There are certain features in the software that are especially implemented to help tournaments run smoothly. For example tournament tables are always balanced. The tournament lobby shows all necesary information to evaluate our position in a tournament.

PokerStars was the first poker room to implement the note taking facility and the statistics of play. There are the usual useful information in the lobby, for example the hands played per hour, the flop view percentage and the avarage pot.

The game variety is good on PokerStars, they are leaders in heads-up games, and it is safe to say that most games are played here at the highest volume.

This is true for Omaha High, Omaha High/Low, and Seven Card Stud. Omaha High/Low, HORSE and Razz are all available in no-limit version.

PokerStars was the first to offer micro limit tables, and it started the internet poker revolution with this idea. First it offered $0.01/$0.02 Omaha High and Hold’em tables. PokerStars doesn’t take rake at these micro limit tables!

The Hold'em tournament tables are 9-handed in the no-limit, and pot-limit Hold'em, as well as the cash tables. The limit tables are 10-handed.

Cash games at higher stakes are pretty tough, the flop view percentage is quite low, which means the game is tighter at PokerStars than at other poker rooms. The good thing on the other hand is that there are always a lot of games going on in every game and at every take. The games are tight, but  you can play a profitable game if you know how to win on tight tables.

At the 9-seat, minimum $1/$2 no-limit Hold’em tables the flop view percentage is between 20-30%. There are loose Omaha tables, where the flop view percentage is over 40-50%, sometimes it even gets above 60% (on $1/$2 tables and higher). Because of the continuous feed of new players, and the good game variety, cash games  are becoming looser and looser.

The level of players at tournaments is usually weaker and you find a competition of mixed abilites. Of course mostly the better players enter the high stakes Sit’N’Gos, and the bigger tournaments. Some less qualified players also enter these events, because PokerStars is the leader in tournaments, and this  attracts a lot of new tournament players.

All in all, the player level at the cash game tables is higher than average, but on the tournaments it is usually weaker.

PokerStars is the most popular poker room on the internet. At peak time there are more than 200,000 players online.

From the very beginning the PokerStars has been very famous for its tournaments, but today they offer nearly any kind of game and the cash games are popular as well.
