Poker Stars Review |
| |
Poker Stars is by far the largest poker room in the world. With more than 200,000 online players at peak hours, it is no wonder that Poker Stars offers the biggest tournaments in the poker industry. Their first deposit bonus was recently increased to $600 since the old bonus of $50 was small compared to other rooms. They also have other fantastic promotions that make them the best choice for any poker player. |
| |
The cash games at Poker Stars cover the widest range of stakes. They have micro tables with blinds as low as 2 cents for No Limit and 4 cents for Limit games. On the other side, you can easily find active tables at $50/$100 Limit tables and $25/$50 No Limit. The high stakes tables may go up to $1,000/$2,000 at Limit Holdem. |
