Just play Pro Takedowns until you unlock Mel Matthews.
He will fold the vast majority of the time if you raise at least 3x before the flop (I usually went $100-200). Just about every hand you'll be getting the +50 deal in, +500 winning streak, and maybe a +100 schooled bonus.
Normally if he puts up any money or calls you, he's got a King or an Ace. Once you whittle his money down enough, he'll end up having no choice but to go all in on most hands. When this happens, you'll probably beat him pretty quick for the 10,000 xp bonus.
Most games against Mel using this tactic, I would gain about a level and a half, at a pace of about 1 level every 10-15 minutes. Just gotta grind it out to 50.
PS:
This is a lot like the solution posted by phatal1ty; the only difference being you don't need a boosting partner to press B for 5 hours. Mel does that pretty well on his own :)

Works perfect, have only done it 3 times now but I'm banging out around 2 and a half levels a go. Although how I'm doing it is around a 20-25min marker. Don't know how mine is going much slower but the levels even out I suppose. Voted up. Cheers!

**Edited Disclaimer: The WP7 and Arcade version of this game were released to work in conjunction with each other. Money and EXP you earn in the WP7 version will count toward your total in the Arcade version. This solution will ONLY work for anyone that has both the WP7 version and the Arcade version.**
You can level up faster in the Arcade version by using your WP7 game. When I first started the Arcade version, I had just completed the WP7 version at Level 50. Once all my stats, experience and money was transferred over to the Arcade version, I think it put me at level 39. I played some and gained some more experience and got up to level 41, but that was after a couple of Pro Takedowns and a couple of long 10 player tournaments.
On a whim, I went back to the WP7 version and went back to beating Daisy Deuce in the Pro Takedown. My experience is maxed out in the WP7 version, but it keeps adding to my total over the 50 level mark. I just kept playing for about 15 minutes or so, winning several more games against Daisy, and I went back to the Arcade version and my experience went from 41 to 50, because of all the extra experience I had accumulated in the WP7 version. To get the achievement to pop, just start a new game (any kind of game) and as it completes the loading screen and starts zooming around the tables, your achievement will pop.
So, if you want to level up fast, and have the WP7 version of the game, just go back to the beating Daisy Deuce method and you will get your level 50 in no time.
This method will also work if you need additional money to get the $500,000 achievement.

The easiest way to do this is to play any of the pro takedown games.
Go all in on every hand, CPU will fold nearly every time and you''ll get 600+ XP per hand.
I have been getting huge amount of xp doing this.
Once in a while the CPU will call you, then its just a case of luck, I won as much as I lost on the all in calls, but when it does happen you'll still be able to carry on since you'll have the most chips and won't be out
I've also beaten all of the Pro Takedowns with this method and a little luck

For the record, when using this method you net about 1950 XP per minute that you're boosting... that's three hands per minute - 3 x 600XP (Streak) and 3 x 50 XP (Dealt In).
It's not the fun way of leveling up, but it's easy, and if you win all in you get the big bonus for beating that Pro... I generally play against Daisy Deuce, who nets you 21k XP fo the win... but it's a $50k buy-in, and you have to unlock her.

Maybe I just have particularly bad luck, but I haven't won a single time when called all-in after about 10-15 times of being beaten. This seems to be because whenever the computer calls me it is aware it has cards that are at least reasonably good and are likely to beat mine.

The best AI to do a pro take down against for this is Larry Louche. He's a bully and usually goes all in against you. Start an all pro tournament against him and go all in no matter what you have. He will almost always call this. If you win you get 7,500 xp very easy, if you lose you lose very little chips and get 600 xp for second place. The xp earn't from this is so high its worth the risk, even if you lose 5 in a row and win just 1 you'll still of earn't 10,500xp + any little bits (all in to win, showdown winner etc). If you won every other hand it would take you just under 200 hands to reach level 50 from level 1. This may sound a lot but compared to other methods this is very quick. You can start the game, go all in and win/lose in under two minutes so if it took you 200 games this would take you no more than 7 hours. The benefits of this method is that you can do it alone and there a bit of a thrill to see if you win or not! Also Larry compared to Mel or Rai has a lower risk buy in, good xp for his buy in and also much more likely to go all in straight away! Hope it goes well for you!

Thanks this worked beautifully. The only thing I did different was that I picked which hands I want to go all in. I've probably won 9 out every 10 games doing this. Leveled up very fast.

Ding! Top Dog!
I found this out while going for the achievement Alpha dog:
By doing this method you will unlock this achievement, just make sure to DL the DLC on the Dashboard called Full House Poker: Texas Heat, Summer 2012 Season.
Pretty much you go into Single player, Tournament, High format, No limit for betting, Buy in 0, Turn timers Off, 1 table, and 2 players per table. All you have to do is hit Y over and over and over, some AI's depending on who you will play with will call right away, some will take forever to call. If you just keep doing this every time they fold you will get 500 exp.
The best part about doin this method is that it only takes 1 hand to do it. If you win, you get a good amount of xp, a small amount of cash and all you have to do is reload it and repeat. I got about 50k exp doing it in 1 tourney, the AI would always fold. And if he called I would lose. If that happens just keep doing it and he will still keep folding.
Hope this helps! GL!
