I still consider myself a recreational player because I put less than 10 hours in a week and rarely play at more than one table. Yet in the last 6 months I have traded in my points for a Nintendo Wii, about 5 t-shirts, a belt and several misc. items. I have also used some of my points to enter some tournaments. I bring this up to show you how +EV this program really is, I can only imagine how these improvements are going to make this program even better in 2014.

USA citizens at Pokerstars in 2014
There are already a few legal US poker sites in 2014. Currently though, USA citizens at Pokerstars can only play for fun. When Pokerstars accepts U.S. players I will update this review. This is expected to happen this year. Americans can visit this list of USA poker sites 2014 at USPokerSites2014.net.
2014 Pokerstars Network and Player Action
Poker Stars is on their own, independent poker network. They don’t share their software with anyone else and there are no other rooms that use their traffic. With that said however, they don’t need any help, Poker Stars is consistently the number one site in the world for player traffic and action. At peak times they can have as many as twenty five thousand players online and between fifteen and twenty five active HORSE and mixed game tables going. Poker Stars is certain to be one of the best places to play mixed game poker as it continues to rise in popularity.
HORSE poker and mixed games game selection
Poker Stars has the best selection of HORSE and mixed games on the Internet. Players will find games with limits starting as low as $0.10/$0.20 and going up to $5/$10. The great news is that you can find a game at nearly any of these levels pretty much all the time. Usually all the games are full and players of any skill level or bankroll should be happy with what they find. They currently offer HORSE poker, Mixed Holdem, Mixed Omaha H/L , PLH/PLO, 8-Game Mix , Triple Stud and HOSE.

HORSE and mixed games tournament selection
HORSE tournament players will also be happy with the selection they find at Poker Stars. They have both sit n go and regular multi table HORSE and mixed games tournaments running all day every day. With HORSE and the mixed games formats quickly getting more popular, Poker Stars has responded by running more and more tournaments in the various formats. Players will find tournaments with buy ins below five dollars and high limit tournaments that cost $100 to $200 to enter. Poker Stars even has mixed hold’em and mixed Omaha Hi-Lo games that switch between limit, no limit and pot limit formats as the game carries on. Just recently they added 8 Game Poker to their line-up, this is the most challenging mixed poker game I've ever played. Update (October, 2009), Pokerstars has recently added PLH/PLO to their mixed game line-up.

Customer service and banking
Poker Stars has built a reputation of being one of the most trusted and reliable poker sites out there. They have good customer service and a wide range of banking methods for their international customer base. The one downfall is that they only offer customer support via email. The great news though is that the customer service agents are very knowledgeable and their responses are always fast. You won’t be waiting days and days to hear back from Poker Stars customer support, usually they answer within a few hours.
Banking at Poker Stars is reliable and secure. They offer a wide range of deposit options including instant bank draft, credit card, Neteller, Skrill and many more. Cash outs at Poker Stars in 2014 are always fast and usually they are credited back using the method you initially deposited with.
