New Software Update Released at PartyPoker
This was published 03-11-2010Party Poker, one of the biggest poker rooms in the world recently revealed that it has released a software update featuring some stimulating concepts.
“Show a Card” and “Rabbit Hunting” have been introduced to the site as well as anonymous heads-up tables which gives players an opportunity to play poker without an avatar or moniker, thus preventing any previous history or statistics being available to an opponent. Those online players utilizing poker software tools such as Holdem Manager and PokerTracker will not have access to any of their opponent’s details allowing the playing field for non-software users to be leveled.
Unlike playing in a brick-and-mortar casino the anonymous heads-up tables concept does not give players a chance to ever know who they are competing against which is a welcome change for those players who have turned into multi-tabling robots who know every statistic.
Two other new features added to the PartyPoker site are “Rabbit Hunting” and “Show a Card” which both add lots of enjoyment for the casual as well as for the serious player.
“Rabbit Hunting” is an exciting addition to PartyPoker that was originally made available on the Merge Gaming Network. Players get a chance to see what the following card on the board would have been with this feature and even though the card does not change the result of the hand, it manages to add some intrigue to the game.
Many high-stakes games appearing on television as well as some brick-and-mortar card rooms worldwide have the “Show a Card” option and PartyPoker players will now have the ability to turn over one card during heads-up play so as to play mind games with an opponent. This tactic is very popular as players are unable to ascertain whether their opponent is bluffing or on a draw and knowing one’s opponent’s hole cards can be both helpful and confusing.
