Party Poker Review
7.75 / 10
Party Poker is the world's biggest online poker room. They even had more than a 100,000 players logged on at the same time, wow! And yes, there is a huge amount of "fish" just waiting at Party Poker.
The software looks a bit outdated but is fast and functions well which amounts to many hands per hour. But unfortunately not everything is to my liking. For instance they don't have heads-up tables which I now and then like to play.
Another thing is the annoying option which allows the player to make "side-bets" or play blackjack! Something that the serious poker player should stay away from. Remember, we want to use our skill against the other players, not play games of "chance". For players on a budget it's important to know that the rake at the lower limits is fairly high.
With all this said I still think that Party Poker is a very good place to play at, especially at the middle and high limits since there are many bad players, and always games going on, and not just on weekends. It's also very easy to find a level that suits one since they have games ranging from $0.5-1 to $100-200!
The support is reachable 24/7 by phone, online chat and email. Their answers aren't always to my liking but at least they do answer. I personally prefer the online chat since its less hassle than calling them or having to wait for an email.
