Being among the world’s largest poker rooms, PokerStars has in recent years made several changes to attract more recreational players.
To attain this, they have restructured their rewards programs to ensure their games are more profitable. They have also made their games more welcoming to casual players.
We all know poker can be a tough game and if you engage in it to earn income rather than for pleasure and entertainment, it might be very tedious. In their pursuit of maintaining a mix of both regulars and recreational players, Pokerstars introduced a rule whereby all players needed to show their hole cards in all cash games.
Previously, this had been a rule only in tournaments. In cash games, players did not have to show their hole cards unless they won the hand. This whole idea was to make the game more thrilling to players:
- Given that most of the cash game players are also tournament players, this rule won’t feel so foreign since it adheres to the same structure.
- For recreational players, this is also an advantage on their end.
