Party Poker Site Review: First Impressions

Party Poker's welcome pageThough Party Poker may not be the iconic site that it was in yesteryear, it doesn’t slouch in the bonuses and offers that are important to the typical player.

The new player bonus they offer is $500 up to $500, comparable with many other rooms. But they also offer $100 freerolls three times daily, the top players of which qualify for the $2,500 weekly freeroll, the top players of which qualify for the $10,000 monthly freeroll.

New players also have a $1,500 weekly freeroll all to themselves, who may choose to play at the ultra-soft low-limit new player tables for up to two months after their first deposits. Play Party Poker for fun: click to download now!

As if there weren’t enough freerolls on Party Poker, they also offer daily regional $150 freerolls that add up to about $100,000 monthly. Another $300,000 is set aside for a weekly guaranteed tournament, 50 seats of which are given away through freerolls and satellites. That’s only part of the approximate $6 million in guaranteed tournaments offered each month.

Party Poker keeps innovating with sit-and-goes as well, offering a “step” tournament consisting of 6 different tables where players can turn $3 into $2000—if they’re good enough to win all six. Furthermore, Party Poker saves its sit-and-go players money by capping entry fees for $200+ games at $10.

Party Poker Site Review: features

Party Poker has all of the industry standard features, including some extras that are above and beyond.

On the website, they offer a Texas Hold'em hand analyzer, which you can input specific hands into to learn nicknames, early round strategies, and trivia for those hands.

In-game features include a play-money AI Party Poker trainer, which advises you on hand strategy real-time and percentages that reflect approximately how often you’ll win, lose, or tie the hand. You can set your own avatar picture or change the seating arrangement so you can sit anywhere on the table while retaining the order.

Lobby features include a favorites list for tables and two different types of lobby views that allow you to search through tables by characteristics like size, fullness, game type, or stakes.

Party Poker offers large, clear action buttons as well as preset actions. The auto re-buy feature ensures that you'll always have the maximum number of chips in play at no-limit and pot-limit games. Pots are listed on the screen and divided into main and side pots. Actions in the header bar allow for separate chat windows and quickly manager the multiple resizable windows you might have open.

Party Poker Site Review: Player Fishiness

The competition has hardened some since the old days, and while medium- and high-stakes games have some legitimate sharks around, the low-stakes games are still generally soft competition.

Heads-up Sit and Go at Party Poker

Despite not allowing US players, Party Poker continues to be one of the biggest poker rooms around--- some estimates place it in the top 3 largest (well above some other rooms that do accept US players) while others count the number of players online during peak times at around 10,000.

Party Poker Site Review: Conclusion

Party Poker remains a significant force in online poker, even without a US player base. They are one of only a few rooms which actively accept different currencies (US Dollars, Euros, and Pounds Sterling). They offer extensive FAQs, toll-free phone and email support.

History of Party Poker

The poker craze has its roots in a TV program called the World Poker Tour. People watched this show, captivated by the action and omniscient to all considerations and decided to themselves, individually yet simultaneously, ‘I could do better.’

As the sponsor of the WPT, Party Poker became the main hub for the ultra-accessibility and immediate satisfaction of online poker. For a time, Party Poker was online poker. I talk about the venerable old men of online poker, but among rooms like PokerStars and Pacific Poker, Party Poker takes seniority. In fact, Party Poker is one of the reasons why the poker rooms are generally well-developed in terms of image and marketing.

Pokerstars scooped up the WSOP champions and Full Tilt Poker consolidated their pros to show how they were different from the rest of the field, i.e., Party Poker.

It was only after June of 2006 when the US passed a "law" banning online betting (and poker as a function thereof), that Party Poker took a dive in its standing. It reacted to the passage of the bill by dropping service to all US players.

This action had a huge effect on the poker landscape as US players flocked to sites that were still offering USA poker. Consequentially, Party Poker’s player base is distilled to mostly, though not exclusively, European players.
