(You can read more about its history in our Stars vs 888 review<\/a>; we won\u2019t be covering that today.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, ever since Amaya (later named The\nStars Group Inc.) took over the site, PS has been moving further and further\naway from its original agenda. Nowadays, it\u2019s been moving in a direction that focused\nmore on recreational players, drifting away from \u201cpure\u201d poker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It seemed that no one could pick up where\nPokerStars has left off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If such a giant decided that online poker as\nthe world knows it was no longer a viable option, who would dare defy the idea?\nBut then, almost out of nowhere came GGPoker, clearly looking to take over the\nspot once held by PS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GGPoker was initially launched in 2014 as a\nprimarily Asia-facing room, but over the last couple of years the site has been\nmaking the play for the market \u2013 and they\u2019ve been doing a great job at it so\nfar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its roster of professionals is starting to look\nreally serious. It even includes the former PokerStars number one ambassador,\nDaniel Negreanu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Negreanu, \u2018ElkY,\u2019 Bryn Kenney, and Fedor Holz<\/a> now make up the core of the GGPoker Team Pro, which clearly shows the site means business. A small poker room with no ambition wouldn\u2019t enter partnerships with such big names. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But when it comes to choosing between\nPokerStars and GGPoker, which one should you pick? This PokerStars vs GGPoker review\nwill try to answer some of the most important questions to help you make that\ndecision. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While both have their pros and cons, the best choice\nwill depend on what exactly it is that you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the longest time, PokerStars was the\nabsolute leader in terms of online poker software. For whatever reason, no\nother room could come close to offering a client that was as good-looking and\nplayer-friendly as that of PokerStars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sheer number of customization options at your disposal in the Stars client is quite impressive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can choose from different table layouts, select your preferred seat, set up auto-rebuy options for cash games and tournaments, and do much more to make the platform your own. (We go into more depth of the options in our PS vs 888 review<\/a>.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n On top of all this, the client runs smoothly\nwith no serious glitches to hinder your experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But then came GGPoker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clearly, the brains behind this site know exactly\nwhat it takes to attract players and build a loyal community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They didn\u2019t repeat the mistakes of their predecessors by launching substandard software. They made sure GGPoker was almost as good as that of PokerStars.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSoftware: PokerStars vs GGPoker \u2013 PS Wins (Only Just)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
