Party Poker Review
Note: This poker room does not allow U.S players.
Game Variety
Party Poker offers an excellent game variety, spreading Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud Hi,
Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo and Razz. It is also one of very few rooms to offer a complete selection of mixed games.
Most of the smaller limit poker games at Party Poker are concentrated on the No Limit games, but they offer limit, no limit,
and pot limit too and they have enough action for almost all of them at different poker variations.
All games are also offered in heads-up, shorthanded, and full table modes.
Game Traffic
Traffic in Party Poker used to be the best in the industry until the online gambling ban law came in United States. That
law forced Party Poker to stop allowing U.S players which has decreased their traffic by large.
However, traffic at Party Poker remains on top as they have managed to get many non-U.S players and growing at a rapid rate.
Soft Competition
Party Poker has always been home of the juiciest and softest poker games online and they have
not changed. The games (especially the mid limit games) are very soft games and heaven for the professional poker
player.
Rake
The rake at Party Poker is rather high and it is most costly at the lower limits.
The higher limit poker games pay relatively lower rakes.
Rake at lower limit games ($0.50/$1.00) can be up to 10% as a rake of $0.50 is taken as soon the pot
reaches $5.
This holds true for tournaments at Party Poker too as they rake 20% in $5 tournaments and 8% at $100 tournaments.
