Overall

Poker Stars is not only one of the World's top leaders in online Poker Tournaments, but also in ring game traffic. They can boast some very high numbers for both, with 4500-5500 real money ring game players and 20000-23000 tournament players during peak hours. Nothing to sneeze at! You'll find a very hefty program of fixed schedule and sit-and-go tourneys with many high stakes games to entice all you tournament fans. This means that the quality of players at pokerstars.com are usually very good with some real pros sitting in. Customer support is very good, regardless of the lack of live or telephone support and the software is extremely advanced. Overall Poker Stars is an excellent online poker room that is run by professionals for professionals, where even the beginner player is welcome.

Card Game Choices

The card game variety at Poker Stars is quite good, with both Hi-Lo versions in Omaha (also no-limit) and 7-card stud. They are leaders in not only new software implements, but also micro-limit tables (as low as $0.01$0.02) for Texas Holdem and Omaha Hi. So you'll find a variety of games here for sure, but Texas Hold'em is always boss!

Gameplay

Poker Stars offers an impressive array of tables stakes, from $0.01$0.02 on up to $100$200. They even started the micro-limit table trend. The software enables very fast and easy play, with some great functions that ensure a pleasurable time for all. Try the FREE download to view the games and play a few hands of FREE POKER to get the feel of the site.

Soft Competition

Poker Stars is not going to have a lot of newbies running around their ring games due to the high level of play. In fact, the view flop percentages are definitely lower than the average around the mid-20's and low 30's. You can find some more wild and loose games in the Omaha arena where the view flops percentages get up in the 40's and 50's, but generally you are dealing with pros here. Ironically, tournaments offer the most varying level of players since Poker Stars attracts so many of them and you'll find they run the gamut of expertise. Makes the tourneys a bit more fun!

Deposit/Withdrawal

Deposits are easily made into your Poker Stars account by either NETeller, FirePay, CentralCoin or Visa and MasterCard. Withdrawals go back to the original form of payment, except for Visa or MasterCard due to new regulations by these credit establishments. All transactions are safe and secure... so now worries!

Interface

You will be using some very fine software at Poker Stars, with some cutting edge functionality... especially in the tournament area! From uploading your own profile picture, taking extended notes on other players, to the excellent game and player statistics... you'll find high tech software with ease of playability. Very cool stuff. The tournament area is where they really show off the goods (no wonder why they are a top leader) with such amazing features as a time bank that prevents tactical slowing down of the tempo, end of tourney safeguards against tables waiting out the last no-pay 'bubble' placements, and a fantastic overview so each player knows his or her stand in the tournament against all other players.

Rake

Poker Stars offers an average industry rake, with a no-flop no-drop policy that is becoming the standard. Rakes do not exdceed $3 at any table, starting at 5% of the pot for the micro-stakes games and $0.25 or $0.50 for all others.

Incentives

One area that Poker Stars could beef up is in the promotions. With that said, they do have an outstanding frequent player reward scheme (called FPP) where you earn points for every raked game played (including tourneys!).You save up points to use as either cash to play, tournement entries or prizes. Also they have some frequent deposit bonuses. Sometimes you don't need a lot of glitz and glammer to get players there, and keep them.

Tournaments

Here's where the heavy action resides at Poker Stars, with top numbers for tournaments (20000-23000 players!) during peak hours, which is considerable since there is some heavy action coming in from Europe. They host all the majors and boast the traffic to provide some very interesting games. Also, their software seems to be especially built for the tournament arena with some very high tech functions to make the tournaments run smoother and fair for each player.

Support

Poker Stars may not have telephone or chat support, but I must say they answer their email support quite fast. Within an hour you can expect to have your most burning questions answered, which is definitely above standard response times.
