Far Cry 3

Best solution ever! Only had to all in twice and got the bleep-bloop!

Excellant!! All in twice, achievement popped! Awesome!!

Not working for me. Game starts, I go all in, I bust out and have to leave the table because I'm broke. Thoughts?

I'm having the same issue as Frankie Godskin.

got the achievement by beating them one at a time.

This worked great for me but you may want to add you need to take down the harmanse gas outpost (its around 605, 488 if you don't have any of the map revealed) for the quest giver to show.

Oh... I did not know that. Thanks Bad!

Wow it actually worked. Thanks a lot for the great guide. +1

I royally suck a poker so thanks a ton for this solution.

I just actually played for real and won in about 10 minutes or so. I enjoyed the break from the regular part of the game and found it kinda fun!!! :)

I was unable to do this at first. I went into the system settings and deleted the Title Update, went into the quest, and completed it in two hands. Maybe there was something in there that prevented this from working. Can anyone else confirm?

Just got the achievement with the Title Update. I want 'All In' straight away on the first hand and everyone else went 'All In' as well. I ended up winning the hand (and $2000) and bam achievement popped and game finished in one hand.

Cheers

The side quest only became available to me after I finally got around to liberating the nearby base, Harmanse Gas & Repair.

DJ Drty Chapstk, yep. the second edit of the solution points that out.

Got the achievement thanks to you.I went all in and everyone else aswell, and i won :D

Got a straight the first hand, works for sure.

Works great! Thanks. I only had to all in twice. If you bust the first time just restart mission.

Thanks for the tip

Just wanted to add that your losses don't subtract from the $1500 goal. Example: If you enter a table with $7000 and end up leaving with only $4000 but if you won enough games to get to $1500 then it still pops even though you technically lost $3000 overall.
Another way to say it, it doesn't matter how much you bet and lose, as long as your wins made at least $1500, NOT your cumulative winnings.

I won 2000 in a single game! Thank you!

It really was easy, it only makes an all-in and is gaining thanks for the tip

Didn't work for me at all. Just played the game legit beating the other 3 persons which also nets the achievement.

Not clear from the solution, but if you lose multiple times to the point where you've lost all your money, you can hit start, then Restart Quest, and you'll have all your money back.

Also not noted in the solution, should I be picking novice, skilled, expert on the table?

They may have done a patch recently that forces you to actually play the game of poker during the quest. I'll bum-rush the story and try to reach the point of this quest and see what's going on. Perhaps try playing one hand normally and then going all in? Unless they changed the quest you still just need to win this one game of poker to unlock the achievement.

it may just be one of those things where it works for 90% of the gamers and the other 10% have to play them legit. What I ended up having to do was to just try and bluff my way calling and checking and if the bets exceeded 100$ and I didn't have a hand, I just folded until the next round. That worked out great for me because more times than not, the hand that won had a high card that was higher than mine. If I had a hand I would call and check and on the final flop for the river, I'd go all in and usually they'd either fold or I would win.

@Pedle Zelnip: It might've just been my bias, but I feel the Notice level was easier than the Expert, in the sense that the other players aren't as hard to beat, they folded easier, and didn't keep raising the bid so high. Novice also tells you what your hand is, which is good because I don't know how to play Poker.

I hated earning this achievement. I spent a good 2 hours blindly guessing. At first, my plan was to go "All In" on the first round, if I lost then reset and reload. But with my system load times were taking a while.

So I played, tapping out if my cards looked bad, going all in if my cards were good. Say the round asks you to put down $100, you keep getting bad cards and tapping out, and you get whittled down to $15. But then you get 3 pairs or whatever, go all in, and end up winning $150. Then I'd quit, save the game, and the amount of money won goes up by $50. Rinse and repeat. The first few times I got lucky so it was $500 & $400, but by the end it was increments of $20 or $15.

... Maybe I did it bass-ackwards. As I said, I genuinely did not enjoy this achievement.

EDIT: I didn't have enough money to beat against Hoyt in the story. I wonder if I'd had $1500 there if I could've skipped the whole ordeal.

Great method and works quite well. Only difference was that I didn't quit to the menu when I lost, I just kept playing immediately and went all in again, as soon as I won, I left the game, then rejoined again.

Never quit to main menu and I got the achievement in about 5 mins.

Thanks for the great guide!

solution is good .. anyway when I started to play with those guys poker just sucked me in for few hours :D - I lost and won few rounds and suddenly achievemend popped :D

great guide thumbs up from me!

Or outside of it. I don't remember but I kept spawning right outside of it

It does remove money from your total if you lose.

Yes it does, so if you don't wanna loose any Money, go to Menu and reload the Save as soon you loose. If you don't care about you can simply play as long you have still Money and only reload if you loose all, may save a bit Time at Cost of Money, but i preferred not to loose any and stock the Money up this way... lol

yeah simple method, great solution. +1

So, so simple it's not fecking funny, thumbs up for me :)

Just do it on the second island, buy in is near 1k, 2k and 4k

Only took two games, won 790 on the first and 1040 on the second.

Can you get this achievement in practice mode

There is a side quest that will give you this achievement... it is on the second island anyway you have to win back some dudes money which was only $300 but you have to stay until all 3 guys bust and the buy in is $500.. so you win $1500 i don't know what the side quest is called though

Worked perfectly thanks!!

Definitely cumulative. I've just played a few games here and there only ever on the first bit with a top win of £750 at best. Achievement just popped up.

Great!

I lost about a dozen games before winning once. Just my luck but I got the achievement.

Definitely the best solution. I backed out and saved after every win. No glaring issues although money won in game is different from money won in terms of the solution.

When u save the game inside the poker place it spawns u back in when u reload your save

If you reload, it always spawns you at the last Outpost, so to save Time go to an Outpost where a Pokergame is, there are two of them if i remember right
