PokerStars still breaking records

POKERSTARS BREAKS RECORDS FOR FOURTH WEEK RUNNING

Supporting the US players continues to bring benefits to leading online poker site

After four weeks of record breaking entries, it is now almost expected that PokerStars will continue to attract record numbers of players from around the world, but most importantly the United States despite recent legislative attempts to hamstring the industry and scare off international companies.

Each week recently the PokerStars Sunday Millions tournament has brought a new attendance or prize-pool record, and this weekend was no exception. Some 6 740 players signed up for the event, generating a $1 348 000 prize pool, with $188 720 the listed first-place money. 975 players were 'in the money', with player "Legato" scooping the winner's pot.

Over at Full Tilt Poker, event number 2 of the Full Tilt Online Poker Series had temporarily replaced the usual big-money Sunday tourney, but the players were still out in force with 3 010 registering for the $216 No-Limit Hold'em, $500 000 Guarantee. It produced one of the largest Full Tilt prize funds ever at $602 000. Player "Joskins" collected the $107 788 first place paycheck.

Ultimate Bet's $200 000 Guaranteed tournament pulled in 946 entrants who paid $215 each for their chance at a big cash-in at Ultimate Bet, and with UB's standard guarantee in play, 100 players cashed and the first prize paid $45 000. "njm3111" added $45 000 to his (or her) bank balance.

Party Poker, which excludes US players, had a quieter night on its $200 000 Guaranteed games. 942 players entered, so the standard payout numbers were in place, including the scheduled $47 000 first-place prize.

Just my weekly post to say how Poker Stars is a total class act and deserves all the success they have. I always knew they would catch Party, it is too bad it was under these conditions. I wanted them to do it on their own merit.

IMAO
partypoker was better than pokerstars.
1. partypoker has rev share program
2. withdrawal in partypoker is instant
3. partypoker has more bonuses
4. partypoker has endless freerolls
5...

pokerstars? for small bankroll players it sucks.
I even like full tilt poker better than pokerstars only because of the rakeback!

partypoker is more open to players, affiliates and the whole industry. pokerstars is sneaking to do the business. do you know its affiliate system may eat your players?

1. The only players that would care about this would be the ones getting rakeback there against their rules. The fact that Stars does not do rev share is certainly one of the reasons their limit rake being the most player friendly on the internet so in fact Party's rev share makes it a negative for players not breaking the rules.

2. I think you are confusing this with Stars. Stars has instant cashouts for up to the amount of your deposit. Others are processed in about a day. Party's cashouts are fast but not instant.

3. Party Poker has only had 1 reload bonus in 2006 that was not account specific. Poker Stars has had four plus the VIP bonus that expired yesterday that was available to any player that generated 1500 or more points in September or October.

4. Party freerolls were very rare before the ban. They must be running more now. Stars runs a few but most serious players that care about the overall experience do not care about freerolls.

Very few poker rooms had worse support then Party Poker. Any player that has had an issue with them will tell you this. Stars has probably the best support of any poker room.

is it just me or have many of the party poker donks made the successful transition to pokerstars. i tried stars tonight for the first time in a few months and it seemed to me that the level of play had deteriorated significantly. (i play mostly $5 sitngos so perhaps it's different in other areas?)

nicest part about pokerstars is that there's no blackjack to tempt me after a bad beat tourney exit.

I haven't played at pokerstars in about two years and went back the other nite and had a great time. I play the single table, sit n go in the ranges of $15-$50 and have either won or been in the money 5 out of 6 times.

Gotta love them players, they just keep forcing money on me Now, I found a new past time to break up the casino monotony...and they are paying me to boot! Gotta love them people!

I am wondering this too. I guess they mean they think Stars loses refers. It sounds like they are not thrilled with Stars overall.

Unfortunaltely the two up and coming rooms, Pokerstars and Fulltilt, have the lousiest webmaster programs anyone could have. The track record is awful, worse than party ever was.

I don't know about these rooms, usually webmasters and players suffer alike from the same places, but here it seems players are happy and webmasters get screwed.

I wonder how long that will go on before they screw everyone. Or clean up their act. Let's hope it's the latter. So far I hear nothing but webmaster complaints.

Do you mean because Stars is CPA only and Full Tilt deducts anything and everything or are there more problems? Players seem very happy with both of those rooms although Full Tilts deductions are a bit overboard. I mean really, where else does a poker room deduct items bought in the store from MGR?
