Party Poker Review
At the very beginning of the century, Party Poker ruled the online poker world.
Traffic took a big hit back in 2006 when they were forced to
leave the U.S. market. Since then, they have continually
added more and more poker players. Right now, there has
been over thirty million downloads of the Party Poker software.
Party Poker is currently the second largest online poker room,
with only Pokerstars being bigger.
Peak hour traffic is during the late afternoon in Canada. This is
also when Party Poker will turn into a poker room that is filled
with poker players across Europe, into a poker room that is full of
Canadians. You may notice a difference in playing style
at Partypoker.com depending on the time of the day that you are
playing poker. You may want to adjust your own playing style
depending on whether you are playing a poker game at 2:00pm,
5:00pm or 9:00pm. You can also figure out relatively
quickly what time is most profitable for you.
Party
Poker is one of the few poker rooms, that I would not worry
about having a big bankroll on. They are owned by a large
publicly traded company in the UK. They have been in
operation since 2001 and built a reputation with integrity and
have treated their players with respect. Party Poker used to
be the most overrated online poker room, but that has since
changed. Around five years ago they started to update their
software, started giving out some insane promotions (like no
rake in their poker tournaments for an entire month) and a
larger welcome bonus. It is also a better poker room now,
because so many other online poker rooms have proved be complete
failures. If you are from Canada, there is no reason why
you should ever settle for a shady online poker room.
Okay enough about the company. I got to tell you what the Party Poker online poker room
is like.
There is tens of thousands of players logged
in during the peak hours, many of which are Canadian online
poker players. Most of the players are relatively new to
online poker and are fairly easy to beat when compared to other
popular online poker rooms. The Party Poker new player
promotions help drive fresh poker players into their poker
tables. New players can take advantage of a
100% deposit bonus up to $500
which is easy to earn, free poker tournaments for beginners and
the $0.02/$0.04 poker tables. Reasons why players keep on
coming back are the easy games, the lowest rake for high stake
tournaments, the simple loyalty reward system that returns 40%
of your rake back and the Monthly Million poker tournament.
