Pokerstars - Tournaments
Probably the best section of
Pokerstars is the tournament one. It counts with lots of tourneys starting
every 10 minutes or so, ranging from micro limits to higher ones in all poker
variants and mixed games. You can find many guaranteed tourneys, some of them
with good relation between buy in and the tournament prize pool. For instance
in the power limit a 3$ buy in for a 9000$ guaranteed tournament. Due to the
high number of players you can count with big fields at least for the no limit
texas hold’em players. Even in overnight
hours, no limit events will attract fields of 500 to 1000 players, so get ready
for a few hours of poker. Till the next time good bets.

Pokerstars - Sit-and-go's
About the sit-and-go section of
Pokerstars, you can play from the micro limits (under 5$) all the way to the
higher limits (100$ and up). When choosing the limit to play, always respect
the 2% rule: never invest more than 2% of your bankroll in a sit-and-go or
tournament. One of the most important skills of a poker player is a bankroll
management skill. You actually might be a pretty good player but without a
solid bankroll management you are domed to bankruptcy .
You will also find several blind
structures, the normal structure blinds will increase in intervals of 10
minutes. There is turbo and hyper structures which increase at 5 minutes and 2
minutes. I personally recommend not to play this structures because the high
variance. Be patient, play the normal structure where your poker skills will
come to the fore.
Another variable is the number of players,
you will find sit-and-go’s of: 2,6,9,10,18,27,45 players and even bigger sit’s.
Some players will prefer play smaller sit-and-go’s and others will play the
biggest, that's up to you. Be in minding that the bigger the sit-and-go, more
you can win but it’s harder to finish in the money. Be prepared to play a few
hours in the bigger sit’s, for instance the 9 players sit-and-go may take from
1 hour to 1:30 hours.
This is the basic about sit-and-go’s at
Pokerstars, good bets.

PokerStars
Now a days, the largest
poker room in the world is PokerStars, no other poker site offers as much tournaments;
sit-and-go’s or cash tables as PokerStars. It counts with a wide range of
stakes adjusting to all players bankrolls, from the new player that enters the world of poker for the first time with a small bankroll, to the more expert
player and high roller.
When we talk about
poker, we talk of Texas Hold’em but there are much more variants, all of them
you can find it at PokerStars. Such as Omaha and Seven-Card Stud in all
versions, H.O.R.S.E., H.O.S.E., 2-7 Triple Draw, Five-Card Draw, Razz, 2-7
Single Draw Lowball, Badugi, 8-Game, Mixed Hold’em and Mixed Omaha Hi/Lo.
In terms of software it’s
well developed, lots of customization of the table view, reliable, fast and for
the multi-table players this section is very good. Pretty much one of the best software’s
you will find out there.
The negative aspect of
been the biggest poker site in the world, regards the skill of the other
players. Because of the huge number of players their skill is not homogeneous, so you may
find some really though tables with fierce opponents, in the other way you
may found other tables quite weak that can turn really profitable using a good
solid strategy.
Bottom line PokerStars
is one of the best, lots of possibilities and a good poker site to start
playing.
More of PokerStars in
the next posts, till then good bets.
