Poker Stars Software

Software Summary

The PokerStars software is privately developed and is one of the best in the business.

Aside from its great feel, stability and aesthetic, it's also fast, highly customizable, stable, and caters well to multi-tablers.

With a constantly growing number of players, the software is continuously updated and improved to accommodate them.

The software in its current version handles over 120,000 real-money players at peak hours and does so very well.

In late 2007 PokerStars also released the long-awaited Mac-compatible version of its software, allowing Mac players to access the software directly rather than through a third-party Windows emulator.

Stats

Stats functions in the PokerStars software are top notch.

The lobby shows all the selected games, and for a highlighted table it shows the names of the players seated and their stack. It also displays the names of players waiting to join the table.

Hand data is available during play and can also be requested for analysis. In the game, the software provides a quick callback of the last 200 hands, notes on other players and the usual stats on percentages of action in different hands.

One added bonus is the PokerStars software recalculates the pot size after each player's action and keeps separate statistics for each of your game types.

Multi-Table

The PokerStars software supports advanced multi-tabling, with resizable tables and up to 24 cash games possible at a time.

An unlimited amount of tournaments and sit-and-gos is also possible, basically letting the user decide how many tables he can play before he reaches his limit.

Players can automatically tile or cascade all open tables and custom game profiles can be edited and saved, letting the player customize his entire playing experience.

Graphics

The PokerStars graphics are some of the most praised in the business; clean, crisp, easy to understand and highly customizable.

Some players think the software is almost too clean cut, but in general, people appreciate the straightforward and intuitive look.

Because of the great customization options, the look and feel can also easily be changed and every player can find a combination that makes him/her happy.

To personalize the software, players can also upload an image to use as their avatar when playing.

Thankfully, there is also the option to block player images and rid your poker table of cats, dogs and the occasional Playboy bunny.

The software has several backgrounds and table layouts, and with some tinkering players can pretty much make it look and sound exactly how they want.

Special Features

Special features are great, with new features being added constantly.

Some of the latest are an auto-rebuy option for ring games, a find a player function and a range of new keyboard shortcuts.

PokerStars has also added a hand replayer directly in to the software, allowing players to revisit recent hands without leaving the table.

Overall, PokerStars goes to great lengths to keep its players happy and the features are second to none.
