The WassPoker room offers you the latest and greatest features to make your online poker experience the best that it can be! Simply click on one of the features below to learn more about each one:
Quick Start
Sometimes you just want to open the client and get right to a table, no searching through the client looking for the game type, table type, stakes and then finding a table that isn't full. For these moments we have integrated a 'Quick Start' feature.
On the left hand side of the lobby when you log in is a 'Quick Start' box with 4 drop down menus. Simply make your selections from Game Type, Table Type, Stakes and Minimum Players at Table and the click on Play Now and you will be taken straight to a table that meets your needs. No extra clicks, no time wasted searching through game lists to find the right game, just tell us what you need and we will send you straight there.
You can come back to the screen with the Quick Start at any time in the client, just click on the News tab
Rabbit Hunt
When you have won a hand, sometimes players are left wondering if they should have stayed in the hand against you. If you are at your home game or in a card club sometimes a player will ask to see what cards would've come if they hadn't folded, this is called Rabbit Hunting.
While this is frowned upon in casino's and tournaments, in most informal games it is allowed. At WassPoker we put this power in the hands of the winner. So if you win a hand unopposed, you can choose to rabbit and see what cards would have come.
This can be a great way to show your opponents your bluff, and to show them they really had you beat. Of course you might just end up showing your opponent that they made the right call with the lay down.
The only penalty is that you have to show the table what your hole cards were.
Either way the power is in your hands, Happy Hunting!
Multiple Windows
If you're a new player at WassPoker you may not be aware of our multiple window feature.
By using multiple windows you can easily play all your favorite tournaments without ever having to miss the action at the tables.
Players can select from having a new window for every table or use a 2x2 Grid layout.
It's the perfect aid for playing multiple ring games, a daily freeroll, and even a game of blackjack without having to switch between windows.
To configure your multiple windows simply click the "Settings" button, followed by the window tab and your preferences.
Vector Graphics
We like to think that its the little things that can make a big difference, so when we made our re-sizable windows we made sure that no matter what size you make our window, the graphics remain clear, and don't go pixelated.
To achieve this all our table images are vector graphics (also called geometric modeling or object-oriented graphics). Wikipedia explains this as the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and polygons, which are all based upon mathematical equations to represent images in computer graphics.
For those of us who don't care for jargon, the only important thing we need to know, is that no matter what we do to our screen, the graphics are always crisp. Lets face it, if you are playing for hours on end the screen can get blurry enough as it is, you don't need pixelated graphics as well.
Expose 1 Card
Whether you are laying down your hand to a big bet, if one called your bet, or if you really want to keep your opponents on their toes, use WassPoker's 'expose one card' feature.
Some poker rooms allow you to show both your hole cards, but at WassPoker we go one further and allow you to show either both your cards, or just one card.
Say you had top pair but a weak kicker and you couldn't call a big bet you might show your high card to prove you weren't on a complete bluff. Conversely you might show your low card, to appear as if you were on a complete bluff. Either way showing only one card generally leaves your opponent asking more questions for which only you have the answers.
Accolades
For every major event held at WassPoker we have an accolade that goes in your player box, so if you win big tournament you get a customized trophy or ribbon to show off your achievements.
So for our regular tourneys we have trophies and ribbons, and for our special events, we have extra special accolades. From snowmen for our winter tourney to a turkey for our Thanksgiving tourney and even a boxing kangaroo for our Aussie Millions winners.
Just because you haven't won a big event it doesn't mean you shouldn't be rewarded. Also in our player boxes are stars, which are rewards for regular play. So the more you play, the more stars you get, so when you sit down at a table, everyone knows they need to show you some respect.
Smilies
Lets face it table talk is a huge part of poker, and while you lose some of the animation of live table talk when you're just typing text in a box, at WassPoker we are making it our goal to put some of that animation back in.
When typing several words into chat, your words are magically transformed to animated smilies. Type fish and see a shark swim through and eat the fish or type donkey and see a donkey kicking up his heels.
There are heaps of well known smilies that you see regularly at the table, and our development team is always sneaking in new ones, some of which are yet to be found.
So while you are at the tables, be sure to have a play with some of your favorite poker terms and see if they come to life.
Player Tag
Think someone is a fish? Then tag them so you know the next time you meet them at the table. Choose your own custom descriptions to go with our range of player tags.
To tag a player while at the tables simply click on a player and choose a tag icon. You can also type notes on the player and even choose whether you want to see this players table chat or not.
