General – Poker Stars is one of the biggest online poker rooms, it became huge especially after most of the big poker rooms (Party Poker, Pacific Poker, etc.) stopped accepting players from the U.S. There are many players at Poker Stars in every game (Texas Holdem, Omaha, 7 stud, etc.) in any structure (Limit, No limit, Pot limit, cash game or a tournament) and every stake almost any time of the day. The tournament players seemed to be better than the cash game and with a solid tight aggressive style you can make a lot of money playing the medium stakes no limit tables. The free money tables are full any time, a fact that makes it one of the best online poker rooms for beginners.

Software – Poker Stars software is good, nicely designed and reliable.

Bonuses and Promotions – Poker Stars has the best freerolls Holdem tournaments, you can win a seat for big tournaments (online and live). Poker Stars offers 100% bonus up to $50 on your first deposit. You have to collect ‘poker points’ equal to 10 times the bonus amount.

Legal – Poker Stars accepts players from the U.S.
