PartyPoker.com Review
is a part of its own network, PartyPoker. It is important to note that due to the legislation in the United States they currently do NOT accept US customers.
If you do reside outside of the United States you will be able to play at one of the most well known poker rooms today. Before the legislation passed in 2006, Party Poker was the place to play online poker. It still is for many people outside of the US but has since dropped in popularity. After they banned US players, many people were very disappointed to have to leave the “fish fest” that Party Poker was always known for.
At Party Poker you will find no-limit, limit, and pot-limit Hold’em, limit and pot-limit Omaha (and Hi/Lo), and 7 Card Stud. Most of the cash game players are attracted to the ever popular no-limit Hold’em, and there are many full tables for every stake. You will notice that they have jackpot and regular tables listed throughout, and I highly recommend avoiding the jackpot tables if you can. These tables have an additional rake and it can greatly impact one’s win rate. If you also like to play Omaha or Stud, there usually are some tables running. However, most of these tables are low-mid stakes, and I only once saw a high stakes game being played.
Tournaments at Party Poker are very popular, almost more so than their cash tables. There are hundreds of Sit & Go’s being played at the same time with the most popular being in the $11 - $33 range. I also noticed quite a few $55 - $109, but rarely any higher than that. They also offer up to 5-table SnGs, but only up to the $33 buyin and generally do not fill up very fast. This is one of the best online poker rooms for mid-stake Sit & Go players today.
Multi-Table tournaments also have quite a large turnout. They have many daily guaranteed prize pools, which usually shatter the amount. Their regular tournaments range from $1 + R ($1000 guaranteed) up to larger buyins such as the Super Saturday, $300 + $20 ($50,000 guaranteed). The smaller buyins usually host a field of around 500-600, and higher stakes can get around 150 people large. Their weekly Sunday tournament has a $300,000 guaranteed prize pool ($215 buyin) and usually hosts 1500+ players. Party Poker also offers many daily $100 up to $1000 freerolls, some exclusively for new players, and the fields can be as large as 5000 players.
While playing for real money at PartyPoker, you will earn Party Points. The more Party Points you earn raises your VIP level (4 levels, Jack through Ace), which gives you better rewards and faster ways to earn points. Party Poker rewards points in a different fashion than most online rooms, based on the number of raked hands you play in a month. For every 20 raked hands you play, you will receive x amount of points (x depends on the stake.) For example, 20 raked hands at $.5 - $1 no-limit hold’em will earn you 5 points, and at $5 - $10 you would get 16. These points can be used for special tournaments, freerolls, or to earn cash back. (Points expire 180 days after they are earned).

PartyPoker Software Interface/Usability
If you have been playing at for years, one thing you probably noticed is their software has always remained pretty close to the same. There have been a few updates and new features added, but it has always had the same look and feel. However, when the launch of their last update, you might be surprised that you're actually playing at PartyPokerA!
See the screen shots above, these is what the new PartyPoker looks like! The lobby has a similar taste to the original, but has a lot of new features. The first thing you will probably notice is it is HUGE! I was trying to figure out how to make it smaller, and if you click on the restore button (the one between the minimize and exit in the upper right hand corner) it will default to a smaller size. This is much better! Cash, tournaments, sit and gos, and even blackjack are separated by tabs at the top. Also, the + and - tab system is still present for selecting your game.
There is another view built in for the lobby. You can change views by clicking on the top right button, which looks like this -  . This new view uses menus for games, limits, and tables instead of the + and - side menu. I personally like this display much better and have set it as my default. You can also add certain filters based on average pot, players per flop, available seats, and more.
There are also some new lobby features which are great. In addition to being able to resize it, you can see a preview of all tables before joining, more powerful favorite listing, quick seat table search, and quicker access to waiting lists. The quick seat will find you a cash table or tournament in seconds.
Now when you sit down, you might think "woah, this is different!" That was my reaction. However, different is not bad. Many people have expressed their dislike of the PartyPoker tables for years. They even would download mods to get rid of the avatars and make the background plain and black. However, now the table has been completely redesigned giving it a fresh look. Those nasty built in people avatars are now gone. You can now upload your own custom avatars, take improved notes, and take advantage of their new keyboard shortcuts. This is great for the lazy! This has to be activated in the options menu, then when you press Ctrl + Left Arrow, you fold, Ctrl + Down Arrow Call, and Ctrl + Right Arrow Raise. You can also use these shortcuts for the advance action. Also, these can actually be used for no-limit because you can press Ctrl + Shift + Up Arrow to increase the size of your bet by big blind, and Ctrl + Shift + Down Arrow to decrease it. Then Ctrl + Enter puts in the raise. Awesome feature! Check out the PartyPoker site for complete details on shortcuts.
