Graphics
Most of the sites allow you to mess around with colours, backgrounds, and deck types. Only a few allow more specialised alterations. PKR Poker actually allows you to design your own animated avatar.

Choosing a poker site to play at can at first seem a difficult decision, but what you'll find is that all major sites like those above are reliable and well run. A lot of the differences between pokersites comes into more how they look, the game choice/tournament choice available, and some extra features to the software. If you dont like a site after a few weeks it is very easy to just download another and try again. A lot of people will in fact play at several sites just to give themselves a bit of variety. Good luck with your choice, but more importantly good luck with the poker itself.
