Power Player Features and Commands

Prizes

Everyone at Triplejack is eligible to win prizes, but some of the biggest and best prizes require you to be a Power Player. Upgrade to a Power Player to be eligible for all prizes. See the Prize FAQ for more prize info.

Play Style

Play Style feature gives you insight to how your opponents play.

Friends List

Friends List feature enables you to keep track of your friends, see when they are logged in and where they are playing.

Yelling

There are 3 different types of Yell Commands.

More Bombs

After winning a hand, you earn a “bomb” which can be dropped on any player sitting at the table. Power Players will earn 3 bombs per hand won. Bombs are dropped by typing /[bomb name] [player] [number of bombs] into the chat field. For example, to drop a bucket of toxic slime on “MegaBettor”, type /slime megab. Notice that I didn't have to type the player's full name (partial matches work), and specifying 1 bomb isn't necessary. Power Players can use the VIEW tab then bombs and things while in a room to select bombs, choose the bomb then click and drag the bomb to the dealer or your selected player. On the bottom of the bomb interface, you can also select the number of things you want to drop by first selecting x1, x2, or x3.

Medals

By playing well, and achieving certain goals, you can earn Medals that appear next to your player's avatar.

Profiles

Every player gets a 'profile' where they can tell a little bit about themselves. Power Players get even more profile options including pictures and more options for adding things to their profiles. Power Players can even display their profile pictures as flags behind their avatar.

Emoting (3rd person chat)

You can chat an “action” by typing /me followed by the rest of the sentence. The ”/me” portion will be replaced by your player name. For example, ”/me is going to win the next hand” translates to “ZenBlender is going to win the next hand.”

Private Lounges

Powerplayers can create their own Private Lounge, where you can invite your friends to play. Go to ‘My Account’ and click the ‘Your Private Lounge’ link.

Rules for Private Lounges:

As there are no regular players popping in from TJ in these private lounges, swearing is permitted, within reason, as the people in these rooms are normally all friends or work colleagues etc.

Being overly offensive to each other is still NOT acceptable. Calling each other ‘names’ IS acceptable as long as it does not offend. Hurting someone’s feelings is NOT fun.

Sexual chat of any kind is NOT permitted.

Sidebet cheating and chip transferring is NOT permitted

If you invite your children into these lounges then all TJ rules will apply, whilst they are in the room.

Admins & Helpers have the right to check these rooms and uphold the private lounge rules as necessary.
