The rake at this room is pretty stock standard. This
online poker room did offer better value for the
lower limit games, but is now the standard 5 per
cent, capped at $3 for the medium limit games. For
the lower limit games a max of $1 for $1/$2 games
and 50 cents for $0.5/$1 games is taken out of the
pot. However, this is only taken if the pot reaches
$20 and $5 respectively, which is not a bad deal.
For higher limit games Party Poker offers pretty
good value with significantly less than 5 per cent
taken out of each pot.
Party Poker is the largest poker room on the
internet, there is no waiting around for games to

I was first introduced to Party poker whilst in my
"search" for the site that suited me best. This was
one of the first sites I played, and although I
found it easy to maneuver within, my full impression
was not overwhelming.
Pros: Lots of people, new
players generally start here due to advertising
Cons: Lots of people, cheesy
cartoon people at table
I really don't know what can be said about Party
Poker apart from the fact that you'll either love it
or hate it. I know where I sit in this scale but I
will try and not influence any others.
Pros: advertising creates lots
of action, big wins
Cons: too much action, bad
beats, big losses
My favorite place to play right now is PartyPoker.
What I like most about this site is the amount of
action produced by their advertising. It's amazing
that the pros and cons contradict one another. I
guess it all depends on if you're winning on
PartyPoker or...
