Poker Stars is a newer but healthy sized poker room, with anywhere from 5000 to 20,000 players online at any given time.
Big name support and a strong focus on taking the game seriously has led a lot of aspiring poker players here in a short span of time.

On the upside - there are 6 and 10 seat tables available to choose from, useful statistics shown in-game, and some features that other rooms don't have, like player to player transfers, tournaments with 2,4,6,8, and 18 seat tables, and most notably the ability to use your own custom pictures for avatars. While the tournaments are good as advertised, they don't really stand above other rooms in terms of what's offered of number of players.
As far as the software presentation, the graphics don't look all that good, the animations are 'choppy', and even the sound effects could use some work. Game play is also a little slow compared to other rooms, and table maximums are somewhat low as well (not for most, but they are significantly higher elsewhere).
Overall it's an o.k. poker room, but not the best of the bunch. Not recommended for new players.
