Badge tips

For faster badges, play with friends or cooperative partners. Every player should set 2s as wild, hit Check and Call instead of raising stakes, don't draw new cards, and take turns folding.

For faster badges requiring certain hands "or better", cooperative players can play normally but when a one gets the required hand, he or she should tell the others who then fold.

Two friends or cooperative partners can play even faster on the Rollers tabs where you don't need Pogobots to fill the table. Be aware you're betting real tokens! Games on the Low Rollers tab require a 50 token ante per hand. If two people are playing for the same badge they should come out fairly even, but if one is helping the other by folding, he or she will lose some tokens.

Be aware of the one hour time limit for the Queen Takes All premium badge.

Game tips

ALWAYS read a game's How to Play, and also check for a Hints or Tips tab and/or Tutorial. They do help!

A single player can sometimes bluff against Pogobots by raising the bet as high as possible at every opportunity, which sometimes causes the bots to fold.

Pogobots will sometimes call 2s wild and sometimes won't.

Don't count on drawing cards to complete a Straight: it can happen but usually doesn't.

More about High Stakes Poker

You can only play with Pogobots in the Just For Fun rooms.

Despite the game name, the stakes are only high when playing against other people in games on the Rollers tabs. The highest stakes are on the Super Rollers tabs, where the minimum ante is 125,000 tokens per hand.
