Limits and Rake

PokerStars has a large selection of limit levels that are sure to appeal to everyone, from the beginner to the experienced high stakes player. PokerStars fixed limit Hold'em cash games begin with micro limits of $0.02/$0.04 up to $1000/$2000. PokerStars offers just about any game a player could be looking for including free play tables to practice on. Aside from the usual Hold’em and Omaha to Stud variations such as Razz and 7 Card Stud High and High-Low split, the harder to find poker games can also be found including: H.O.R.S.E., H.O.S.E, 5 Card Draw, and 2-7 Triple Draw.

The rake system at PokerStars is one of the lowest in the industry with the average taken being 5% of the pot up to a maximum of $3. The maximum rake ever taken from a single pot is $5 but this will only ever happen at high stakes tables with four or more players seated and for most cases the maximum rake at No Limit Hold'em tables ranges from $0.50 to just $3.

The "no flop no drop" policy is in effect at PokerStars - there is no rake if there isn't a flop. The rake varies, depending on the number of players, the limit, and the game; in all cases PokerStars defines the rake to fit each situation and it is equal to, or below, industry standards.

Playability

The PokerStars software is well programmed, running smoothly with rich graphics. Players can upload pictures as avatars, tables can be resized, themes selected and updated, with various search functions easy to use. Scrolling in chat and in the lobby can be a little bit of a hassle and players must click on each individual table to join the waiting list. However, these minor things won't detract from the overall experience.

PokerStars Promotions

Being the world's largest poker site, PokerStars sponsors some of the game's best players like Daniel Negreanu, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Viktor "Isildur1" Blom, and many more. The 'Find a Team PokerStars Pro' option, allows you to watch your favorite players whenever they are sitting at a table, and even take them on if you have the bankroll and nerve to do so! Special promotions run often at PokerStars and offer excellent incentives to play. Weekly freerolls and frequent-player-point games provide small-stakes players the chance to win big bucks. With several deposit and withdrawal options, excellent live support, and top-notch software, PokerStars is the best online poker site for any level of player. When creating your PokerStars account be sure to enter the PokerWorks marketing code upon registration and the bonus code when making your first deposit.
