The Crave website actually posts this note:
POKER 2: Large Tournaments Crash
There is an issue on World Champion Poker 2 will the game will crash when trying to complete a tournament of 200 people and higher. Before you can finish any of these events, the game will crash.
GREAT news to discover after working your way through hours of gameplay several times to near a final table. I would add that I have had tournaments of 30 people crash as well. I am outraged that they would not have had this tested before marketing and selling. I will NEVER buy a Crave game product again.
 tournaments inevitably crash July 9, 2006

This game is really good for the novice player, unless you're interested in Texas hold-em no limit tournament play. I can validate that it crashes frequently in tournament play; I've had this happen 4 times so far, over a career with $1M in chips earned. It's really frustating because that's the game I most want to master. Based on the other reviews, it's pretty clear that this game was not appropriately tested before being released. If you want to learn no limit tournaments, I recommend buying the Wilson Tournament Texas Hold-em software for your PC.

This is a good poker game. It has by far the best poker AI among games out right now. There are several flaws that keep the game from being as fun as it can be. It tends to take too long during hands you can't speed through the action. It forces you to play types of poker that you may not want to play like 5 card draw and pineapple. The pros rarely appear through the game and when they do they don't stand out anymore than anyone else. And the game has problems with freezing deep into tournaments. Overall the poker is fun but is held back by flaws.
BUGGY SOFTWARE -- AVOID February 25, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This game has a consistent crash bug that makes large tournament play impossible ( crashes in mid-game with no way to complete these tournaments ). The Crave website even states that this bug exists -- why wasn't this game tested before I and many others spent our money on it? This is unacceptable and I will avoid all titles Crave puts out in the future.
BIG NAME RIP-OFF February 8, 2006

You would think that a BIG NAME poker star would not sell his name to a piece of junk software poker CD promotion, but that is not the case here. I won't be purchasing anything else this particular BIG NAME poker star endorses. You burn me once and you are off my nice guy list forever; no exceptions.
