Party Poker Review

Game variants

Party Poker offers a wide selection of games with Limits, No limits & Pot Limits. They have:

* Texas Hold抏m
* Omaha & Omaha Hi/Lo
* 7 Card Stud & 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo
* Bad Beat Jackpots

They also host tournaments, both multi tables as well as single table. They offer special satellite tournaments for bigger events like Million Dollar guaranteed World Poker tournaments etc. Lower limit games are usually difficult to crack and players make profit out of middle levels.

Special New Features

Compared to other websites, our review felt Party Poker has a strong determination to improve them so as to keep abreast with the latest technologies. A website designed with elegancy has almost all the features you can look for. An easy to navigate lobby has an advanced search facility to pick your choice of game with ease. Some of the newly added features include:

* Multi monitor support: facilitates multi tabling with no more difficulty
* Average pot: for selecting the table of your preference.
* Time banks: for ring games
* Tournament calendars: helps you to manage your tournament details.
* New decks and themes for more customization.

Apart from all this the functionality of 慟uick seats?and Key board short cuts have also been improvised to give you better gaming experience.
Their sign up bonus is 100% up to $500. They also have various ongoing promotions, the latest being the 慚illion Dollar race?
Rakes and Limit

With a wide range of selection, almost all the games are available in limit, No limit and pot limits. No limit games range from $0.02/$0.04 to $25/$50. Limit games ranges from 0.05/$0.10 to $250/$500. The above statistics holds good for Texas Hold抏m. Similarly both Omaha and 7 Card Stud have their own ranges defined.
The rake system for Party Poker is not as attractive as its other features. The higher-limit games have a comparably low rake. The rake runs as high as 10% in $0.50/$1 and $1/$2 games, and $0.50 is raked when the pot reaches $5. The same is applicable for tournaments, with higher limits taking low rakes.
