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.

Tournaments and Poker Tables

Player traffic is not an issue at Party Poker.  There is always enough players to keep the poker tables going and enough players to set up poker tournaments on a regular basis.
    There is a good amount of poker players at the poker tables at Party Poker.  There is players playing at the $0.02/$0.04 poker tables, the mid stake tables and the high stake poker tables.  You should be able to find a poker table that suits your playing style for your most popular poker game.
    There is a variety of Texas Hold'em, Omaha and Seven Card Stud poker tournaments to choose from.  There is a good selection of low stakes, mid stakes and some high stakes poker tournaments at Party Poker.  The most popular poker tournaments are the Sunday $250,000, the Monthly $1,000,000 poker tournament and the WPT Qualifiers.  The high stake poker tournaments have a flat $10 entry fee instead the regular 10%, which is extremely cheap for an online poker room.  You can play Texas Holdem, Double Holdem, Omaha, Omaha H/L, 7-Card Stud and 7-Card H/L inside the Partypoker room.
