PokerStars Action
You won’t find anywhere with more action than PokerStars. They have easily the highest player traffic, providing online poker for thousands upon thousands of people every day. PokerStars has an average of over 90,000 players, meaning that for all but the highest stakes and the most obscure games you’re sure to find a table. Great software and a renowned VIP program have helped accentuate their triumph, pushing them ahead of rival companies.
They are also well known as the home of WSOP Champions. Former World Series Main Event winners such as Chris Moneymaker, Tom McEvoy, Joe Hachem, Greg Raymer, and Peter Eastgate all make their home at PokerStars. There are plenty of other notable players in Team PokerStars Pro. Former November Niners Ivan Demidov and Dennis Phillips join luminaries such as Humberto Brenes, Daniel Negreanu, and Barry Greenstein on the squad.
Fish
The players at PokerStars tend to be fairly tight, in contrast with many other sites. That said, with such a huge number of players online at any one time it’s possible to find every type of player somewhere amid the melee. The tightness of lower limit players can be hard to adjust to, but after a little practice it’s relatively easy to alter your style and take advantage of your opponents. The overall quality of online poker players has improved in recent years and nowhere more so than at PokerStars. The standard of play is relatively high all the way through the stakes, although good players will still be able to grind out a profit.
