Does anyone play on Pokerstars?

I played there a long time ago, when I first started out. Had a mixed time, I doubled my bank then lost the profit and decided not to play there as everyone kept saying it was rigged. Naive of me, I know. But I am looking for a new home and although I am enjoying Party Poker, I really don't like the software. I just re-installed Pokerstars and saw there are currently 65,000 players online! And I have heard people say there are 90,000+ online sometimes, so it can't be all bad.

So, any opinions welcome

One of my personal favorites.

Everytime I see someone post that they're playing on Party, I cringe. It's night and day.

If I have the logo up on the main forum page, then its a place I can recommend.

Rather than stick around and fight like Poker Stars and Full Tilt, they left the US, costing investors billions.

Most site promoters feel that as the #1 Poker room, they should have led the way.

Aaaah, I see. I live in the UK, so the USA debate doesn't affect me. On the bright side, I see they are trying to push through a bill to help reverse things in the US.

Barney Frank's bill is called the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of 2007 and if passed it would probably lead to the majority of US states choosing to follow the UK's lead in regulating rather than banning online wagers

But it does affect you, not your ability to play, but the less players playing affects the promos and special tournaments. It also affects your economy as most of those investors where from Europe.

It also led to other countries following suit, look at Turkey, France, Sweden and even Canada. The internet should stay as it is, GLOBAL. Not just for gaming, but for everything, it brings the world closer.

only a few sites have banned Canada
and that was because the owners couldnt play hockey ; )

the real kick in the nutz is that the law does not say americans can not gamble online, that part is legal.

That's partially true, there a re some states that have laws against all online gambling. It's a class 3 felony in the state of Washington to play poker. For comparisons, that's the same as raping someone.
