- General:
Party Poker had more players than any other room until late 2006 where the US poker ban became a fact. Party quickly accepted the law, and gave up the mayority of their players. How big Party was, is underlined by the fact that they still have excellent traffic in all games, at all times! There are many other advantages with Party Poker, such as loose games, a loyalty program, special events, free money every now and then and the extreme amount of large tournaments. The software has just been updated and looks extremely well.
Fish
Party Poker has always maintained their juicy games, with the constant influx of beginners and gamblers looking for action. There are plenty of fish moving around at most limits, but when dealing with a poker giant like Party Poker, there are always all types of players, including the very good ones!
Traffic
Players during peak hours:
Cash-games: up to 9.500
Tournaments: up to 60.000
Despite a heavy loss in traffic, you can always find the exact cash game youre looking for, and tournament traffic is amongst the highest in the world!.
Software
The software has just received the makeover it has needed for some time, and it looks just lovely! You have all the features youŽll ever need including a very smooth table resizing option. You can choose to auto resize all open tables, which will resize and spread out perfect on the screen. Overall, the software is top notch in functionality and liability, and now also when it comes to graphics and navigation. Furthermore, you can choose to see the old software version if you donŽt fancy changes.
Tournaments
Despite a severe loss in traffic, Party is still amongst the worlds most popular tournament sites. Texas Holdem tournaments run 24/7, hosting half of all online fixed limit Texas Holdem tournaments in the world! Party Poker has qualifiers for all the big live, with qualifiers at all levels.
