Poker Stars

**JohnAnthony** · 01-11-10, 10:43 AM

Best support ever.
No rakeback (though they take the lowest rake %)
Ideal for micro-stakes (0.04 through 0.25)
lots of tournies
lots of fish, especially at the micro stakes.

Thanks for the info JA

**JohnAnthony** · 01-11-10, 10:48 AM

yeah good luck Sam.

**1st and Ten** · 01-11-10, 11:36 AM

I would lean towards JohnAnthony's opinion but I like Fulltilt and their software

**Reload** · 01-11-10, 11:39 AM

Have always liked it there. Lots of tables and players. Good point system also.

**TWEETS** · 01-11-10, 11:43 AM

HAvent played there in ages, was thinking about playing some online poker again the other day.

How do you get money into PokerStars now, Netteller was still around last time i deposited.

**stevek173** · 01-11-10, 12:12 PM

Western Union or a Credit Card, alot of Credit Cards don't work for USA players so many people use prepaid ones, etc.

**MJT1212** · 01-11-10, 12:13 PM

Many easy methods each way

great site to play small.

**icancount2one** · 01-15-10, 02:27 AM

Rakeback at FTP is better if you are a low-limit, recreational player. If you are a high volume player, pokerstars' Supernova kicks the crap out of everything. Another upside of stars is even if your computer sucks you can run a ridiculous amount of tables, and support/cashouts as others have mentioned is much much better than full tilt.

Also, FTP is going to increase the minimum buy in at NLHE tables, so if shortstackers annoy you and you play cash, that's a factor. Pokerstars' tourneys/SNGs are way looser if you're a tourney player.

poker stars is down now, you can log in, but cant join a game.

**will2survive** · 01-15-10, 09:03 AM

great place--lots of player-- an occassional 80k satellite freeroll--(is full within seconds)

**cadillac pete** · 01-15-10, 09:11 AM

I usually play in the 1/2 NL games and for some reason get the feeling I'm play against quite a few bots.

**aguy** · 01-15-10, 10:06 AM

they have good customer support. solid poker site.

**Jacey** · 01-15-10, 10:07 AM

LOTS of tourneys. I just deposited last week to take advantage of a reload bonus, was able to do it from my checking account

**Jacey** · 01-15-10, 10:08 AM

One bad thing about Stars though is that bonuses aren't plentiful since they're so popular. But you can get all sorts of games, I like playing Stud hi/lo and can usually find plenty of games at the lower limits

**andrew5** · 01-15-10, 10:33 AM

the sng double or nothing you can't lose easy money

**Davydave** · 01-15-10, 10:39 AM

Pokerstars has a pretty quick payout too.

**INVEGA MAN** · 01-15-10, 10:43 AM

Great site

I would say that's impossible. You just can't program a bot for those stakes.

I've played with some chinese players that only move all in preflop with 20 bbs, those could very well be bots. Don't know.

Do you ever notice they buy in for $40..constantly fold, fold , fold. Then Boom! All-in with $9 in the pot.

Also, when their blinds pass, instead of being $3 less than the $40 they bought in for, as soon as their button hits they are back to $40. Like that. It's just weird and the vibe I get playing with some.

**dbldown** · 01-15-10, 05:00 PM

They had a good rewards program last time I played there. It's been a couple of years, but I have a bunch of stuff I never use 8 shirts, 2 hats, and a few decks of cards. I guess the best part was I was able to get my money out of them without any hassles.

**Glitch** · 01-15-10, 09:13 PM

more action than anywhere around.
if youre waiting to cash out, you an ask them to make your money unavailable so you dont inpulsively gamble it away.
warning: it seems like the person to push it all in gets lucky way more than the person who calls them all in on pokerstars.

**tltaylor89** · 01-15-10, 09:17 PM

Im deep in a 2k tourney now

**beach nut** · 01-15-10, 09:19 PM

The largest selection of cash games and tournaments online.

Fast and reliable cash outs.

**neville sinclair** · 01-17-10, 12:28 AM

Great place to play. Very good customer service.

**eberetta1** · 01-17-10, 12:46 AM

i like pokerstars alot. ive been at some sites and no ring games are being played at omaha hi/lo my fav. so if it is 2 in the morning , i know there will always be a game at pokerstars. try doing that at bodog. i have waited half an hour to get a person to play at bodog heads up, and the software had no button to back out from playing. so i did not want to lose out on my 2 bucks, so had to sit there like an idiot at bodog for half an hour until someone joined. by then i was very angry and went all in 3 hands in a row, just to get off the bodog site that night.
got paid by pokerstars less than a month ago and they paid me 200 bucks quickly. not too tough to win a freeroll ticket. lots of times instead of their freerolls giving cash, they give you a ticket if you come in the top 64 or 72. the ticket gets you into a $2000 freeroll on saturday at 10am, which i can't make cause i wake up at 1030 am on an early day. and the ticket is good for sundays at 2pm also.

**flyingillini** · 01-19-10, 08:13 PM

I use Poker Stars and Full Tilt, If I had to use just one I would go with Full Tilt!
