Player`s review Party Poker
We've all heard of Party Poker. It's one of the oldest, the biggest, and fishiest of all the poker rooms on the web. Because I assume that we've all played on it (since it was the second site I ever played on regularly,) I can also assume that we've all seen it, played it, and been able to form our own opinions on it, so almost anything you can read on this article about one of the originators should seem rather redundant. You don't even need to read this to go there, you know. I played a lot of Limit tournament on Party when I started, in part because when I started playing I'd assumed that Limit would be an easier game to win. That was the first time that I maxed out my play money balance. Then I went to No Limit with my initial balance reimbursed (I think the level was $2000 chips then; I don't know what it is now) and played on the play money tourneys for the next couple of months. It was one of the early sites for all of us, and sold itself as one of the better learning-oriented sites around. And it definitely has the variety-- they've got the whole gamut in cash games, from Omaha Hi Lo on down to the old faithful No Limit-- so the feast the real players have will be plentiful. Party Poker has some cooler features on it for learning than many of the other play money sites: Not only are the avatars in the actual game screens a whole lot clearer than some of the older early sites, but party was the only site that I knew of that gave you the ability to keep notes on other players, to keep track of your hand history, and a handful of other useful statistics to help learn my particular styles and rhythms as a poker player. On the other hand, the site has a problem with a pretty slow tech staff when it comes to problems with chip recovery and the system's a little buggy over all, so it can get rather frustrating for those who want a smoother user experience insofar as customer service goes. You play party poker to be able to track methods of the some of the worst regular online poker players in the market, so that until you're able to get to the middle-limit table levels, you have to sift through a lot of very erratic players to get there. The site allows for multiple tables at once, though, so if you're there just to learn (or are somewhere outside of the US, you lucky buggers you) you should be able to get some good action out of playing multiple cash games at once. Half of those players really are just shoving chips onto the table to see how big they can get the pot. I wondered half the time whether Party Poker intentionally brought all of those horrendous, loose players onto the site for the rest of us to live off of |
