Like the original game, there is a large amount of dialogue due to the banter that the characters share. In addition to the Texas hold 'em style of play featured in the original game, Poker Night 2 introduced the Omaha hold 'em style as a playable mode as well.

Each player starts with the same amount of virtual money (which was raised to $20,000 per player and $100,000 total from $10,000 per player and $50,000 total in the original game), and competes in standard poker rules to try to eliminate all the other players by exhausting their money. Like the original game, Poker Night 2 is a computer-based poker simulation between an unseen silent participant (the player) and four characters that is played in The Inventory that was featured in the previous game.
