Party Poker started trading way
back in 2001, and has earned the title of
being one of the best and most liked online
poker sites that is around today. Party
Poker offer
more tournaments with bigger prize funds
than any other site. Party Poker has the largest
player base, this is unfortunately with out
the aid of American players as players from
the states are sadly not allowed at Party
Poker.
One other thing against Party Poker is customer
services, they outsource the customer
service telephone calls and e-mails which
has caused a lot of complaints as the
customer sevices reps are not 100% fluent in
English this can cause some confusion some
times and can take a little while to
resolve. But apart from this Party Poker should be
a place to try out as you will be happy
playing there. At Party Poker they have introduced
a unique twist to their real money multi
table tournaments called Deal Making.
Deal making allows
players at the final table of a tournament
to make a deal for all or part of the
remaining prize pool. Deal making is part of
the automated process that allows players to
choose pre-determined deal structures and
custom payouts. A deal can only be made if
all of the remaining players are happy with
the deal and want it to happen. If just 1
out of 10 is unhappy the deal will not go
ahead.
SOFTWARE
The Party Poker software can be
downloaded for Mac, Linux and PC which
means its totally universal so players with
all major platforms will be found playing
here.
At Party Poker the software is
usually fast even at peak times. And they
have made a program that very rarely crashes
or goes down.
Party Poker is often updating
bits of their software and underwent a major
revamp just over a year ago (Oct 08) which
added some nice features including nice
crisp looking tables and lobby. They now
have a quick seat feature, customisable
aviators which you can even put you own
photo on. They also have a live action
preview. And have a few enhanced features
for multi tabling.
If you sign up to Party
Poker
through this site you will be awarded with a
massive 100% match up to $500. From time to
time they run a reload bonus of anywhere
between 15 and 20 percent.
