Online poker giant introduces online home games

Offering users to customize their interface and invitations in order to create their own tournaments and home games will means players can reunite with their college buddies, ex-girlfriends or family on the virtual felts.

The latest addition to the myriad of services offered by PokerStars gives players the chance to host private Poker games and tournaments online with a personal touch that is meant to lead to the creation of exclusive, private clubs.

Special features of the Home Poker Games option, that has been undergoing testing and parallel running on the poker room’s play money Website and is to go live with real money users this week, include: the tournaments and cash games can deliver an online home game with a buy-in range from micro-stakes up to $1/$2; the new clubs can have memberships of up to fifty players who will not show up on the search feature while seated at Home Game Poker tables; the private games are not subject to the IP requirements used elsewhere on the Wesbite so players in the same household are able to play on different the tables at the same time.

Club managers are able to notify their members of newly-created tournaments and cash game tables instantly through direct connections to their Facebook and Twitter accounts. Once a club has been created, the manager can assign “Administrator” status to other members in order to give them to set up their own games.

The home game atmosphere can be defined by choosing your “local” type of poker played, from Texas Holdem Poker, Omaha Poker and HORSE to the Mixed Game format. Club members compete against each other for long-term glory with a point system presented as club leaderboard. Each and every tournament and statistic of the action that makes up the club’s history will be stored and available for perusal at any time by club members.

Even though the major online poker rooms have promoted the idea of private tournaments in various ways for a number of years, this new feature is the first real attempt to engage groups of users to customize their own cash games, tables and tournaments.

Virgin Poker Review

As we are all aware of the fact that Sir Richard Branson, a man with a vast business acumen, has carved a fine niche for himself in almost all the large businesses in the world, ranging from mobile phones and record companies to huge things as trains and airline companies. Now, it has opened its doors to the world of online poker. What really amazed us was that Virgin Poker, exceeded our expectations, by being one of the most professional gaming sites. It broke all the taboos that we may have had in our minds about it. Today, it has become one of the most visited sites and a favorite of many a people. And it is because of its multi-faceted reasons that it has become so popular.

The home page itself is beautifully laid out in burgundy and maroon colors and has the well known red Virgin logo. When you see the large list on the menu, you can immediately understand why the site has gained so much popularity. To begin with, we have to download the software, which is 3.4 MB in size and takes about a few seconds to download, from the “Download Client Now” box which can be seen on the top center of the screen. The next step is to register and fill in all your personal details such as your name, address, e-mail address and so on. And in case you want to play with cash, you will have to give your credit card details as well. All this takes but a couple of minutes.

Virgin Poker makes sure that it can fulfill the requirements of all kinds of poker players. The list of games includes Texas Holdem, Omaha, 7 Card Stud, 5 Card Draw with a choice of single or multi tournaments. Stakes beginning at 0.05/0.10 US$ may reach up to 500/1000US$ and you have a number of tables available using the currencies, Euros and the Sterling.

The playing techniques are easy and the option buttons clearly tell you what to do, allowing the players to have a smooth game play. The tables are simple in design with the red Virgin logo sitting pretty in the center. The sound effects are also kept low key, but the overall experience of playing is quite pleasant.

Another thing that makes the Virgin Poker site more distinct from the others, is the excellent “Learn The Game” and “Master The Game sections. These sections have an immense variety of information regarding poker, including tutorials for amateurs and advanced skills such as when to bluff safely, how to play your position wisely and to how to use the aggressive “all-in” call correctly. Some of these subjects can be viewed on video tutorials that have experienced player exhibiting these game techniques. And even if you have been playing for a very long time, some of these tutorials can help you perfect your gaming skills.

And this is not the end of its surprises. Virgin Poker offers V-points to players who frequent the site. These V-points can be cashed against Virgin products, such as Virgin vouchers, Virgin mobiles top-up cards including air miles or you have the option of using it to play more poker.

To round up the whole thing, we can say that the Virgin Poker site is just fabulous, thanks to Sir Branson and his efficient team members who have made this gaming experience, a time to remember.
