    Writeup

    PokerStars is the largest online poker room in the world, offering players an almost endless amount of small and large tournaments and cash games at low and high limits.

    There is never a shortage of games at PokerStars at any limit you wish to play. This is thanks in large part to television commercials and large base of sponsored pros. They also spread a wide range of games from common games like Hold'em and Omaha to Mixed games and Badugi.

    The quality of players at PokerStars is above average. If you stay in low limit games you will find a large amount of weak players, however a large amount of players mostly from the US make their living on PokerStars so games at $1/$2 and up are typically tough.

    PokerStars doesn't have the best bonus system in place as it takes many hours to reach a high VIP level. However all players can earn frequent player points which they can use on tournament tickets or on goods in the PokerStars store.
