The PowerUp Misplay Series: Game 1, Day 1
Introducing the Misplay Series: Coming in as a Noob == Winnings up to this point: $0 == The first playable hand we get comes quick with a KJ offsuit on the big blind. It’s limped to us and we raise 3bb without using any of our power up options. Our powerup hand at this point […]
The PowerUp Misplay Series: Coming in as a Noob
It’s likely – really likely, in fact – that when the devs over at PokerStars thought up PowerUp I wasn’t their first choice as a target demographic.

PowerUp Launch delay update: Back up early next week
The latest on PowerUp’s real money launch is reassuring.

The group’s press release and simultaneous blog post also pointed out that the game will be available on .com and .uk […]

Big News: PowerUp Poker features a Universe of fun…literally
The PokerStars Championship: Barcelona saw a lot of big stories pop up. PokerStars’ newly rebranded global event series broke its own record for the most attended poker tournament they’d ever run (Spain’s National Championship – a 1k Euro buy-in with over 4.7k runners) and more. Normally these would be the biggest news out of a […]
