PKR's graphics are over rated IMO. Sure, it's 3D, big deal it takes more than 3D to make up good graphics and appearance ... it doesn't actually look that amazing when you have all the options open, it looks a mess. Though I like to play there now and then, I do like the look-at-cards feature.
Full tilt is over rated too, I think they're graphics are very dated looking, and they really need to update the style of tables and avatars. It looks like a 90's card game at times.
I think Partypoker's new software with the modern themes and card images looks good. Pokerstars also has some nice themes if you fiddle about with them, you can make it look very nice indeed, but their sound effects are the worst on the net!
iPoker is terrible, they're all the same bar the bland colour schemes. they need to allow re-sizable tables, new avatars, and choice of backgrounds and colours. Then I'd vote the software.

For me stars has the best client software. Full tilt comes second. After these two a huge gap in quality exists. Ipoker, party and so on are all at least one league below those two.

I like FullTilt poker the best to play, alot of options to play and alot of user to play against and I don't like party poker because the microlimits are so expensive to buy in, mainly the SNG (not turbo/speed) which costs about 6$ and I like everest poker too, a lot of weak players and sng freerolls

Does anyone else like the new bwinpoker software? they updated the software a few days ago and I think the new graphics are really good. Only problem is the window is too wide compared to the height. Makes it a bit awkward to fit on the screen when you want to run two programs.
Worst software that i play at is without doubt party poker. I find it annoying when they keep re-seating you in tourneys and you have to keep resizing the tables which are way too big. I don't like that they don't show the cards in a cash game when everyone's all in. I don't like that they keep opening internet pages especially to tell me that I've lost my internet connection. A: I know I've lost connection and B: the internet page doesn't work until my connection is reconnected.

I agree with the first post. The best poker software is probably the full tilt! But ipoker network is not bad too. But my choice would go to full titl. But there are a lot of different opinions, a lot of people like pokerstars, personally i do not! But that is only me

I think pokerstars and fulltilt have the best software with good graphics, sound effects and layout. You don't feel stressed out after playing for few hours. i think cake software is also good. I don't like absolute/ub poker software but their blackjack software is good
