Have you heard about MyStack by PokerNews? It is a free-to-use tool built into the PokerNews website that puts you in control of your chip counts on our live reporting pages. MyStack directly connects you to PokerNews' live reporting pages, making you an even bigger part of the action in the events you play.
PokerNews' team of live reporters travels the length and breadth of our incredible planet, bringing you live updates and chip counts from the world's most prestigious poker tournaments. In December 2023 alone, our team is providing coverage of the World Series of Poker Paradise, the PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague, and WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.
Although between them, our reporters know thousands of poker players by sight, it is impossible to know everyone, especially with the scale of some events. It is also a major challenge to keep chip counts up-to-date throughout some massive events, which is where MyStack is in its element.
What Is MyStack?
MyStack is a free poker tool that connects you to the PokerNews live reporting pages. PokerNews activates MyStack for every event it is live reporting from, regardless of that tournament's buy-in. Once you have created a free PokerNews account, you can use MyStack to update your chip counts in real time; hopefully, your stack will continue increasing throughout the event!
How to Use MyStack
Most people will use their smartphone to access MyStack while they are playing in a live event covered by PokerNews. You will be updating your chip count within five easy steps:
- First, head to the PokerNews website, click the "Menu" button, which is the three horizontal lines in the top-right of your screen, and access the profile section.
- Next, log into your PokerNews account – or create one if you need to.
- Select the event you are currently playing by choosing the live event from the drop-down menu. Double-check that it is the correct event if there are multiple tournaments running; you don't want to update your stack in the wrong event!
- Now that you're logged in use the MyStack icon to update your chips whenever you like. Win a big pot? Update your stack. Lose a big pot? Update your stack. You can even bust yourself should the unthinkable happen and you are eliminated from the tournament.
- Head to the chip count tab or the MyStack tab in your poker event to see the trend in your chip stack.
