The World's newest Poker software, Poker 5, was released with high anticipation across the Ongame Network in mid June. Understandably, change can be hard for some deeply rooted, loyal P4 players. The new P5 poker software engine includes all the anticipated upgrades you were looking for, such as: resizable tables, picking seats from the lobby, tournament information lobby, and new Sit and Go queues. Best of all, the P5 software has been designed to be in a constant state of upgrade; meaning new features and updates will come as quickly as Ongame can send them down the pipe.

You can enjoy these exciting new features and functions:
1. Cash game preview with direct seating
- Preview tables from the Lobby.
- Conveniently browse the tables of your choice.
- Select your seat and join the game directly.

2. New tournament lobby
- View and gather 'up to the minute' tournament information.
- Check prize structures, ranking lists, add-on and re-buy details, blind levels.
- Enjoy real-time table preview.
- All new ante tournaments will spice up P5. This new format commits all players to the pot before the flop, whether you decide to play in the hand or not. This new format makes for some very exciting and efficient tournaments.

3. Resizable game tables
- Resize your tables for Texas Hold'Em.
- Get ready for awesome Multi-Tabling or Sit&Go experience.

4. Flexible content panel
- Get more information while at the tables.
- New content panels feature realistic board action, game information, and chat.

5. Personal filters for all games
- Apply your own filters to easily manage your preferred game tables.

6. Enhanced graphics and animations
- Enjoy new enhanced table layout together with sophisticated animation.
- Realistic dealing of cards, moving of chips and physical representation of a sidebet during play.

7. P5 poker software also mac compatible
- Fully compatible Mac download with greater usability and greater feature set. Apple lovers no longer need the Java Client as long as you're running Mac OS X 10.4 or higher, you'll enjoy very similar features that the Windows download version offers.

8. Player notes
- Note takers celebrate! From the lobby table preview, you're able to see players seated at the tables and any notes you may have left! If there's a player you've previously noted on before - and they're playing at a table you're previewing - you can read the notes before you pick your seat. Right from the lobby!

9. Game settings
- Saved, changed and apply your personal filter settings at anytime. With the new P5 software, any changes you make to your Settings take effect instantly! 4-coloured suits, avatars, and more are all changeable on the fly! Find the Settings option right beside your username in the Top Right corner of the lobby.

10. Visualized Side Pots
- Keep your eye on the prize! No more guessing when you have a side pot situation. P5 will now separate the pots to show you exactly what's coming to you!

+1. Sit and Go Queues
- Not the same old wait. Instead of searching for the number of occupied seats to get a quick game going, you're only going to find one type of each Sit'n'Go game at every buy-in level. Reason? Quicker games! Once a particular game is full (i.e. '$1 Double or Nothing') that game starts and another $1 Double or Nothing opens for registration. Now that's efficiency.
