One of the features I'd like to implement on PlayPoker.community is zero-risk player staking for backers.
If a player cashes in a tournament they were staked for, the backers would automatically be credited with their agreed-upon share of the winnings.
Horses could set their staking terms before requesting a stake, while backers could openly browse and choose which players they want to support.
Thoughts? I know ACR has a staking system, although it was implemented after I stopped playing...

As we continue building PPC, one topic we need to decide on is whether HUDs (Heads-Up Displays) should be allowed for all players.
HUDs can provide useful information such as VPIP, PFR, aggression, and other betting tendencies. Some players feel they improve decision-making, while others believe they create an unfair advantage, especially for newer or less experienced players.
Should PPC allow all players to use HUDs, or should we limit/ban HUDs to keep the games more accessible and...
Hey guys! How do you usually adjust your strategy when switching from standard MTTs to Pineapple or fast-paced Home Games? Do you widen your ranges significantly pre-flop, or stick strictly to fundamental GTO baselines?
Curious to see how you adapt to the dynamics!
Should we add a PPC Players of the Month feature? Maybe we could have separate trophies for cash game players and tournament players.
We could base it on win rate, overall profit, or another metric. I’m open to ideas and would love to hear everyone’s thoughts.
As we continue developing the PlayPoker software, I’m considering adding a feature that would allow admins or moderators to chat ban individual players.
A chat ban would prevent a player from sending messages in the lobby or table chat while still allowing them to play normally. This could be useful for dealing with spam, excessive trash talk, harassment, or players who repeatedly violate chat rules without needing to remove them from the game entirely.
I’m curious what everyone thinks...
To celebrate PCF hitting 20,000 posts, let’s do a giveaway for our home game next Friday, August 14th!
I’ll submit the list to StockPoker 24 hours before our Pineapple game. If the post is still unlocked, the giveaway will remain open until then.
I’ll also send a PM reminder 24 hours before the game if you received the $2.20 in your account for the game.

Winning a million-dollar payday at the WSOP sounds like a dream come true, but for one 2026 Main Event finalist, the tax bill took an enormous bite out of his winnings.
The nine finalists of this year's WSOP Main Event collectively won $30.25 million, but according to an analysis by poker player and federally licensed tax professional Russell Fox, more than $12.2 million will go to tax authorities.
The biggest hit came for Jamie Shaevel, who finished seventh for $1.5 million. Fox estimates...
High-stakes poker superstar Jason Koon has officially been named the sole inductee into the 2026 Poker Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. With more than $77 million in live tournament earnings, two WSOP bracelets, and a reputation as one of poker's most respected ambassadors, many believe his induction was inevitable.
Despite changes to the Hall of Fame voting process this year, Koon ended up being the only player inducted into the 2026 class.

The World Series of Poker has changed course and announced that the shot clock will not be used at the 2026 WSOP Main Event final table.
The decision comes after tournament officials introduced shot clocks late in the Main Event for the first time in the tournament's history. The change was made following lengthy tanking incidents deep in the event, with the goal of keeping the action moving and improving the viewing experience.
However, after discussions with players and tournament staff...

Would a user marketplace be a valuable addition to PCF?
Some ideas could include members selling poker-related items, trading poker gear, or even safely buying/selling online poker funds between trusted community members.
Would you use a marketplace feature on PCF, or do you think it would create more issues than benefits? What rules or safeguards would you want to see?
