Full Review : Party Poker

News: On October 9 of last year, Party Poker separated from their four skin sites and started operating independently - not sharing a player base any longer. Even through this, PartyPoker.com remains the world's largest poker table, with over 70,000+ live players, and more tournaments than you can shake a stick at.

The games are loose even up to the $30/$60 limits. During off peak hours, you can expect between 12,000 and 14,000 real money ring game players and in peak hours, between 25,000 and 28,000 real money tournament players.

The software is lightweight, fast to download, and easy to install. You'll be playing in minutes. Software has been upgraded over the years to continually improve the player experience. Quality of the software is better than average. Players can enjoy four simultaneous tables, but the view flop percentages are not presented, nor are the hands per hour rate. Players can take notes on play and other players for future reference and gain access to instant hand histories. Since the separation of the skin sites, players can now play at their own private tables as well. New features include black jack, deal-making, and side bets.

Tournament traffic for PartyPoker.com is the highest in the world. Players will find no-limit and limit Texas Hold 'Em, 7-card stud and Omaha games.

The rake at PartyPoker.com can be at high at 10% for the low limit games ($0.51/$1 and $1/$2), and $0.50 is raked when the pot reaches $5.00. Higher limit games have a comparably low rake.

PartyPoker.com can boast loose games due to the constant stream of new players and beginners creating accounts with this online poker room. Players can find loose games even up to $30/$60.

Bonuses and promotions abound. PartyPoker.com will match 20% up to $100 or give a $25.00 flat bonus when a minimum deposit of $50 is made. Check back at www.pokerroomdetective.com for updates on bonuses and promotions. Players can also enjoy bonuses for referrals. Frequent player bonuses are offered as well as points programs.

Finally, the technical support for PartyPoker.com is available 24x7. This includes telephone support which is often available in one minute or less.

With a wide variety of deposit and withdrawal options, loose games, a TON of tournaments, and excellent support, PartyPoker.com is an excellent choice for first time players, intermediate players.. and the pros!
