Cash game players at the micro-stakes and low limit stakes at PokerStars, as well as FullTilt Poker will be extremely pleased with the selection and availability of cash games of these levels. Each poker room has the low limit tables (stakes below $1-2), as well as the player-base to support a wide selection of low stakes poker.

Low Limit Texas Holdem Cash Games

FullTilt Poker typically has well over sixty low stakes fixed limit holdem tables running simultaneously. Factor in another fifty pot limit holdem tables, as well as 1100 no limit Texas Holdem tables during off peak hours, and you will clearly see FullTilt has quite the selection of real money low limit Texas Holdem players and tables to choose from. Finding a good game at the lower stakes is surely not problematic at FullTilt. These amounts more than double during peak hours at FullTilt Poker.

By comparison, PokerStars nearly four hundred low stakes FL cash tables in the off peak hours. Add in 40 pot limit tables, as well as 2600 low level NL Texas Holdem tables during most off peak hours, giving PokerStars the clear edge in Texas Holdem cash game traffic. Though worth noting, FullTilt’s low limit Texas Holdem numbers are nothing to sneeze at. Both Tilt and Stars put up some incredible numbers in the Texas Holdem traffic department.

Low Limit Omaha Cash Games

PokerStars features around 200 pot limit Omaha tables during off-peak hours. This compares favorably to the 160 PL Omaha tables running regularly on FullTilt. Numbers for both poker rooms climb drastically during prime poker playing hours. Tilt regularly runs roughly 50 Hi/Lo tables of FL, PL, and NL varieties, while Stars runs around 70 HI/Lo tables of the same type. During peak hours, it is common to see the hi/lo Omaha tables better populated in the low limit area of the respective poker rooms.

Low Limit Stud Cash Games

PokerStars are able to maintain around 35 Stud and Stud Hi/Lo cash tables running around the clock. It should be noted, however, that the traffic for these games is not as dense during off-times. Games are available, but not in mass as they are during peak hours, or at any time of the day for games like NL Texas Holdem. Tilt features ten Stud Tables that are traveled. Again, prime time is the best time for stud players at both Tilt and Stars.

Mixed Games

During off hours, mixed games at Stars and Tilt are scarce at best. Stars shows twenty players in the low level mixed games while Tilt has fifteen players on a typical day. These games do step up significantly during peak hours, where game selection at both sites are the best the web has to offer in all variations of poker in the low stakes realm.

Both PokerStars and FullTilt offer an abundance of cash game players and game types during off-peak hours, as well as during prime poker playing time. Cash poker players of the low level will be highly satisfied with either poker room from an availability and playability standpoint. While Stars has the edge in total traffic amongst low stakes players, either room will suit the low stakes player.
