Key Tournaments
Game Variety
Texas Hold’em is offered at Party Poker in all incarnations, as well as Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7 Card Stud, and 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo. No Limit Hold’em is still the most popular game, but there is plenty of action at the others, which come in all limit versions. Heads up tables are available, as are short handed and full sized. While stakes are not as high as some other sites go, there is a nice range from very small to high stakes tables.
Traffic
Party Poker has a very nice cash game community, with traffic topping 9,000 in peak times. Nearly all game types have players around the clock, but the highest concentration will be found in the Hold’em games.
Rake
The rake at Party Poker is skewed in favor of the higher staked games, and is well above the industry standard in many circumstances. The rake can be as high as 10% in games up to $1/$2. Rakes in higher staked games are slightly better.
Competition
Party Poker is known for being a “fishy” site, with loose games even in the middle- to high stake arena. Tough games can be found, however, so prospective fishers are advised to check out the viewed flop percentages in the lobby.
Support
Phone support is recommended at Party Poker, where the 24/7 support staff responds quickly and accurately. Email support is available as well, as the Party Poker support email is info@partypoker.com
