Party Poker Presentation
The presentation of the site is overall pretty good. The lobby is pretty busy looking which is not that appealing but from a usability stance it has everything that you need. Games are easy to find and the graphics are above average. From a personal view point we were impressed with the amount of information available to you including the rules of the game that you are playing.
Party Poker Software
This is by far the worlds largest online room. There have been a series of upgrades over the last few years to cope with the volume of players that they regularly have playing on site. This volume has surpassed 100,000 at times. The lobby has most of the statistical information that you need although view flop percentages are not available. This is a real loss as it is not so easy to locate the nice juicy games, of which there are plenty. On the plus side hands played per hour and average pot is displayed (calculated over the last 20 hands) as is the number of players waiting to be seated.
The software supports Holdem in no-limit, limit and pot limit, Omaha, 7-Card-Stud High and 7-Card-Stud Hi-Lo and heads up poker. The software allows up to 4 different tables to be played at the same time. There is also a re-sizing option which allows you to resize as many tables as you have open (up to 4 max) in order that you can fit perfectly to your screen. In addition the site allows black jack play, deal-making, and side bets while playing poker. The software also allows you some personal statistics. You can take player notes and hand histories are all available.
A redesign carried out in September 2008 has now also improved the table views and features. You can now personalize your player image by uploading your own picture or choosing one from their library . Multi-tabling is now easier to manage: Players can open new tables directly from the one they’re at, arrange them to suit their screen, and catch all the action with customizable alerts. The action area has been made more user-friendly, making placing bets easy.

Party Poker Promotions
There is always an abundance of promotions going on at this top room. In addition to our $500 deposit bonus for you here are some of the things that you can look forward to.
Guaranteed Prize Pools
The minimum prize pool is guaranteed on all tournaments, from a $1 rebuy to a $530 NL Freezeout. If just five people sit down to play a $300,000 tournament, they´ll share a minimum $300,000 prize pool.
Tournament Leader Boards
They have created a unique point system for their tournament leader board that will tell you who's in the lead and the number of points that the current leader has earned by winning tournaments at PartyPoker.com. If you're one of their leaders, you'll enjoy extra bonuses and rewards.
Earn Party Points
PartyPoints is the rewarding new loyalty scheme from PartyGaming. Earn valuable PartyPoints every time you play a game on any site. Redeem PartyPoints for cash at any time.
Extra Option for Deal Makers
Check out the improvements to their deal making feature. Now you have two choices for deal payout's, based on either the current chip count or a custom set of pay outs. You can make a deal for all the money and end the tournament, or you can leave a portion of the prize pool to play for. As before, no deal is completed until all of the players confirm the deal. Selecting 'Yes' on the final table commits you to discussing a deal, but not necessarily making one. Deal making is available for most real money multi-table tournaments with a cash-only prize pool.

Party Poker Traffic / Popularity
Well what can we say. Party Poker is by far the leader in online traffic. Again, the site is now used to hosting games for over 100,000 simultaneous players. Peak traffic in ring games often reaches up to 15,000 - 20,000 real money players. Tournament traffic is just awesome. Partypoker.com hosts the most online poker tournaments worldwide. Traffic often reaches as high as 90,000. There are also a good number of tournaments hosted in 7 Card Stud and Omaha.

Fish Factor
The site has some very loose games which is hardly surprising considering the volume of players that play on the site. The site attracts players from all over the world, some experienced and some who just want to see what it is all about. As such there are a ton of fish around. Unfortunately the games that have these players in them are somewhat protected as view flop percentages are not shown. Historically you would generally need to look in the lower limit games to find soft opponents. Not so here as the site has such a vast amount of players. You will very often find very loose games in the middle limit stakes (up to $5-$10).

Party Poker Customer Service / Support
The customer service is excellent. You can contact the customer services team by email, phone or live support. Support response times are always nearly instant with all our live support trials being responded to in under 45 seconds. There is also a FAQ section on the site which is pretty thorough and answers most general questions. You will find the staff very knowledgeable and willing to help which is also good. So pretty good all round considering the challenge they face in supporting up to 100,000 players.

Complaints on Record
We have had a few complaints around server issues and tournament interruptions, likely due to the number of players on the site. The last upgrade was in February and seems to have taken care of these issues as they have added additional servers to cope with demand.
