Party Poker Review

Editor’s Opinion
Party Poker is without question an amazing online poker room. They have created the world’s largest online poker room through aggressive marketing and promotion. Even though the graphics are not overwhelming they have become the mainstream poker room where all poker players have an account. Party Poker has it all; great promotions, loads of tournaments and action on different limits and game types 24/7. You can always find a soft game somewhere on PartyPoker. Actually the only downside is that Mac users can only play at Party Poker if they use Virtual PC - Party Poker could use a non-download client.

Features
Party Poker has the most necessary features integrated in their software platform such as hands history and player notes. You can also choose four color decks, disable sound and turn most of the features on or off. A new an interesting integrated feature is deal making which enables players at the final table of an online poker tourney to enter a binding deal and split the prize money. Another nice feature is the possibility to make side bets.

Poker Games Offered
Party Poker is the world’s largest online poker room, and there is plenty of action for most of the popular poker variations. Limit and no-limit Texas Holdem are the most popular games, but also seven-card stud and Omaha games are available. Omaha can be found in Hi Hi/Lo, pot-limit, no-limit and fixed limit variations, while the 7-card stud games are fixed-limit.

Software and Graphics
Party Poker’s software is nothing extraordinary from a graphical perspective, but it is nicely structured and the interface works well. The main focus is on playing poker games, and the table designs are structured so you can play multiple tables at once without being distracted by graphics. The games run fast and from a gaming experience the software reliability is top-notch.

Player traffic
PartyPoker is without question the world’s largest online poker site measured by the number of ring game players. Party Poker used to co-operate with other skins, but at the end of 2005 they decided to drop this co-operation and continue on their own.
