Player volume-wise, PokerStars is currently the biggest online poker operation on earth. With tens and even hundreds of thousands of players at its tables, PokerStars gets good traffic on all limits and on all poker variants. If you want to play games like 5-Card Draw or Badugi PokerStars is the place for you. The fact that it accepts US players and that there are literally tens of thousands of players on all its limits, guarantees that you’ll find fish and loose games somewhere. Low to middle stakes are particularly juicy, however, higher stakes where the pros roam are much tighter.
PokerStars has some of the biggest and best known promotions in the world. Sure, the on-site promotions are nice too, but it sponsors a plethora of live poker events all over the world too. if you’re looking to make yourself a name on the live circuit, PokerStars is your online poker room. There are more live packages on offer here than anywhere else.

The professional team that PokerStars has includes names like Greg Raymer and Daniel Negreanu. Although they don’t make headlines as often as Full Tilt’s pros do, these guys represent their brand at pretty much all the live events sponsored by the site, which is quite a feat in itself.

The sign-up bonus offered by PokerStars is a 100% match on players’ first deposits up to a $600. While this bonus seems quite industry standard now, not so long ago PokerStars was much less generous bonus-wise.
