The software on Pokerstars is one of the best on the web, it caters really well for multi table players and there are a lot of different table layouts to choose from.

The lobby is very clear and easy to see the tornaments and tables, the lobby is detailed and just from first sight, you can see how many tournaments and tables that are available. Another great new update on Pokerstars is being able to visualise your hands throufght the hand history option,this is in comparison to some other sites where it is not as easy to view the hands that have been played. The graphics are simple but effective, the tables are very clear spread out and easy to see the hands being played. The details are good on the tables as there are lots of small additions like showing the chips and the pictures that players have.

EPT
The Ept is a major part of Pokerstars and is a great franchise for their site and arguably they could be the biggest tournaments in Europe. There are a lot of satellites available and one amazing story was one of a man that had never deposited on the site played from play money, got through all of the freerolls and satellites required and qualified for the EPT event, he eventually got paid with a lot of money.
