“love my man brock samson I like to think he comes here on his days off from bodyguarding the venture bros to gamble with claptrap and sam”
“Same thing like the first, I brought this for TF2 items. It's a shame they never made a third game. Also Ash is goated and will show you his boomstick.”
“Poker Night 2 improves on many of the gripes I had with the first game (that is now remastered, thank god!), Especially when it comes to getting items in TF2 with the new Challenge system. Ordering drinks is also a…”

“Almost a negative reccommendation, however, the concept is so strong that i hesitantly do anyways. The AI is seriously horrible and predictable so anyone who plays poker games even casually will already be turned off.…”
“I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate Poker”
“First one is way better, this one feels like the computer is rigging the game. If your going to have Ash Williams you need Bruce Campbell. We didn't need Glados as a dealer. Characters are far more annoying than the…”

“A very fun poker game. The comments from players and dealer make it the best. Can become repetetive, but I still think its worth it.”
“SHUT UP! SHUT UP! I HAVE HEARD THIS DIALOG FOR THE 800TH TIME! SHUT UP! I can take the fact that the player has a -100% luck stat, I can take that completing challenges is RNG but just SHUT UP! Poker Night 1 had the…”

“Easily the worst Poker Night game. Lack of display settings compared to the first, too many long empty pauses when skipping dialogue, tons of bugs, and a few stupid UI decisions.”
