New games introduced to PokerStars
This is probably the wrong forum to post this in, but since I'm unable to post in the "Online Poker Rooms" section I'll just put it here.

Anyways, looks like Stars will add some new games to their already massive gameselection.

The new games will be Badugi, 8-game, 2-7 Single Draw (Kansas City Lowball), Omaha Hi/Lo Mixed and Hold'em Mixed.

Some of you may be wondering what 8-game is. Well, it's the same thing that was played in the Mixed Event of this years World Series of Poker. The eight games were Pot Limit Omaha, Fixed Hold'em, Razz, Stud, Stud8, No Limit Hold'em, Deuce to Seven Trip. Draw and Fixed Omaha 8.

Looks good, I will deffinetly be playing some Badugi in the future.

Excellent, it's about time. I'll update the Pokerstars Review page with these games later today.

When I first heard about this over on the internet I e-mailed Stars to ask them, if the rumors about them adding new games was true. They responded that it was true, and that they would be adding these new games in the near future, but that they hadn't yet decided on what/how many limits they would have for each game.

Pokerstars also has a client called TestPokerStars. It's a site where they test new updats before adding them to the main client. If you download it you're able to play Badugi there, but not yet for real money seeing as it's only a test client.

This picture is taken from TestPokerStars.com. Can't wait until they add the new games to the main client.
