Party Poker is the largest online poker room with over 70,000
players online at most times. There are always games of all
sizes and limits available including Texas Hold'em, Omaha,
Omaha/8, 7 Card Stud and 7 Stud/8. There are around the clock
multi player and sit-n-go tournaments as well as ring games.
They have very fast payouts that are usually received in less
than 24 hours. Currently they offer two different sign up bonus
options. You can receive a 20% bonus up to $100 on your first
deposit by using the bonus code MONGER or clicking
Party100, or a flat first time deposit bonus of $25 by
clicking
Party25. Limit Texas holdem is offered from .50/1 to 100/200 and no limit and pot limit Texas holdem are both offered with buy ins from $25 to $2,000. Every limit has multiple full games available at every hour of the day. The low level games are full of poor players, but as you advance to the higher limits you will find the competition to get better. Up to and including 10/20 though, still has many profitable games available. To profit from the higher games you need to be a top notch player. Limit Omaha/8 is offered from .50/1 to 20/40 and pot limit Omaha/8 is offered with buy ins from $25 to $2,000. The low level games, particularly the pot lit ones, are filled with poor players who play far too many hands. A patient player can show huge profits at the lower limits, but the swings can be bad as you will receive many bad beats from players chasing every imaginable draw. Limit Omaha high is available from .50/1 to 15/30 and pot limit Omaha high is spread with buy ins from $25 to $2,000. The high limit tables don't run full all of the time and the middle buy in pot limit games, $600 and $1,000, aren't always full, but the other limits are usually busy. 7 Card Stud is available in limit from .50/1 to 20/40 with full games at every limit. 7 Card Stud high low split, or hi lo, is spread from .50/1 to 10/20 with full games at each limit. There are very few players, especially at the lower limits, that know how to play 7 Card Stud high low well, so if you are a solid player you will do well. Party Poker has both high hand tables and bad beat jackpot tables and the bad beat jackpot often climbs to over $500,000. To qualify for the bad beat jackpot, you have to be playing at one of the designated tables and have four-of-a-kind eights or better beaten and both hole cards from both hands must play. An extra fee, which I believe is .50 per hand, is taken at these tables to fund the jackpot. The bad beat tables are available in limit Texas holdem from 2/4 to 15/30. Sit N Go tournaments are available with buy ins from 5+1 to 200+15. They also run a variation on the sit-n-go tournaments called Party Steps that are a series of tournaments that you start with a small buy in and can win a large prize pool by doing well in the series. There are also two and three table sit-n-go tournaments available with buy ins from 5+1 to 50+5. Multi table tournaments run around the clock with a new tournament starting roughly every ten minutes. The buy ins range from free, for the freerolls, to over $600 for the million dollar guarantee tournaments. The Party Poker software is nice and very user friendly. They offer play money tables and a free download of the software. Overall, Party Poker is one of the first places to look when you are trying to find an Internet poker room. From the fast payouts and huge player base to the great tournaments, you may never look for another room after trying Party Poker. Sign up today. (Just a quick note about the whole PartyPoker.com vs. PartyPoker.net thing: they are owned by the same company, but the .net version is ONLY for play money games, no real money games there at all. They launched that 2nd site so they could advertise on television in the USA while saying that their website isn't a gambling site.) |
