 Site Home » PokerStars the Choice for Large Fields  Uploading ....When attempting to find the best US poker sites, one of the most important things to consider is traffic. If one site has particularly high traffic, then it must have something going for it, but decent traffic is also important for an additional reason. The more players online, the higher the number of really poor players, and we all love fish. As I have said in previous entries, PokerStars is a top notch pick because they have the traffic situation well under control. It has the best volume in internet poker, at times reaching over 250,000 players logged on.
There's no better day of the week than Sunday to log in to your PokerStars download. PokerStars hosts tournaments that shouldn't be missed on Sunday, such as the Sunday Million, which results in a massive amount of site traffic. The tables are always thriving with tournament players, sometimes well over 150,000 at a time. The growth in the player pool for these tournaments also attracts a large number of ring game players, so even if you're getting PokerStars rakeback for the cash games, Sundays will still be one of your biggest days.
If the guaranteed prize pools on Sundays are all you're interested in, then it's always clear what times you'll be playing. If you’re trying to play the softest ring games possible, though, you should try to play during the best times of the day. PokerStars tends to experience a marked increase in traffic each day at 2pm ET, which is sustained right through until 10pm ET. This is the case on pretty much any day of the week. As with the other US friendly poker sites, though, weekday traffic lessens slightly earlier than weekend traffic.
The vast majority of players on PokerStars.com prefer tournaments, with tournament traffic never too low and often reaching over 150,000 simultaneous users. Ring games are also never short of players, with nearly 30,000 players on average to be found on the site and a very impressive 40,000 users during peak hours. Like all the best Mac poker sites, No Limit Texas Holdem enjoys most of the traffic, but the site also boasts a decent quantity of Limit Holdem and Pot Limit Omaha traffic. The site even has enough traffic for other rarer games like Badugi.
So, tournament or cash game player, check out PokerStars.com every Sunday or any day between 2pm ET and 10pm ET. During these peak hours you should easily see that this is one of the top Texas Holdem sites on the Internet.
