PokerStars Review
PokerStars software is one of the sharpest out there. The interface allows for player notes, your own stats, and a pretty cool flexible hand history that lets you customize it to the what you want. The lobby at PokerStars is easy to navigate lets you upload an avatar yourself, a nice feature.
PokerStars software does have a couple of trivial problems with it, however. For starters, the pot amount is displayed on the top of the screen, not the center of the table. But, the biggest problem I have is the size of the tables. Most online card rooms allow for ten players at a table, PokerStars only allows for 9. Some people may like that, I do not.
All in all, however, PokerStars is THE premier online poker site. The site is home to the last 6 WSOP main event champions. There is definitely something going on over at PokerStars . They also offer the best tournament poker selection around.

- Seven Card Stud 8 / better
Poker Stars has all of the games that you would expect from a premier online poker site. It should be mentioned that this room does boast some of the best tournament traffic around. With Sit and Go (SNG) Tournaments available at all levels up to $500+30, Poker Stars is easily number one for online poker tournaments.
PokerStars.com Player Competition
The competition at PokerStars.com is some of the best around. If you are looking for loose games, stick with Full Tilt Poker. But, if you are looking for a good game (which means less suck outs), then PokerStars.com is the place for you. Once again, it is also of note that PokerStar.com has produced the last three years WSOP champions (Chris MoneyMaker, Greg Raymer, and Joe Hachem). PokerStars com is definitely one of the best online poker rooms around.
PokerStars.net Deposit Options
The minimum deposit at PokerStars.net is only $25 (through Neteller). This makes PokerStars net one of the cheapest rooms to get started in. Other options include:
FirePay, CentralCoin, VISA / VISA Delta / VISA Electron / Gift and Prepaid VISA, MasterCard / Gift and Prepaid MasterCard, Solo / Maestro / Switch (available to UK players only), Cashier’s Check / Money Order / Bank Draft
PokerStar Customer Service
I have never had to deal with Customer Service at PokerStar, everything has always run so smoothly. However, there doesn’t seem to be any phone support at Poker Star (should the situation arise), but they do rapidly respond to emails 24/7.
Positives & Negatives of PokerStars
Positives:
Best Tournament traffic around, three-peat WSOP champions
Negatives:
The room is huge and has a lot of very good players.
