Party Poker: Party Poker Room
built 621 days ago
The oft-cited traffic at Party Poker is one, but certainly not the only, worthwhile reason to give this behemoth a chance to impress. It goes without saying that the biggest and most popular rooms on the Internet must be doing a lot of things correctly to attract and keep up their traffic figures. Considering the number of new online rooms opening all the time, Party Poker’s dominance in this area becomes even more impressive.

With over 70,000 live online players the Party Poker Room is by far the largest online poker site. Listed on the London Stock Exchange! Where others struggle to fill up their poker tables, at Party Poker thousands of tables fill up quickly. The poker room is visited by players from all over the world, day and night!

Software: The Party Poker software has all the basic features that are needed on a good poker site. The ability to play multi-tables, hand history review, player to player account transfers, player search (online fish finder), and table stats such as "average pot size". The graphics is about average, compared to other rooms.

Despite the lack of a great bonus or any particularly lucrative playing options, Party Poker’s unique image and status maintain the site as a very profitable proposition. Its sheer size and advertising power means that it is a place where players looking for a first online poker site are more likely than not going opt for, yet, it does not have the range of micro-limit table at which these players would normally be found. This results in some loose and juicy pickings at the no limit hold’em cash tables particularly. There isn’t the same variety of jackpot games as at, for instance, any of the iPoker rooms such as Noble Poker or Titan Poker, but there are options for players wanting to make a lot from a little. One of these is the ‘steps’ games in which you can qualify for $50 sit-and-go through a $10 sit-and-go. Most profit from Party Poker though is derived from playing on a site swimming with beginners, yet with few safe havens in which they can hide.

Established in 2001, Party Poker had quickly become the Internet’s fastest-growing online poker room. Daily, thousands of players crammed the tables, making it easy to find a game whenever you’re up to playing. In fact, during peak hours, Party Poker often had more than 70,000 players online at a time! All this came crashing down when Party Poker made the decision to no longer accept US players in the fall of 2006 as a response to US legislation. They had lost roughly 70% of their player base and now don’t even show the current player count on their main lobby page. They are slowly recovering though but they have lost their number one ranking as the world’s largest online poker room.

Once the largest online poker room with a reported 5 million users, Party Poker has been overtaken by Poker Stars and Full Tilt Poker. However there are still 10,000 cash players and 60,000 tournament players during the busiest times. Due to the number of players from all over the globe a game can generally be found quickly no matter the time of day.
