There exist a few poker games for the Xbox: "World Championship Poker", "High Rollers Casino", and a few more on the way, like "Stacked" and "World Poker Tour 2K6". And there are likely many more I haven't listed, due to poker's popularity.

I beleive most/all of them support Xbox Live play against other people, but it's obviously just play money. Would you play such a product? I would assume the average 2+2 would say "No" - But we are probably not the target market for these, since we can like, make actual money and stuff. So who is playing these products? High scool kids, or? Can you venture a guess as to what these users would want from a title?

Finally, would you have any advice for someone making an Xbox poker game?

we are definately not the target market. the target market is 12 yo boys who like watching poker on TV. Or otheres who wont play for real money for other reasons.

No, but I'm going to buy it and spam my affiliate codes to all the 12 year olds.
