POWER UP! New game on pokerstars

[Bev]

just tried it , and the images didn't load, didn't get past the first box , rather a dumb game , not for me at all

 

[ayo]

After updating pokerstars you will find this option.
I think it is most like an arcade game than poker itself.

[Teodora Agardi]

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT 😱 but I don't think , I'll be interesting ... I don't like playing games based on luck

 

[iudinvictor]

I probyval, but this game can not be played for money. Very unpredictable.

 

[dominiq]

I think it could be funny for people who play card games like Munchkin, but play it for money?

 

[froggeedogs]

doesn't look like poker to me..............would not play

well, first of all I think it as a good thing that they keep inventing new game types
BUT there are a few things here that are just complete shit:

- the most basic thing to say; in the moment you bring in such power-ups (or how they are called to manipulate the game) the entire pot-odd calculation formulas go out the window -> and I don't see how you can create a new model to calculate the odds or the pot-odds! (and let me state that was probably the intention behind the entire thing...)
- but okay this game is clearly not for players who think too much in the direction of pot-odds but more for action-recreational-casual-players; the problem even for them is that it is unfair that everyone gets random 3 power-ups, you can never say which one will come next and they can easily decide the hand -> it is one thing trying to put your opponent on a hand and a completely different one to guess power-ups, it is impossible anyway I know, so the entire hand-reading aspect of poker goes out the window
- I like the new skin, though (reminds me on FT)

There are probably more things to say to the new game but that is what I thought about first.
PS probably tries to kick-off a poker-hype with an unbelievable innovative game that even the mainstream from the video-game community switches to poker (with this power-ups it reminds me a bit on MOBAs or other MMOGs) but I don't think it can work in general and especially not with this game Power-Up.

No. Crazy they coming up with all these new ways and games to play. It's marketing . To keep players interested. And of course play a new game and lose money.. haha .. Some are cool. But no some lately are crazy.

Have you seen the new game called Power Up on the pokerstars?

What are your thoughts on this game?

Personally I think it's a joke and disgrace to game of poker.

Do you know what power up on pokerstars does or what is it suppose to cover?

 

[christiancjs]

This is a new way to attract recreational players to pokerstars. It seems like a crap this new game.

 

[peowulf]

I played it once, it was fun as in something different and unpredicatble, but I don't think I'd bet real money on it, just some play money once in a while.

 

[antonis32123]

I didn't understand it so I don't touch it , I don't wanna lose my bankroll with such a strange game . I think there was no need for pokerstars to come up with such a game .

You will not lose bankroll, as the game goes to the conventional chips. There was no way to play for real money. But now the game is somehow removed.

 

[doom]

well ps will have some good promotions when it come out so most of players will at least try it

 

[AjsmenX]

I think this is just a new game for play money.. I tried it but I am not big fun of these type of games. It was able for playing for few days and now they are still working on that game before they deploy it live

 

[Gambit123]

Just tried it. It is all right, maybe beacuse I won and how I won.

Flops the nut straight then he plays along using powers to pick nexts cards and bets then I destroy the card which can give him a higher straight that came on turn.

Took me a few minutes to get adjusted , he had a huge chip league before I came back.

It's fun won 60 odds cents yay

 

[balaso]

idk

i tried like 2 times a long time ago but this week i played again and its some funny but not much if u want to play with cash
so i just play there for fun

 

[rafa77777]

I don’t know, I didn’t even play at it, I’m generally opposed to such new products .. I’m for the old schoo

 

[bc2017]

I really love the concept and it means you have to think about a lot more variables on each street - a real challenge!

 

[Transcendence]

I don't really like it, I have it why it lags, even though I was winning at micro, large afraid to take a chance still not very clear, but the way the UFC and I don't really what there yelling clapping distracts from the game. Something's wrong. It used to be better, I mean SNG.
