We're Live
It took longer than expected and we still have some technical issues regarding the website not playing nice with the poker server, but everything regarding the new poker server is up and running fine!
So what we'll do until we track down the website issues is login directly to the poker server, which really isn't a big difference and is probably easier and quicker for most players. Most people weren't really doing anything on the website itself anyway outside viewing stats and we hope to have them back up and running very soon.
So What's New?
- Added Omaha-6 games
- Added Courchevl games
- Added player's choice option to mixed ring games
- Added ICM Chop option to tournaments
- Added Rabbit Hunting option
- Added Run-it-Twice option for No-Limit & Pot-Limit ring games
- New table icons replacing drop down menu
- Live level timer on tournament tables
- Added ability to reveal specifi hole cards in non-showdown situations
- Instant rebuys in ring games so you can say in the next hand
- Lobby and table windows now have maximize and minimize buttons
- Table chat can be toggled to show statistics
- Higher resolution graphics (avatars, cards, chips)
- New chip transaction database can be queried by players
- Option added to resign from tournament
- Increased tournament starting chips maximum to 100K
By far the most welcome additions, in my humble opinion, are the Run-it-Twice and Rabbit Hunting features. To enable the ability to Run-it-Twice in No-Limit & Pot-Limit ring games, simply check the box on the table (see image below).
Every player who has enabled this feature will show a "2X" icon on their avatar (see image below).
When players are All-In they will have 15 seconds to choose whether to Run-it-Twice or Run-it-Once. Two buttons will appear in the bottom right of the room, simply click the appropriate button.
In the hand history displayed below you can see that the hand was run twice by the players and you can also see how you can Rabbit Hunt in the hand history by selecting the check box in the bottom left of the hand history window.