Also, it's always good when the software yells at your when you're doing something wrong. The new built in alerts include timing out, which will beep and beep even more when you're timing out. A good hand alert can be set by you to let you know when you are dealt a certain hand so you pay attention. If you want to be notified when you get AA or KK this is a great feature, no more accidentally folding them! The big pot alert allows you to set an alert when the pot at the table reaches a certain size. This is good for paying attention to the big pots your opponents play, so can be useful even if you're not in the hand.
You can also resize all tables, which is great for multi-tabling. However, you can now tile, cascade and sort all tables you have open. This makes them display much better on your screen. You can also choose open similar tables, which instantly opens up a similar table - a great way to quickly get as many tables up as you want!
This new PartyPoker update even has more features, so it may take a while to get use to everything. Just try it out, if you haven't played at PartyPoker.com in a while, now is the time I suggest giving it another shot.

Party Poker Poker Room Action
Party Poker use to be the largest online poker site in the world, but since banning US players it has dropped down a few spots. It definitely still is near the top and this is largely due to the release of its software is many different languages, which enables many different countries to play easier on it. Because of this, you can expect action at every limit, and tournaments. There are thousands of tables running at once, so you can definitely find a game you want to play.

PartyPoker.com Customer and Technical Support
Party Poker has a pretty decent support desk, and usually replies to e-mails within 4 hours. It is important to note however if you are in the US, they reply to you much slower, mainly because they don’t accept your business! They have toll free numbers for countries outside of the US, and 24/7 e-mail help:
E-mail: info@partypoker.com
Phone: 1-866-848-7537 (Toll Free Canada, more numbers listed on their website)

Party Poker's Ease of Game, Ease of Making Money, Fish Rating
Party Poker’s reputation was largely built upon being the largest and fishiest website back when it was first released. Although it isn’t the largest anymore, it still holds true to the fish part. Many people who still play at PartyPoker feel it is the easiest site to play on today. This is one of the reasons it had such a large impact when it closed its doors to US players, many people didn’t know where else to go where the games would be as good. So if you are lucky enough to be located where you can play, you will find many fish to be caught.

PartyPoker.com Bonuses and Promotions
is now offering FTR members an even better bonus! This is much better than the previous offer and what you will find offered elsewhere. This new and improved bonus if for your first deposit in the amount of 100% up to $500! Make sure to use the PartyPoker Bonus Code FTR500 and signup with the links on this page to qualify. Deposit $500 to get the full $500 bonus.
Another great advantage of this bonus is it clears pretty quickly. The full $500 will be yours when you earn 5 times the bonus amount in PartyPoints. The bonus is released in 5 parts, so every time you collect 500 points, $100 will be yours. How many PartyPoints you earn depends on the game and stakes you play. They are awarded to you for every 20 raked hands, but the higher you play, you can potentially collect almost 2 points per raked hand! For example, at $.10 - $.25 no-limit hold'em, every 20 raked hands you will earn 2 PartyPoints. But if you were playing $.5 - $1, 20 raked hands would yield 5 PartyPoints. At $5 - $10, 16 PartyPoints per 20 raked hands, and it keeps going up. So as you can see this bonus is cleared A LOT easier the higher you play. For example, the full $500 bonus yours when you collect 2,500 PartyPoints, if you played $.25 - $.50 no-limit, you would earn 3 PartyPoints per 20 raked hands. So this would take about 16,666 raked hands total. But if you were playing $1 - $2, you would collect 8 PartyPoints per 20 raked hands, for 6,250 raked hands. This is a pretty big gap. This bonus is definitely clearable below 100nl, but I would recommend waiting until you are rolled for 100nl or higher. The bonus expires in 90 days, which is way more than enough time required. (Please see the website for complete details on how to earn PartyPoints.)
Party Poker also offers occasional reload bonuses if your account goes idle for a while.
PartyPoker will normally email you with a bonus offer to try to regain your action. Check out
our
EmpirePoker and PartyPoker Bonus System
to learn more about taking advantage of reload bonuses.
Party Poker doesn't really offer much with regards to freeroll events, but they do have several big
tournaments that they host, as well as satellites to some major events. Party Poker's biggest event is
the PartyPoker.com Million, which takes place aboard a cruise ship and is one of the largest WPT events.

