Rake:
The rake is average on the higher limit tables, at 5%, but reaches up
to 10% on the lower limit tables, making them a less attractive proposition.
Traffic: PartyPoker is the most popular poker room
on the internet, with up to 15,000 ring game players actively playing.
During peak tournament times the traffic rises to an incredible 70,000!
Software And Features:
Despite these massive traffic volumes, the software is slick and robust,
with very few delays or disconnections, due to constant server upgrades
over the previous couple of years. The graphics are simple and effective,
with avatars to represent players. You can take player notes and view
player game play history. An innovative feature of the software is the
Deal Making facility, which allows players at the final table in a tournament
to make deals to split the prize money. Other players can take side bets
on the action. There are many more cool features, like an auto-resize
function that fits multiple tables neatly on your desktop. Private tables
can also be created.
Supported Games And Limits:
All standard types of poker are offered, except for 5-Card Stud. You
can play Limit, Pot Limit and No Limit Hold`em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7-Card
Stud and 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo. Limits range from 5c/$1 to $100/$200.
Deposit And Withdrawal Options:
Deposit options: NETeller, FirePay, Citadel, Visa, Mastercard, Diners
Club, iGM-Pay eCheck, Switch, Solo, ePassporte, Moneybookers, Phone Connect
Card, Easy Buy phone card, electronic transfer, Euro Standard bank transfer,
Money Transfer, Wire Transfer, ELV electronic transfer.
Withdrawals: NETeller, Visa, Switch, Solo, ePassporte, Moneybookers,
wire transfer, check.
Competition:
Due to PartyPoker`s popularity and constant growth, you will find
some of the loosest competition around, even at pretty high limits - up
to $5/$10. At the lower limits you can make killing among the newbies
and gamblers that abound at this poker room.
Player Services:
PartyPoker`s support is impressive, given the volume of players. It
is available 24/7, telephonically or by email.
Downsides:
Not much is not good about this poker room, except perhaps for the
relatively high rake at the lower limit tables.
The hand play history statistics could also be more detailed.
