Pokerstars Bonus Code Review

Traffic

As the world’s largest poker site, there’s little doubt that at any given point in time, Poker Stars probably has the highest traffic. The latest numbers suggest around 22,500 players at the cash ring game tables and some 150,000 players at the tournament tables during peak hours. PokerStars no longer accepts players from the US.

Competition

Although Poker Stars used to have a reputation of having some of the fiercest sharks patrolling its waters, now that it has grown into such a behemoth of online poker rooms, schools of little fish have swum in, balancing out the toughness of players at all levels. Nowadays, even as big a poker site as it may be, the level of competition at PokerStars remains around the average for most poker sites, although it remains steadily the toughest at the highest stakes and limits, both in tournaments and cash ring games.

Freerolls

Poker Stars is constantly running freerolls, some with cash prizes and some being qualifiers into larger satellites awarding seats in major online and land-based poker tournaments.

Tournaments

Poker Stars has a full schedule running 24/7/365 of scheduled tournaments and Sit ‘n Go tournaments alike (including Double or Nothing Sit & Gos and STEPS Sit & Gos), at all limits and table stakes. They have single table and multi-table shootout tournaments. They have guaranteed tournaments and satellites into larger land-based and online tournaments. They also have rebuy tournaments, Deep Stacks, 6-Max and 4-Max, Turbo and 2X-Turbo tournaments. A convenient color scheme helps you keep it all straight, and most easily identify where and when the tournaments you’re looking for are being held. PokerStars runs several regular promotional online tournaments of its own, such as the Spring Championship of Online Poker. Among some of PokerStars most coveted regular promotions is the Sunday Million, a Guaranteed tournament with a minimum $1 million prize pool, each and every weekend. PokerStars is also constantly running satellite tournaments to some larger land-based tournaments or other, including World Poker Tour events around the world, the annul PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and, of course, events (including the main event) in every year’s World Series of Poker.

Software

PokerStars offers games in Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7-Card Stud, 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo, 5-Card Draw, 2-7 Triple Draw, 2-7 Single Draw, HORSE, Razz, 8-Game Mix, and Badugi. They have Limit ring games and both scheduled and Sit & Go tournaments in all of these, while they only have Pot Limit tournaments in Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 5-Card Draw, and 2-7 Triple Draw (with No Limit tournaments in all the same, except for Omaha Hi). The PokerStars software is among the most stable, secure, smooth, and reliable out there, in no small part because of a prolonged period of beta-testing to ensure identification and removal of all bugs. It’s strong enough to handle PokerStars’ enormous simultaneous player pool without slowing down game play one bit. The software provides players with a comprehensive selection of player stats, such as pots won with and without showdown, and number of flops seen by position. Lobby stats are the standard 3 (average pot size, hands-per-hour, and players-per-flop).