 “No loose games.” by CLEATUS54, 15 Apr 2006 |
Interface:  Action:  Support:  Fish: Bonus:  |
Party Poker is the only on-line site I
have tried.
I do like the ease with which you can
learn about the site. Technical support
and customer service is good.
I have never found an easy game. The
2-4,3-6, even the 1-2 tables have been
nothing but hardcore rock death matches.
As a person who has played a lot of
brick and mortar, I know there are
always some tough tables, but you
usually find a decent mix at the casino.
Not so at Party Poker. Maybe the fish
have been caught, but I have NEVER ONCE
found a good game.
I opened up a separate account to limit
my risk from on-line fraud, even going
so far as to open up at a separate bank
to protect my main financial routing
number. I am still playing on the one
and ONLY deposit I will ever make, so if
they take it, they take it. (I now play
only when I am totally alert, and play
supertight. Once in a while, you can
make a little on blind steals.)
I would not recommend Party Poker's
"action" to anybody. The only angle
that might be worthwhile is to keep a
little money in a real money account to
maintain access to the freeroll
tournaments. They pay peanuts, but at
least it is tournament action.
As far as card integrity, I think that
the skew is OK at the 3-6 and above
levels. Between the hardcore rocks and
suspect distribution at the lower
limits, I would not mess with them,
unless you have the patience to wait for
premium cards, and are willing to use
money that you don't mind blinding off. |
| “fixed” by cap, 09 Sep 2005 |
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus: |
don't want to be the person to bring
this up, BUT...
My geek buddies and I did a pretty
extensive study of party poker (10,000)
hands. Paying special attention to
cash-out, deposits, brief periods of not
playing, and a number of other things
that would affect the profitability of
the poker room and I can say without a
doubt that the natural distribution of
cards was out of line. I obviously
can't prove that it's on purpose or
that it makes PP more money, BUT for the
10,000 hands that we looked at things
were askew. I don't want to ruffle any
feathers and want everyone to know that
I am up on pp over 20K in the last
year...so I'm not complaining!!!
It all got started when one of our group
saw 4 sets of quads in about two and a
half hours......FOUR. There were
several nights during the study that the
probability of seeing the hands that we
saw in the amount of hands that we
played was over 1 in 1,000,000!!!!!
I have a degree in statistics and have
made six figures 5 years in a row
playing poker. It's safe to say that
my figures are within a mouse fart of
being right.
Also, to all of you that think it's not
fixed...Just because you're winning
doesn't mean that the deal is truly
random.
We're currently studying another site
and I'll post again when we're
finished. |
| “Very happy so far” by baddy, 12 Jun 2005 |
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus: |
Signed up for PartyPoker the other day
and have been pretty happy with the site
overall. The initial bonus was $25 free
with a $50 deposit, which I thought was
pretty nice. You had to play 140 raked
hands to unlock it, but that went very
fast so it was no hurdle at all. There
are always a ton of players online, so
there is never any waiting at all for
Sit-And-Go tournaments to get enough
players. Also, for a small fee they have
a service that lets you purchase a phone
card with your credit card and then
convert it into PartyPoker money -- this
is very useful when you have credit
cards that do not allow online gambling
transactions (both of mine are like
this). Also, I have cashed out twice to
Neteller and both times it has only
taken a couple of hours to be approved
and in my Neteller account. My only
gripe would be a lack of lower limit
tournaments, the cheapest Sit-And-Go is
$5+$1, and I like playing lower stakes
sometimes on other sites. Many people
comment about there being a ton of
newbies on here, well they definitely
are there but you find good players
also. Obviously the higher stakes you
play, the less likely you will be to
encounter them... but why you would NOT
want to play with a poor player is
beyond me. |
| “Games rigged?” by another dropping by, 01 Apr 2005 |
Interface: Action: Support:  Fish: Bonus: |
Totally agree with dropping by.
Game winning or losing is not decided
either by skill or luck of players, but
by software. Software set ups the
outcome of games. Don't expect you win
the game which you should win 99% at
real casinos. The card patterns are not
like the ones at a real casino. In 1
session, try counting how many times you
get same suit cards, how many times you
get pocket pairs, how many times you get
2 face cards, how many times you hold
connecting and/or same suit cards, how
many times after the flop, you are flush
draws or straight draws, how often
players get 3 of a kind, etc.....then
compare to the real casino....
Same thing at Paradise's.
I believe, if you play at this places
long enough, you can guess which cards
comimg out next...and win or...lose.
