Are the Poker Night achievements hard to get? Playfire rewards issue.

You can just check the global achievements of a game on Steam and see how many people have them http://steamcommunity.com/stats/PokerNight2/achievements/ . These are very easy. Anything above 5% shouldn't give much trouble. Under 1% might be tricky.

The value of the achievements are usually equal to how difficult they are. The 0.50 ones are usually the rarest cheevos in the game.

Poker Night 1

• Flush - 58.8%
  Win a hand with a Flush.

Not too hard, should get this within a tourny or two

• Down to the Green - 24.3%
  Win consecutive all-ins.

Shouldn't be too hard if you're chasing it, especially if you're in a one-on-one. Will just require card luck.

• Straight Flush - 7.5%
  Win a hand with a Straight Flush

Straight Flushes are pretty rare. Just keep playing and keep chasing them I suppose.

Poker Night 2

• I Tournament to Do That - 67.2%
  Win a tournament.

Should be easy enough

• Sam to the Max - 30.4%
  Activate the Sam & Max deck, felt, and chips simultaneously.

You'll have to grind out many tournament wins to raise the cash for these, but they're the second cheapest ones.

• We Are the 1% - 6.7%
  Achieve a lifetime balance of one million dollars

You'll have to play a lot.

We Are the 1%
is hard tbh .. 1 Million Dollar
wow !

Not at all, if you know what I mean :D

On a serious note, it's all about luck getting required hand.

What about "play for the first time" credit, it should appear in your Playfire app instantly or it will appear when time to get achievements for this game is over?

Because Playfire is displaying me "Played Dwarfs!? for the first time, for a total of 9 minutes." on my profile, but no credit was added since yesterday, same for Poker Night 2, I played it even before Playfire.

Not hard at all.

It will take some time to get them so I guess they are hard to get

"Poker Night at the Inventory - unlock Straight Flush - £0.50"

If actually playing the game and not cheating, then most people will not get that one by the time these rewards expire.

I've played a decent amount of poker in my life and I can count on one hand the number of straight flushes I've even seen played, let alone having it myself. Unless you're lucky chances are you won't get one in such a short time frame.

With a 20% discount code and the $0.10 cashback you can get each game for $0.90 which is a bargain, but don't expect to make any profit out of it.

I'd say the reasons to go for Playfire rewards are:

1. You happen to have the game lying around unplayed from an old Humble Bundle;
2. You can pick the game up mega-cheap in a live bundle (eg Gun Monkeys); or
3. You were already thinking about getting the game anyway.

Otherwise I think you're just going to get annoyed by grinding to get the achievement.

I've been playing Poker Night at the Inventory (obtained under condition 1 above) and it's quite fun. I've only got two of the achievements so far, though.

Oh, 'n' Wikipedia says the probability of a straight flush is 0.0311%. That's one every 3,200 hands or so. And probably less frequently, given that you might fold or win some of those before the straight flush is revealed.

that stupid one million dollar trophy :o
i never got close as i am alway near 250,000
but how could i possibly win like 13 games in a row (Nearly)

Its not hard, its just kind of luck based, as you would assume given that its a card game.

You can get the best hand on your first ever time playing it or it could take you months of playing the game.

You could win all four special items in four straight games or it could take several before even one shows up.

If you play to get the achievements you'll be waiting a long time until they eventually come around. Poker's a skill game to some extent, but you can't control what cards come out which a few of these achievements involve so your best bet is to just keep playing new hands over and over as long as there's a chance that you can get any of the achievements your need, then reset it as soon as you see that you can't, rinse and repeat until you have them. I reckon it would take a few hours if not longer to get all of these achievements though.

It's probably not worthwhile if you only are interested in picking up the 2 games for the achievements. Maybe you'll have fun with it, but you'll probably be spending a few hours just to profit $.20-.30. If you know you'll enjoy yourself, sure, go for it.

Most of the achievements are easy to get. The only ones that are hard are getting Four of a kind and Straight flush. Those require a lot of luck. As for the 1%, it is merely requires playing several games.

If you have played poker and understand it, it shouldn't be that hard to get, I got all of the achievements in 8 hours of playtime, though I used the Alt+F4 trick a lot when I made all-in bets.

Question about "Poker Night at the Inventory - unlock Down to the Green - £0.25"

Says on the achievements list "Down to the Green - Win consecutive all-ins." Does that mean to showdown or doesn't it matter? If I go all-in pre-flop and everyone folds twice in a row do I get it?

Managed to get the We are the 1% achievement in Poker Night 2, took me just under 7 hours. Quick tip, make sure you don't quit on the first hand or you won't be able to continue and will lose money.

I have all for both, they weren't hard. It took a bit longer than I though it would but I enjoyed both games, too bad I can't get the credit for them.
