PokerStars = Best Online Poker Site (Hands Down)
 
[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]I just wanted to start by saying that in all of my years and experience of playing online poker that Stars has been hands down the best online poker site known to man.

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]They have the best software, best customer service, a ton of players, great frequent player program and its always been the easiest and quickest for withdrawing funds.

[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]I felt that I needed to take a moment of my time to say Thank You Stars and give them some of the credit that they deserve!

personally I hate their software, and I hate that I have to play 100k hands to get the same amount of rakeback I can get elsewhere at 0 hands.

Defo best site - lowest rake as well. Never seems to get mentioned.

Stars reps always bring it up. I'd give them more credit if their HU rake weren't absolutely awful. It might be the worst in the industry, since the FPP rakeback equivalent for HU play is insanely low.

Re: PokerStars = Best Online Poker Site (Hands Down)
 
Agreed here. I have tried other sites but always come back to Stars as my primary site. Its not even close in my book.

Thanks Stars!!

yes, because that's all you can get with the FPP you earn.

Most players + seemingly bot-free (not kidding myself...) is a winning combination.

It is for people who play NL50. On other sites I get plenty of nice green dollars, on Stars I get a stressball.

Until recently, I only played NL25 and NL50. I have gotten alot more than stressballs and Moneymaker posters.

Please tell us the whole story. As I recall from playing against you a couple of times, you're not above some fairly abusive trash-talking.

I just checked my Stars balance and haven't received the $25 I was expecting from posting in this thread. What gives?

No kidding. Skip the Big Mac for a couple of weeks and you'll have enough money to buy a lobster dinner.

Pokerstars is a nice site and I recommend it highly for those who want to play a game of poker and also accumulate many player points frequently.

Re: PokerStars = Best Online Poker Site (Hands Down)
 
please note to the haters that i am a 50nl player, and have gotten a 50" plasma (2 1k gift certificates) from stars, having only played there for 8 months from FPPs.

just stop sucking. although i guess that has nothing to do with FPPs.

Agreed and disagreed. There are probably worse players at other sites, but there are SO MANY not good ones at PS. This makes it more profitable, DUCY?

Stars is one of the tougher sites on the internet, but it's still plenty profitable for me.

Their customer service is top notch. When I e-mail them, they reply within the day or by tomorrow.

The only place I play.

I like Stars as much as next man but the ability to datamine at other sites plus decent table selection should make this a mute point.

A "mute" point? I like it that stars takes a little action to prevent dataminers. Now they need to get rid of spadeeye and other programs and I'll be happier.

Since you apparently know the PokerStars CEO, why don't you just ask him to reinstate your chat?
