Fifth Year of WSOPE Finished in France
The European version of the World Series of Poker finished its fifth year just recently.

Women's League
One of the best things about a PokerStars download is that they work hard to include as many different players as possible. The folks in charge recently decided that not nearly enough women frequent their room, and now they are working to correct that. There is a section on the PokerStars website dedicated to women, and it supports women in their quest to use a PokerStars bonus code and have some...
The Best Traffic Online
When looking for the best poker site, nothing should be more important to you than traffic. Clearly if there are a lot of players in a poker room, then you can expect a lot from it, but good traffic is also great for one other reason.

Supernova and Supernova Elite
Last time I introduced the VIP program that comes automatically with your PokerStars download. I told you that once you start your account with a new PokerStars download, the first VIP level is BronzeStar, but you’d be better off making your way to PlatinumStar status each month for the best rewards. The site wanted a way to thank the consistent hardcore grinders, though, so they came up with...
