888poker Brings Back High-Stakes Cash Games with New Limits and Lower Rake

The Return of High-Stakes Cash Games

For a long time, $5/$10 No-Limit Hold’em was as high as the stakes went on 888poker. That all changed this week with the introduction of $10/$20 and $25/$50 tables. The $10/$20 games come with a minimum buy-in of $400 and a maximum of $2,000. Meanwhile, the $25/$50 tables set the buy-ins at $1,000 and $5,000. What these additions mean is pretty straightforward: bigger games, bigger pots, and a broader options for players searching for a solid higher-stakes battles.

Of course, the reintroduction of high stakes games raises the somewhat natural question of rake. As it turns out, 888poker has put a hard cap of $5 per hand on all high-stakes No-Limit Hold’em or Push and Fold cash games on the platform.

888poker has also revamped and re-ramped its Push or Fold format. In Push or Fold, players start with five big blinds and must either shove all-in or fold before the flop, simplifying the decision-making and focusing the game on high-pressure moments. With this update, the fast-paced variation features stakes of $10/$20, $25/$50, $50/$100, and $100/$200, meaning an even broader spectrum of games.
