The game of poker is constantly changing. There are new rules introduced for tournaments, the mixed game crowd comes up with new variations, and online poker sites try to mix things up with new reward programs and loyalty schemes.
On the surface, this sounds great. After all, innovation is always good. It drives positive changes, brings more people to the table, and keeps things from going stale, right?
While it’s hard to argue with that general sentiment, sometimes, too much innovation can be confusing and leave a large part of the community feeling overwhelmed. And that’s not the feeling you want to associate with something you observe as a fun hobby, which poker is for many people.
