PokerStars.Net Room Review
GamesThe variety of games on offer at Pokerstars is very good with Hi/Lo versions of Omaha available as well as Holdem 7 card stud and 5 card draw and some others. They have micro limit tables with stakes of $0.01/$0.02 that prove popular especially with newer players, but they have stakes of $100/$300 too. Due to the high number of experienced players who use the pokerstars.net site there are not that many novices to be found in the mid range ring games although there are some softer games to be found in the Omaha area, but generally Poker Stars players are pretty good. you're looking at meeting Pro's rather than casual players. The standard of play at Poker Stars is definitely above average compared to many other online poker rooms. TournamentsThe top tournament games online at the moment is their Pokerstars Sunday Millions which has an entry of $200+$15 guaranteeing a million dollars in prize money. Usually there are so many players the actual prize money pool exceeds $1.5 Million. PokerStars.Net also run qualifiers and satellites for a lot of land based events including the WSOP and Aussie Millions. In 2006 three of the nine final table players got there through satellites directly from the www.pokerstars.net website. PokerStars.Net SoftwareThe Software at Pokerstars is very good indeed with some excellent player and game statistics on offer. It comes into its own in the tournament area where there are a number of fantastic features including a time bank that stops the tactical slowing down of play and an overview facility that lets you see your standing in the tournament against every other player. The statistics available to players here are pretty comprehensive and are a great feature. Considering the numbers that play in tournaments on site the software remains stable and runs very quickly and smoothly. Customer support is by email only but it does run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Poker stars prides itself in having some of the best customer support staff in the business and in most instances you can expect a response to your query in minutes rather than hours. PromotionsThe incentives at Poker Star are not the best by any means. Its probably due to the fact PokerStars is so highly rated by its players that player retention is higher than most poker rooms. Infact its actually my favourite poker room online. There is however a 100% sign up bonus to a value of $50 along with a daily $100, and $500 freeroll. They also have a good Frequent Player Points program which lets you accumulate points to use for a wide range of purchases including entry fees to bigger poker tournaments as well as clothing and other merchandise exclusive to the Poker Stars website. SummaryPoker Stars offers a good poker playing experience on some of the best poker software available and along with plenty of prize money on offer. PokerStars.Net is a class website with classy players maybe one for the inexperienced player to avoid. But if you like your poker with a bit of competition then this is deffinitly the place for you.  www.pokerstars.net |
