BOOM! Hand Replayer launches

Poker’s ties with social media got even tighter this week thanks to PokerStars’ new BOOM! Hand Replayer which gives players the chance to share their greatest, and most brutal, hands through Twitter and other sites.

Instead of wasting precious Twitter characters spelling out your bad beats or suckouts, PokerStars users can now tweet their hands directly from tables just by clicking the new red BOOM! Button.

First players will need to click on the star located beside the table chat box. Then open an instant hand history via the hand ID # located in the top left corner of the screen, highlight the hand chosen, then hit the BOOM! Button. Players will then be able to choose which site they want to send the video too.

Players can also visit BoomPlayer.com to vote on other players’ hands, watch hands from Team PokerStars Pros and interact with the PokerStars community. But that’s not all. To celebrate the BOOM! launch and the ongoing SCOOP events, PokerStars is also running a promo called the #BOOMAwards with 10 awards of 5,000 FPPs up for grabs.

To win free FPPs, all you have to do is share your hands through BOOM! with a short blurb about why it’s better than all the rest. Use the #BOOMAwards hash tag and PokerStars will choose the best 10, with the winner awarded an extra 5,000 FPPs for the BOOMAward Hand of the Series.

So what are you waiting for? Go out there and tweet!
