If you are looking for poker action with opponents from around the world, you have found it! PokerStars is your best bet for user-friendly poker software, exceptional service and unique features
PokerStars is not an Internet casino. Unlike an Internet casino, you never play against the house; You always play against other real poker players from around the world. PokerStars receives compensation for hosting games between players by collecting a rake from each real money pot. There is absolutely no charge to participate in our play money games. In fact, we encourage you to try our play money games, especially if you are new to cardroom-style poker.
We are proud to offer the most popular poker games from cardrooms around the world at limits from $0.01/0.02 to $100/$200.
Special Features of PokerStars.com
PokerStars is a different kind of poker room. In addition to our world-class software and service, we've added some unique features to make your poker experience the best in the galaxy.
Player Images
No longer are your fellow Internet poker players just text and an infernal blinking light. As poker players ourselves, we know how important it is to be able to recognize the faces at your table. That's why at PokerStars, you have the option of selecting a personalized image to represent you at the virtual tables. The image can be of anything you want: Your pet, your Favourite movie star or, of course, you!
When you open your PokerStars account, you'll have the option of supplying your own picture, or not providing an image at all. More...
Player Statistics
Am I seeing the flop too often? How many hands did I fold on 6th Street? Playing too tight in the big blind? These are questions we all ask ourselves at the table, but what a tedious process it is to actually figure out the answers.
At PokerStars, we'll take on the task of tracking various statistical data for your play. Any time you want this data, we'll e-mail it right to your inbox. You can also view statistics accumulated during your current session right at the table. Your statistical data is available to you and you alone. Note that as we do not archive play money or freeroll tournament hand histories, this information is unavailable for those games. More...
Hand Histories
What the heck did that guy call me with? Are those two players colluding? Didn't I have a flush there? These kinds of questions can be answered by requesting your hand histories. You can request a hand history for a specific game number, a full tournament, or up to a full transcript of your last 200 hands by clicking on the dealer tray and selecting "Request Hand History". A hand history will show all the action during the hand, as well as the cards of anyone who did not fold during the hand.
Note that you will not be able to see uncalled hands unless you were dealt in on the hand in question, and that we do not archive play money or freeroll tournament hand histories.
Opponent Notes
As the old adage goes, poker is not a game of cards, it's a game of people. PokerStars allows you to keep a profile on your opponents by giving you a window to jot down notes about their play. Your notes are saved on your system, and ready to be accessed the next time you square off against an old opponent. More...
Multi-Table Tournaments
PokerStars has top-notch tournament software, and we plan to provide great tournament poker action with features which will keep you coming back again and again. From satellites to re-buy tournaments to freezeouts, stay tuned to our Tournaments page for the latest news. More...
No Limit and Pot Limit Play Money Side Games
Whether you want to try No Limit Texas Hold'em, the Cadillac of Poker, or prefer the strategic intricacies of Pot Limit Omaha High, you'll get a great chance to hone your big-bet poker skills in our popular No Limit and Pot Limit games.
Displayed Connection Status
No longer do you have to sit through the frustration of playing with an Internet slowpoke. PokerStars gives its players information about the connection status of other players. The connection status of all players at a table is displayed in the main lobby, on the table list. You can also see the connection status of any player at your table by moving your cursor over his or her image/label.
