It's been a while since we heard anything about popular Xbox Live game, Texas Hold 'em. It seems that Microsoft noticed the same. So what do companies do upon noticing minor problems? Act at once, that's what they do! True to its nature, Microsoft just announced that the game will be updated tomorrow.

As part of their Xbox Live Wednesdays promotion, Microsoft will be making the update available tomorrow beginning 8 a.m. onwards. One of the main reasons for the update is to eliminate cheating, and not to mention speeding up gameplay. Unfortunately for those who are comfortably sitting atop the leaderboards, all scores will be reset to delete the inflated ones.

So if that's okay with you, check out the update to Texas Hold 'em tomorrow morning when you wake up. Anyway, here's the full list of changes and features for the game:

• Post the blind and play right away! - Players can now, if they wish, start playing immediately when joining a table by posting the big blind, rather than having to wait for the blind to come to them.
• New 'Away' mode - Players can now set their status to 'Away'. Hands will be auto-folded and blinds auto-posted until the player returns.
• New 'Auto-boot' mode - Players who continuously let the timer expire (more than three times in a game) will be booted from the table
• Faster overall pacing - Timers and messaging durations have been adjusted to speed up game-play among experienced players, but still allow novice players plenty of time to play.
• Improved blind structure - Initial blinds, as well as blind increases, are now more proportional to table stakes, ensuring more meaningful increases during game-play.
• Matchmaking improvements - Players are no longer matched into games they cannot afford
• Improved interface controls - Improvements to controls, such as increasing/decreasing stake amounts
• Leaderboard display - A player's full winnings and rank are now properly displayed
• Art and text improvements - Game art and spelling issues have been addressed
• Online exploits addressed - Certain known exploits that enabled cheating have been addressed. As a result, the online multi-player leaderboards will be reset to eliminate inflated scores as a result of these exploits.

Just in case you've been living under a rock for the last few weeks or haven't been around your Xbox 360 since Wednesday morning this is your friendly reminder to log on to Xbox Live and get your copy of Texas Hold 'em for free as you have less than 24 hours. The card came is running a promotion whereas you can download the full version for 48 hours without having to pay the 800 Microsoft Points it would cost you if you wait until 0800 GMT (1:00 A.M. Pacific Standard Time) tonight or early tomorrow morning on Friday August 25th depending on the way you look at it.

The game is actually quite addicting even in the world we live in where anyone can play poker or hold em online or if your like me and live in Las Vegas, but there is something that is pretty fun about being able to kick back with 8 friends over Xbox Live and relax for a few hands or in my case since the release of the game several hours.

One of the funniest things that we have found in the game so far is the 4 of Diamonds, go ahead and check out the picture above and see if you can spot why the card is so special and I'll give you a hint, you're not looking for Waldo. The best thing about noticing that on the card is it took our good friend, guitar playa247, who is legally blind to point that out to all of us. So once again if you haven't done so already go ahead and pick up the Xbox Live Arcade title by downloading it over on the Marketplace before 1 A.M.
