Poker Stars Review

Pokerstars.com was established in 2000 and is with its office located in the Isle of Man. The site has continued to grow at an impressive rate with over 100,000 players at the tables. Known as the best tournament poker site, Poker Stars is home to former WSOP Champions Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer, Joe Hachem as well as other notable pros such as Daniel Negreanu.

The site runs off its own poker network with custom software that features clean graphics and straightforward navigation. Game play on Poker Stars is speedy and stable with very little downtime for maintenance. Perhaps the best feature of the software is the re-sizable tables which easily allow players to participate in up to 8 ring games at one time. Overall, the software platform is very reliable and a favorite among players.

Game selections at PokerStars include NL Texas Holdem, Limit Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi Lo and H.O.R.S.E. Table game limits range from $.01/$.02 all the way up to $200/$400 with sit and go tournaments ranging from $2.20 to $2190.

Player competition at Poker Stars varies greatly depending on which limit you play, however in general players on the site are decent. Keep in mind this is the largest poker room online so there is a lot of different skill levels. Generally speaking, games up to the $1/$2 limit/no-limit level are usually not that difficult, with limits above that having considerably more experienced players. Your best bet for finding weak players is at the mid level limit tables and medium buy in sit and go's. Although competition is present we still recommend Pokerstars.com for new players because it is a great place to learn the ropes of online poker and they offer some awesome promotions.

Some of the best promotions at the site are qualifiers to their land based tournaments such as the famous PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. They also offer many other qualifiers starting from $1 to big events like the WSOP, WPT and EPT.

Another major benefit to Pokerstars is their loyalty program, which is recognized by many as the best of any poker room. Players are awarded FPP's (frequent player points) when they play at ring games and tournaments and can trade these in for things from merchandise to cash, tournament entries and even a Porsche (yes, someone has gotten this many points).

Overall we highly recommend Pokerstars.com based on its great software, player support, promotions and loyalty program. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to get in touch and contact us.
