Follow-up: PokerStars Home Games concept

February 20, 2011

PokerStars also keeps track of winnings, so you’ll have a leaderboard within the Home Games club also, making it easier to find out who has bragging rights till next tournament…

But that doesn’t mean I can’t photograph Valentines-related stuff, such as these balloons which I caught on the … Read more →
