PokerStars Download

PokerStars.com is without any shadow of a doubt the most popular online poker website ever.  Poker Stars continues to innovate by making sure its software offers the best poker experience possible. Altogether, the PokerStars download wins every comparison with other poker software clients among online poker junkies and hopefully today we will shed some light on some of the reasons why the world seems to think it’s the best there is.

To tackle things from top to bottom, let us begin with how it looks. Let’s cut to the chase; the Poker Stars download is a thing of beauty. The default lobby dons a beautiful and functional color scheme, and is a pleasure on your eyes, especially for long grinding sessions. And should it happen that it displeases you, the classic lobby is just an option away as is a literal million of other lobby versions because it was designed with customization in mind.  The poker table colors and overall designs are also very good-looking and completely customizable. It will be very easy for you to find a theme that will be pleasing to look at for a prolonged amount of time, which is precisely the software’s objective.

And then we tackle the lobby’s layout. By virtue of the Jupiter-sized amount of daily volume that Poker Stars.com benefits of having, its lobby should be very complicated and unsightly. But thankfully in reality it is a completely different thing (for the better, obviously), because the Poker Stars lobby makes excellent use of a primarily tabbed interface in an effort to be as easy to use and clean as possible, making finding the exact game you are looking for a breeze.

All text is easily legible even though its size can be customized to your heart’s desire. The lobby can be easily re-sized to whichever desired dimensions, and has a few game-specific filters that can be customized at will and enabled by just checking a check-box. Buttons in the default lobby theme are easily legible and depressed.

As an example, the tab interface can be put to extra good use as you can very easily sort by any criteria and then two additional criteria on top of the first one. This is done by simply right-clicking on the lowest set of tabs whether in the cash lobby, tournament lobby, or in any of the other sections of the PokerStars main lobby.

In a nutshell, the Poker Stars.com lobby layout is how all lobbies should be done, and using it is so second nature that you won’t even notice it’s there. And that is a truly hard thing to achieve when designing any piece of client, yet the Poker Stars gurus showed the world how it should be done.

The tables are the place you are going to spend the bulk of your time on playing some online poker is your goal. Poker Stars clearly had this in mind when they designed their software client, and improvements based on user requests are continually reviewed and implemented, in order to make the experience as second nature and pleasing as possible. And as we can see that effort has definitely paid off dividends in the long run.

The themes of the tables themselves are also totally customizable. By default you will have 18 themes at your disposal, available right from within the Poker Stars software itself, with a lot more available online at specialty sites.

A ton of options are included within the client, from common stuff like a 4-card deck to very advanced stuff such as popping a table up whenever a user action is required and single click to activate table that make multi-tabling a breeze using the PokerStars software client.

Inputting your actions is very intuitive thanks to large and clearly legible buttons that seem to respond very well to mouse and keyboard input.

The hand histories are easily accessible making use of a very handy replayer that is included in the software which plays back the hands with unprecedented user control over every street. And a back button, which is definitely one of those things you’d kill to have in a real table…

When it comes to stability and security features, you can definitely rest assured knowing that your money is in safe hands, as Poker Stars.com has state of the art account security and authentication features which thwart pretty much all hack attempts, with user error as pretty much the only way for someone else to access your account.

Let’s face it: the most common way to protect all types of accounts are passwords, but can be beaten by sophisticated attacks and grant unauthorized access to pretty much any account. In an effort to thwart keyloggers, the PokerStars client brings to us the “PokerStars PIN” which is a 6-digit pin that works alongside your password to grant access to your account. The secret to its success? The PokerStars pin needs to be input by using the mouse alone and the numbers will never appear in the same place on the screen no matter how many times you do this. It will be very hard for any keylogger to be able to get to the sensitive info.

And on top of that, PokerStars has another trick up its sleeve. Located in the Poker Stars VIP store you can get an RSA Token, which has a variable cost depending on your VIP level. In essence, the device will provide you with a randomly generated pin code which changes in 60 second intervals, which you will need to enter alongside your standard password in order to be granted access to your account. This is referred to as a two-factor authentication scheme which cannot be hacked easily, and makes sure your account is safe from hacking attempts and always at the ready for you to place your bets

And in regards to what you cannot see but only feel, the Poker Stars.com software client connects to servers which are pretty much military grade. Server outages are unheard of, and can handle 300,000+ players without even breaking a sweat.

Considering everything, the Poker Stars software is unrivaled. Matchless robustness, stability, graphics, ease of use and functionality make of the PokerStars client an experience to remember. And the best thing about it all is that you won’t ever notice it when grinding, which can be considered the very best feature among all the excellent ones this magnificent piece of software delivers.
