Down with Power Up

I've decided to relegate Power Up to the scap heap of failed poker variants; in other words, I won't be playing it any more. Not only did I never receive any response to the feedback I provided as an alpha tester, PokerStars never fixed the crashes (which proved to be more and more irksome as time went on). Also, I realized there's no profit to be made from any poker variant which only has three players; that just leaves too much room for luck, and not enough for skill. It was fun while it lasted, but as I predicted, it didn't last long.
