Our team has been tackling a couple of exciting updates, landing early next week:

Multi-Table Tournament Work In Motion

This week we kicked off backend infrastructure work on the most requested item from the community, multi-table tournaments (MTTs)! While the release date is slated for late summer, we’ll be sharing frequent updates on progress.

Weigh in on our roadmap

There’s more planned on the roadmap than just MTTs. Have you noticed the new roadmap link on our website? This serves as a glimpse into the major features we plan to tackle. We will add more in the coming weeks so please chime in on what matters most to you.

Perfect Pair Podcast

Episode 4 is a great conversation with poker streamer Kyle Fischl. The two played Texas Hold’em and discussed cash games, vlogging poker (of course!), the 2022 WSOP and Kyle being star-struck by Jamie Kerstetter (spoiler: she could not have been nicer. Good vibes!)

Poker highlights

Vegas Makes Everyone A Little Blurry. Hey, we know that guy! It’s Fun Country’s own, Brian Li.

And the guy directly on his right is also somewhat famous as a poker player: Daniel Negreanu. In honor of Brian taking blurry photos with poker Hall of Famers, we're linking to Daniel's DAY OFF WSOP poker vlog. Both the photo and the vlog are a great reminder that poker is fun, but taking some time off is key to maintaining success.
