New features on Poker Heaven!

We’ve updated our software!

This March we are once again launching features that were developed following feedback from our players.  With a number of new features, we hope to increase your enjoyment of the game and offer an even better poker product!

Hand Re-player in the client

Although Poker Heaven offer an external hand replayer, to provide ease of use you will now be able to replay hands directly in the poker client.

You can click the REPLAY button in the menu from any open table to view a replay of a hand completed at that table during the current game session.

You can also view a replay of any completed hand from any game session by clicking on the HAND HISTORY button under the “Support” tab in the lobby. You can then locate a particular hand by choosing the Year, Month and Date of the game session as well as the table (Game Type/Game) at which the hand was played.

Make a deal:

The “Tournament Deal” feature allows players who remain in a tournament at the final table to accept a proposed deal to end the tournament a bit early. Deals are only available at the final table in multi-table tournaments (MTTs) when remaining players have chips left and there is no rebuy or add-on time left. In the lobby, MTTs that offer a deal are marked by a special icon.

As long as all remaining players have not yet ticked the ballot box, a player can tick, untick and retick the box at will. However, the moment all remaining players have ticked the box, the current hand will be played out and a deal will be proposed to each player in a pop-up window. The deal amount each player is offered reflects the amount remaining in the prize pot as well as the amount of the player’s chip stack.

How Deal Amounts Are Calculated

a) If there are 8 players remaining in the tournament, each of the 8 players will first be due the amount the player who placed in 8th would have gotten.

b) Of the amount subsequently remaining in the prize pool, 50% is distributed equally among all 8 remaining players while 50% is distributed proportionately to all n remaining players according to the ratio of each player’s chip stack to the total amount still in play.

Statistics to review

The statistics shown to you by clicking the STATISTICS button under the ‘SETTINGS’ tab are derived from your accumulated results in the chosen Game(s) and Game Type(s) offered in the client. These can be selected from the drop-down menus:

Coloured Player Note

For convenience, you can now categorise fellow players in pre-defined categories according to perceived level of skill. A player can be placed in one of four categories in the “Player Notes” area.

•Shark = Red (A tough opponent to watch out for)

• Medium = Blue (A worthy opponent)

• Fish = Green (A weaker opponent)

• None = White

Chosen categorisations are stored locally on your computer and are visible as the background colour that surrounds a player’s nickname. The categorisation colours are visible even when the player is merely observing a game.

Full client on the ‘Mac’ – COMING SOON!

If you are a MAC user you can soon enjoy poker more than ever with the market’s first full-feature client for the Mac.


All these and more… from March 27th at Poker Heaven!
