Recent changes to the Pokerstars software for Home Games, affecting all NEWLY CREATED tournaments:
- 15/30 starting blinds (also applied to all existing tournaments)
- all starting stacks fixed at 3,000 chips (no other option)
- all new events have 1 hour late registration
- four game options eliminated: PLHE/PLO, Mixed Hold'em, Mixed Omaha Hi/Lo, HOSE.
- one game option added: 5-Card Omaha (6- or 8-handed, No-Limit or Pot-Limit)
- 15-minute blind level option added (current options are 3, 5, 10, 15)
Any recurring tournament that gets auto-canceled due to attendance will NOT be able to be created as it was, due to these new changes. As a result, the newest versions of the PCF Tuesday PLO8 tournament and Saturday NLHE tournament both use 3,000 chips/10-minute blind format.
A new 5-Card Omaha event has been added on Thursday to replace the previous PLHE/PLO event.
