I started playing here a few years ago, and after trying many different sites I find this is more life-like than the others, with all types of poker games and levels.

Software is easy to use.  Money is easy to move in and out of.

    DeiYuo's Comments on Poker StarsDeiYuo's Note:
    The best site in my opinion for tournaments. Cash games are just not as profitable as other sites. You have to be extremely selective when picking "juicy" cash games. In addition you can not get rakeback or a large bonus. If you are a tournament junky/pro this is the site to play on.

    1. Inability to change avatar more than onece.
    2. Multiple table movements sometimes causing you to pay back-to-back blinds.
    3. Automatic sit-out enabled if fail to act in 10 seconds even though the run-down clock says you have more time.
    4. Unlikely way cards are dealt - for example I once got the EXACT same 2 cards 4 hands in a row - doesn't happen in real life.
    5. Little Rewards - have to spend 1. for each point earned and a t-shirt cost 600 who can afford a 600 dollar t-shirt?
    6. Lack of enforcement when it comes to collusion or same person entering same tournament multiple times.
    7. Non-English chat taking place at tables when rules clearly state English Only.
    8. The extended registration on almost all MTTs now - wasn't like this before.
    9. Interference with sites such as SharkScope etc.
    10. Unusual disconnects and hang-ups especially at critical times.
    submitted by "1st-Degree12" February 4, 2010
    Wide variety of tournaments at all times.
