As one of the most easily recognisable names in the online poker industry, PokerStars welcomes players of all skill levels and experiences to their site. Anyone that wants a warm welcome and a great range of poker opportunities would be advised to at least see what PokerStars has to offer.
PokerStars Software
When it comes to playing on PokerStars, you will be playing on the PokerStars network, ensuring that this is a unique poker playing experience. Given the size and popularity of the site, this makes perfect sense and it provides PokerStars players with a poker playing style and comfort that is unavailable elsewhere. This is the largest poker network in the world and the software is very highly thought so if you are looking for a place to play poker, this is likely to be as good as anywhere else you can gain access to! While the poker network is one of the oldest online, the software has always remained up to date.
There is no browser play option but with mobile, PC and Mac options, you should find that there is plenty of poker options available with this software.
Features
As you would expect from such a large site, there is an impressive array of features on the PokerStars site. You can customise the theme of the site, the tables and even how your own character looks. Whether you want to play as your family pet or a famous actor, the choice is yours!
With respect to statistics, Poker Stars is able to provide a great deal of information that will help people to make the most of their time. There is an opportunity to view opponents statistics, your own hand history, notes about opponents and so much more. If you have the time to carry out the research, the PokerStars site will give you everything you could want or need to know about your style of play or your potential opponents.
Setting up home games is one of the strongest features available on the PokerStars site and it really helps to bring friends together. If you used to play poker with your friends but find it is hard to find the time and place these days, arrange a time you can all get online and let PokerStars take care of the rest. This is an ideal opportunity for friends to ensure that they get the pleasure of taking on and beating their friends at poker!
Another great feature is the BOOM! Hand replayer that allows you the chance to upload your favourite poker plays online and share them with your social networking following.
When it comes to playing against the pros, this is something that comes very easy at PokerStars and the software points out the members of Team PokerStars Pro, giving you the chance to take on the big name stars or leave them be.
Download PokerStars
With download options for PC and Mac users, everyone can join in the fun when it comes to PokerStars. The size of the download is 12.4MB so make sure that you have this available before you download!
PokerStars Mobile
PokerStars iPad
There is a mobile option for PokerStars, with Android and iOS users catered for, but before you concern yourself with that, you should follow the link to sign up. In order to gain access to the poker games through your smartphone or tablet device, you need to have your account set-up so get that fixed first and then look forward to having plenty of mobile poker fun.
If you are playing on the move you will often have no time to waste so the “Play Now” button which grants you access to poker games with one click can be of great benefit.
You can use the web cashier to deposit and withdraw funds while on the go, giving PokerStars a more mobile poker feel than many of the main contenders in the poker industry. With plenty of real money games and tournaments on offer from the site, you should be delighted with what PokerStars has to offer their mobile gamers.
Games
You can’t argue about the range of poker games that the PokerStars site provides for poker players. While some poker sites focus purely on Texas Hold Em and Omaha, Poker Stars goes further. On the site you will find the aforementioned Hold Em and Omaha options but also Omaha Hi-Lo, Stud, Stud Hi-Lo, Draw 2-7, Triple Draw 2-7, Single Draw, HORSE, Razz, 8 Game Mix and even Badugi. When it comes to finding the widest selection of poker disciplines, you should be able to enjoy what PokerStars has to offer.
