They'll bluff, respond to odds, and generally play a really smart game. The Normal difficulty results in characters that play anywhere from predictable to utterly insane (which seems right with the crowd you're playing against), but the Hard setting feels like you're against other players. Hold 'em enthusiasts will also find the core game engaging, so long as they play it on Hard. Some of the jokes will be lost if you're unfamiliar with the characters and their backgrounds, but generally the writing is witty enough that I suspect even those who've never seen an episode of Strong Bad or read Penny Arcade will find themselves smiling. Watching The Heavy from TF2 trash talk Strong Bad, or having Tycho cuss you out for calling him on a big bet is ridiculously charming. So there's no way you can get it I literally looked everywhere and for poker night 2, they are all contaminated with malware, it is literally impossible to get the game if not buying a 120 dollar key from a shady website or friend sharing. The real drive to keep playing comes from the ridiculous banter the characters have. Like real life, though, the act of betting and playing cards is only part of the reason to play Poker Night.
