Hero Poker Update

One of the reasons why I haven't updated my blog is the Hero Poker Updates. Last week, it was Friday or Thursday, I was having trouble logging in to Hero Poker. One Pokermanila member informed me that they were updating Hero Poker that's why people can't log-in into their poker client. I checked the website and saw this message:

Monday came, I was kinda excited what changes they made because it's very unusual for a poker company to stop the games for a very long time. When I opened the poker client I saw this message:

March 25 came and again they needed more time to finish the updates.

Yesterday was the first day that Hero Poker went back online. No wonder they needed that much time, they moved all the games to a new HTML 5 platform. Now you can access hero poker from tablets, smart phones, macs and PCs. Here's what the new client looks like:

I was kinda skeptical at first because I've encountered web-based poker clients before and it was pretty laggy. Tried it out for a hands and it worked better than expected.

Here's what the tables look like now:

I am excited with these changes in Hero Poker because I think these will attract new players into the game. I am looking forward to how they evolve from here.

This is the reason why I haven't updated this blog. I wasn't able to play much because of the Hero Poker updates. There's another reason why I haven't updated this blog -- the Poker Stars' MicroMillions. I will update about it in my next blog entry.
