Ask 'Stars to spread Kansas City Lowball

KotOD · #1 05-15-2007, 08:30 PM

I just sent this email to Pokerstars, if you get a minute send something similar along, please:

ideas@pokerstars.com, support@pokerstars.com, pokermanager@pokerstars.com

Hello,

I'm writing to ask that Pokerstars consider adding Kansas City Lowball (2-7, Single Draw, No Limit Lowball) as one of the games spread for both cash and tournament purposes.

I've enjoyed the new "other games" offerings from Pokerstars recently, especially Pot Limit Draw and 2-7 Triple Draw and I feel that adding Kansas City Lowball would reach a great number of players that have played previously, yet have no other place to play online. I also feel that because of the similarities between Kansas City Lowball and No Limit Texas Hold 'Em, the "pure poker" aspect of Kansas City Lowball will appeal greatly to your largest player base.

Please consider making Pokerstars the online home of Kansas City Lowball.

Great idea! I'd also love to see them start spreading follow the queen or baseball. Wouldn't that be awesome?!?!

From a programming standpoint, I think it would be easier for them to take their 7 card stud engine and implement follow the queen than it would be to take their triple draw engine and implement KCL. I also think more people would play the former and that they would also lose their money to good players more gradually. In either case, implementing either is a silly idea and an unnecessary distraction. Let's add 5-card stud while we're at it!

IMO, stars only added 5-card draw for completeness' sake, and TD/RAZZ/HORSE because they're popular (re)additions to the WSOP.