Statistic, peercent odds, all math
stuffs....don't apply here. Example,
you hold A/K club, and the flop comes
Q/J club, 10 spade. Just don't raise or
reraise like a crazy, because you will
get mad at the river card.
Just try memorize the card patterns, it
will help. Keep away the pots which has
somebody 'all-in'. 'All-in' wins
most of the time, so they can keep on.
(how nice the software). Again, no math
or odds involves here. Only the software
decide who'll win the pot.
Play here if you don't care your skills
messed up. |
| “PartyPoker Never Again” by JohnnyT812, 24 Dec 2004 |
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus: |
admit it, I'm new to this Poker craze.
I even love this new found ESPN/Travel
Channel trained crowd of newbies and
fish. Being a sound, semi-pro rated
blackjack player who reads and studies
almost every avenue of the game, I
finnaly found an escape from the
over-bearing house advantage at
blackjack. I rarely play blackjack now,
the casino's and the "newbies" who
jump into the game have ruined it in my
opinion. Sure, the house counts on these
fish to make their cash cow go. And
sure, poker players count on the
injection of newbies to make their
money. But PartyPoker plainly lacks the
customer support (not almost
non-existent, TOTALY non-existent).
Thier rake is way out of bounds,
especially on SnG's. Ease of Game? I
guess for those who refuse to study and
strive to become world-class players,
PartyPoker is the best. It is the site
for "No-Fold 'em Hold'em" style
play. For those of you who rave about
PartyPoker "if you don't know who the
mark is......". PartyPoker is what it
is because of the fish and for those of
you into Poker for the short haul there
will never be another site like it. Fish
aplenty. As for me, I prefer to up my
game and not be satisfied with simply
beating a bunch of maniacs who wish to
try their luck at the "game" of Poker.
Poker, unlike any other form of gaming,
is to be played with style and honor.
The river rats at PartyPoker, and you so
called "skilled" players who bring
yourselves down to this level simply to
cash in on the un-suspecting, lack the
class and honor that Poker deserves in
the gaming world. Way too many repeat
hands (how about A3o three times in a
row) and way too many repeat flops (I
actually flopped QQ8 three times in a
row, four times in ten rounds). To make
that this site is anything more than a
place for fish and those who prey on
them by refusing to give up on medium
hands to the river, it plays out far too
many times here. The tourney's are
geared towards thier own tourney's and
never towards any others. I have figured
out how to play @ PartyPoker - play it
like a video game, open up three tables
or more during tourney or ring and take
note of the similarity of the cards.
Play two or more tables and notice the
familarity of not only your pocket but
the flop, turn, or river. Go on a draw,
watch the other table, and you can bet
like a wild man, if one table his your
flush, you can bet without fail the
other will too. THIS is NOT Poker - it
is a video/cyberspace replica of Al
Capones "Mirrored" Poker room. (Al had
his room set up with mirrors all around
except behind his own seat). So, to all
of you who only play PP - do not go to
FullTilt, Doyle's, or any site where
skill, patient, or learned players are
at. If you aspire only to play fish, PP
is the place for you. It's your choice,
continue along with the skill level it
takes to take money from losers and
beginners and that's where you'll stay
- at that skill level. PartyPoker IS the
room for you. |
| “PartyPoker Review” by SeriousPlayer, 03 Dec 2004 |
Interface: Action: Support: Fish: Bonus: |
Ok, a couple things, there is no online
poker room that's totally perfect for
everyone - if the interface is awesome,
there's not enough action (UltimateBet,
PokerRoom, Superior, Full Tilt). If
there's plenty of ring game action,
maybe the tournament action is weak
(PartyPoker, EmpirePoker charge too much
for SnG's). A room can have great
tournament action, but nothing else
(PokerStars).
But I would say the over-riding factor
is making money, I mean that is probably
the main reason most of us play poker.
It's fun and social, but it's about
winning money.
I am a ring-game player. 10 Player
games are my thing, but I'll play 6
too. Clearly, PartyPoker (and
EmpirePoker) is the best poker room for
me. There is unlimited ring game action
at all stakes, at all times, any day. I
can play 4 tables simultaneously at any
stakes I want without any delays.
Searching for the right table to play at
is part of my game. Searching for just
any table with a seat is ridiculous.
IMHO, the fish are not as plentiful at
PartyPoker (and EmpirePoker) as perhaps
1 year ago, but you can still find easy
tables that will pay you off.
And for you bonus hunters, there is no
poker room bonus that is easier to reach
than PartyPoker (and EmpirePoker).
Have fun. |
