    Default Personal PS testimony

    Ok I've read the review... but I want to hear some personal claims about PokerStars. I am NOT a big fan of downloading a bunch of rooms, however this 5$ HORSE game might just be enough to sucker my ass back in. I played PW years ago when I first got suckered into OL Poker.

    So let me hear it... and just in case you don't know I don't wanna hear your shit about "it being rigged or not" THANKS.

    Default just to add

    hi Stix

    I guess I could add more of my personal view to what I've put in the reviews - I try to be subjective in them as I know alot of people "wouldn't play anywhere else" or "they hate it etc" so I try to see the good and bad from other players POV's as much as my own

    IMHO the big + factor of pokerstars is the size - therefore most tournaments, most satellites, biggest games, most cash games ...

    you get the idea - they're the biggest (and open to US)

    IMHO some of the downsides are very much more a personal thing - I dont rave about the software ... it works well but looks dull and buttons etc for me personally I prefer elsewhere (eg. carbon) also the bonus isnt the biggest at 100% up to $50 but its easier to clear than some of the other sites

    In terms of HORSE poker games then there are two front runners - pokerstars and full tilt poker ... other sites have horse but not at such a volume

    I would say the games are generally tighter at the mid / higher limits (still pretty loose at micro etc as per everywhere) but if you looking for easy cash at middle limits there are other smaller sites that will do that for you without the game choice volume

    hope thats a help

    mmmm I have a love/hate relationship with Pokerstars.

    Good things

    1. Always a big money game going
    2. Lots of bad players giving away their money (see Bad things)
    3. Good selection of game types and levels always with people there to play
    4. Always found customer support to be good
    5. Cash outs instant to Moneybookers.


    Bad Things

    1. Lots of bad players sucking out and taking your money.
    2. Not many good deposit and reload bonuses
    3. Tournaments have huge fields to work through often 15,000 to 30,000 in the game.
    4. Big tournaments take 8 - 10 hours to get to the final table.
    5. Low limits very frustrating as it's like playing a freeroll.

    Overall I play Pokerstars on and off a fair bit, I have won some decent money there. On first look the software looks dated but you can change the skin and improve the look. The software works well as you would expect from the biggest poker room on the net.

    Cash out is the best I have seen, I request the money and it's in my Moneybookers account instantly. The range of games is the best there is for all buy in levels.

    You hear a lot of comments about "riverstars" and yes I've taken some horrible suckouts on there but no worse than anywhere else. My opinion PS is a good site if you want big (and I mean) big games.

    Hope some of that helps

    I would say it's like playing at Full Tilt Stix. The 2 sites have the biggest amount of people to play any game you want to play

    Default forgot the other table options

    hi

    forgot - meant to mention the alternative table options for pokerstars - I did have a look a while ago as you can get "better looking" race track shape with less "faded grandure western cowboy" look

    same way as you can change fulltilt - I have the no avatar no background on fulltilt as the nosebleed busy default graphic would give me a seizure

    guess I should get round to changing my stars settings but I dont play there much now

    Stix, everyone else has covered game play, traffic etc... so here is my 2cents.
    I see your from the Virginia. Pstars has easy deposit for the USA via E-Checks
    which you can also make withdraws thru E-Checks.
    The customer support is prompt and willing to help in any way and is always courteous. Top notch in my book.

    Obviously the biggest site on the net, no problem anytime of day getting any game you want at any level you want. I like the graphics since changing to the black skin.
    I will only ever play private games there as their payout structure stretches too far and you can end up playing for 3 hrs plus, for little better than your buyin back. I would advise against limit cash tables there as the fish are 4 to a table and one of them will suck out on you as many think they are playing chase the ace,,,,or worse.

    Yah - what everyone said above.
    Glad to see a reference to Moneybookers from NB1961 regarding cashouts since I am looking into it. Will be playing more on this site since it is one of a few (more than 2) sites which provide a downloadable native version of their software for the MAC.

    A mistake made in the past is not as important as the lesson learned from it.
