This week’s Weekly 3 focuses on sites that offer unique variations on your favorite games that may make the poker experience more exciting and interesting to the “burnt out” player.
3) Poker Time’s “Survivor Series”- You’re used to being knocked out of a tournament when you’re out of chips, but what do you do if your position in the tournament at the end of the level can determine whether you’re in or out? The Survivor Series keeps players on the edge of their chairs with constantly escalating position waypoints that players have to be above at the end of the level, or face elimination, whether or not you’re out of chips. An exciting new take on the same old poker tournament, for sure.
2) Bodog/Bovada’s “Anonymous Tables”- One of the newer innovations that sites are toying with, Bodog’s Anonymous Tables let players stop worrying about whether or not their opponents have sophisticated means of tracking their stats or learning their play via multiple sit downs with the same player; all players are masked when they sit at the table, preventing them from being tracked or learned, making every sit down at the Anonymous Tables a brand new experience against brand new opponents (whether you know it or not) every single time.
1) 888 Poker’s “PokerCam” tables- Online poker is starting to become more like the real thing every day, and 888 has gotten one step closer to making the two versions of poker meld, by introducing PokerCam tables that let players see exactly who their up against every hands, bringing back facial tells and giving players the immersion of being right there at the tables. It’s hard to emulate that brick and mortar feel that you get at the casino and home game poker games, but 888 is bringing you one step closer with PokerCam.
