You have definitely heard of the word “poker”, from songs and movies to friends or family that love to gamble all night. Poker is a card game that has been satisfying several people for years now. It is one of the most popular card games and usually comes in different types, usually depending on the number of cards.

Its popularity is really an epidemic, for even the online industry took advantage of its fame. Online poker rooms are the best evidence that proves just how popular poker games are. Hundreds of these online poker gaming rooms are just about everywhere. Unfortunately, with all these choices, you might have a hard time looking for the best place to play online poker.

One great recommendation is Poker Stars Com. You could have heard of it before, because it is the largest website that hosts online poker in the whole world. The satellite tournaments of Poker Stars Com produced several known personalities such as the champions of the 2003 and 2004 World Series of Poker Chris Moneymaker and Greg Raymer aka Fossilman, who now acts as the spokespeople for Poker Stars along with the 2005 Champion Joe Hachem (who is still a regular player).

The online poker site offers ten different types of poker games, namely the Omaha, Stud, Omaha Hi/Lo (8 or Better), Stud Hi/Lo (8 or Better), Five Card Draw, Deuce to Seven Single Draw, Deuce to Seven Triple Draw, Razz, Badugi and Texas Hold ‘Em.

Under these types of poker are the so-called “mixed games” that include Mixed Hold ‘Em, Horse, 8 Game, Mixed Omaha Hi/Lo and Hose. The players in the site can choose to participate in real money games that range from $.01 or $.02 to $1000 and $2000.

Poker Stars is the home of the world’s biggest online poker championship tournament, World Championship of Online Poker. The site also has more than 20,000 players that play real money games everyday and thousands playing the tournaments or the “free play games”. At peak operating periods, the visitors playing online reach up to 200,000 or more.

The flagship weekly event of Poker Stars is the Sunday Million, which is a weekly poker tournament that has a prize of a guaranteed $1.5 million and a buy in of only $215. And on July 8, 2007, the site launched a weekly event known as the Sunday 1/4 Million, which has an $11 buy in. This event usually has about 25,000 up to 30,000 players, which means it is the biggest real-money tournament that is participated in ever.
