Latest PokerStars Software Release

PokerStars recently upgraded the software they have developed. More and more features are being added to their top notch software by the month. The new release saw a Graphical Hand Replayer added, which allows pokerstars players to watch the hands they participated in be replayed, using a four colour deck to easily identify suits. Although this software feature is still in beta, when testing it we are happy to report we found it to be working 100% correctly.

Another new feature is that you can find out which PokerStars Pro players are playing online, and which table they’re playing at. From the PokerStars Lobby simply click requests and then scroll down to “Find A Team PokerStars Player…” which is situated about half way down the list. From here all of the players currently online will be listed and by clicking a name you’ll be able to find which tables they’re playing at.
