Party Poker has a very strong, recognizable brand name. A few years ago before the UIGEA debacle, Party Poker was the worlds biggest site, and rightly so. Since that fateful day in late 2006 partypoker has suffered a slight decline in number. This was due to a new ruling causing them to pull out of the US market. Things have surely changed on the Party Poker front but its not so bad as initially feared. Party Poker remains firmly in the top 3 trafficked sites in the world, keeping ahead of many sites using a loophole in the system to continue accepting US players. If you are a non American resident, this site should be on your shortlist.

Player Traffic at Party Poker

Back in 2006, the UIGEA put paid to US players playing at Party Poker. Due to shareholder issues they had no option but to withdraw their support to US based players. At that time, PartyPoker had a huge US following and were sitting pretty, they were the undisputed number place to play for online poker players, worldwide.

The UIGEA was a crushing blow for Party Poker and it looked as if the site might be doomed to mediocrity. Not so, they switched their attentions to the European market. They continued to offer great incentives, be it bonuses, quality or game selection. They are still ranked in the top three in the world, and that excludes their huge American following.

Player traffic is not anywhere near as impressive as pre UIGEA days but still immense. You will never be short of a game, 24/7.

Player Competition at Party Poker

Personally I have found the competition at Party Poker to be fairly weak at the mid to low stakes. I know many of my friends disagree with that statement but I have found there is an abundance of fish on the site. Either way, as a large site, you will always find your fish and sharks. I don't think there is a major difference in standard at most sites. The best thing about Party Pokers large player base is that if you are careful with your table selection you should be able to find some rich pickings. All I can suggest to you on the matter is stick to a level you are comfortable with and allow the fish to swim to you.

Overview of Party Poker

The site facilitates for multitabling which is a major plus for me. The player traffic is excellent. The constant flow of reload bonuses are superb. As I am giving you an honest evaluation of the site I need to tell you, with all their positives, I just cannot get my head around the site. I am not impressed with their new look and the software is a little laggy on my PC. I will still play there when I see a juicy tournament coming, I can confidently refer others to the site, most players love it, but it's just not for me.

If my review hasn't put you off why not give PartyPoker.com a try?
