And they cater to American players!

 

With some of the best online poker software in the industry, great customer service and a myriad of games, tournaments and promotions available, is it any wonder they are on top? Likewise, Poker Stars has also just celebrated its 10 Billionth [yes, that's 9 zeros] hand promotion where players on cash game tables were awarded prizes up to and including $100,000 for participating in the venture. Tournament players were awarded with special promotional tournaments with prize money added guarantees. In fact, Poker Stars' normal Million Dollar Sunday had $250,000 added and the ranks of players swelled so much, that the prizepool topped out at over $2 Million.

 

You simply cannot find more options in online poker than at Poker Stars. Around the clock cashgame play in Hold'em, Omaha, 5 Card Draw, 2-7 Triple Draw, HORSE and HOSE. They run SnGs ranging from Heads-up encounters to 20 table "180s' and most everything in between. Add to this some of the best tournaments of all buy-ins, game types and satellites/qualifiers and a person could easily play nowhere else.

 

Poker Stars also offers some of the best online promotions in the industry. Their massive World Championships of Online Poker attracts thousands of online and live players from around the world. It is not uncommon to find yourself sitting across the virtual felt with the like of Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer, Scott Fischman or JINXYMONKEY. Add to this their plethora of great guaranteed tournaments run on a daily and weekly basis, as well as satellites to WPT, EPT and WSOP events, and players can find nearly everything in the realm of tournaments that they desire.

 

Poker Stars has nice bonuses and reload also. Players can get an initial deposit bonus of 100% up to $50, as well as lucrative reloads in the neighborhood of 25% up to $150. Players need to earn anywhere from 10 to 20 FPPs per bonus dollar to clear their bonuses. In turn, these FPPs can be redeemed for merchandise ranging form clothing apparel to books to tournament entries to an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Yeah, play and drive like Bond....James Bond.

Those Other Mistakes - Texas Holdem Strategy
Written by Ian Taylor
The only way to make money at poker is through your opponents' mistakes. Consequently if you make fewer mistakes than your opponents then you will make money, in the long term at least. In fact, poker is a game based entirely on mistakes. You must make as few as possible and exploit those of your opponents (not exploiting an opponents mistake is, in itself, a mistake). Theoretically, there is no such thing as a 'good' play as such. There is the correct play and then there are various degrees of mistakes. Read more... strategy
 

Cash Games - A Necessary Tool of the Texas Holdem Tournament Poker Player
Written by Barry Carter
There was a time when all poker players learnt their trade playing cash poker games and texas holdem tournaments were something of a novelty. Today we have clearly defined tournament players and clearly defined cash game players. Some of the best cash game players have little or no success in tournaments and some hugely successful MTT/SNG players have never even played cash games. I was in Dublin last month at the Irish Open and I witnessed one of the best online tournament players in the world bust out of the main event and play in a cash game. Read more... strategy
 

One Year as a Poker Pro
Written by Ian Taylor
On the 5th of May 2006 I left my cosy office job for the last time, in order to throw my hat into the ring as a professional poker player. Long-time members of the ITH poker forum may remember my plea for last minute advice before I finally took the plunge. No matter how prepared I thought I was, giving up a guaranteed income to try and make my way as a professional gambler was a huge step and one which I don't think you can ever be completely ready for. I was extremely grateful for all the advice I received. About 6 months prior to this I had written an article called One Week as a Pro, in which I described taking a week off work to see what life would be like as a poker pro. I thought I would write a follow up to this article, chronicling my experiences as a full time pro and answering some of the questions that I am frequently asked. In the last year I have received several inquiries as to my progress and experiences now I have taken the plunge for real. It has been an exciting year, with plenty of ups and downs, but ultimately it has been a rewarding experience, both financially and in other ways as well. Read more... strategy
 

Why Do Players Go on Tilt
Written by Ian Taylor (piemaster) & Matthew Hilger (mchilger)
Texas Holdem Tips : The Luckiest Player in Poker: The Antithesis of a Bad-Beat StoryWhy do players go on tilt? This is not an easy question to answer. Every player is different, and will have different reasons why he goes on tilt. A situation that puts one player on tilt may not affect another player at all. But, we can make generalizations about why certain types of tilt are common and what situations might trigger them. To do so, we must peel back a number of layers and look at what influences the way people play poker. Read more... strategy
 

Logical Fallacies 
Written by Ian Taylor     
Everyone likes to think that they are logical, but in poker as well as every day life, many people show weakness in this area. They will make poor decisions and act in ways that are irrational because they fail to follow a rational thought process to its conclusion. In The Poker Mindset we call this phenomenon "Woolly Thinking". The data input is in place and a decision is reached, but somewhere in between, the wires are crossed.
