Telltale Texas Hold'em, there is a guide. Or search the forums, I think Jake posted one somewhere. Or as TentuZero said, there will be one in the game. Sadly, Max, Strongbad, the Heavy and Tycho will not be the ones who teach you. I think.

It is not that hard, Texas Hold'em is easy to learn and play.

Actually, no. Sadly there's a crippling bug in the tutorial in TTTH that gets you stuck after the first text box.

Was there not a text guide on the menu with all the hands and such?

I played the TTTH tutorial and didn't notice anything like that.

Really? Weird. Maybe it depends on your system or something.

In the bottom left corner there's a question mark. Click on it and it lists all the different hands. On the bottom right of that window there's a Poker Tutorial button.

When it is your turn, and the UI pops up with your choices to bet or fold, etc. It is on the bottem left.

I don't know how to play Poker but I've already won 5 games, lost 2, and earned 7 of the 17 Achievements. So I must be doing something right. :P

No it's just beginners luck. Fishes always suck out in the beginning.
