48 hours of free Texas Hold ‘em on Xbox Live

Microsoft’s Xbox Live version of Texas Hold ‘em is online and anyone can play it for free… for 48 hours. From now until Friday, August 25^th (1:01 AM PST) there is no buy in for Texas Hold ‘em. After Friday the game will cost 800 Microsoft Points ($10). Texas Hold ‘em for Live Arcade has a “Persistent Bankroll” feature where your chips are linked to your gamertag. If a player loses all of their chips they have to play in lower stakes games before you can get back to the high roller tables.
