iPhone Poker
In what may be the first real game for the iPhone, Scenario Software has created a Web version of its Scenario Poker Texas Hold ‘em game just for the iPhone. You can play by going to http://iphone.scenario.com through your iPhone’s Safari browser, and can choose from an 8-player portrait-oriented version or a 10-player landscape-oriented version. You can try it out for free, and $10 gets you an activation code that works with both the iPhone and Dashboard versions. Scenario will even mail you an iPoker Card that lets you know which hands you should hold and which you should fold before the flop…Vegas here I come!

This game is lacking in serious poker features and I definitely don't find it worth $10. You can only play limit holdem sit&go's, which isn't played much in real games, and all of the computer players are extremely beatable.
The table stakes structure isn't even right. For example, when the blinds are 30/60 in a limit game, the bet size should be 120 on the turn and the river.
I wouldn't recommend this game as a serious way to practice poker. Try the free widget version first before purchasing the $10 license.
