Party Poker has high traffic of real-money players playing during peak hours. Most of their traffic is their live games and their single table tournaments. They also have a lot of multi-table tournaments. They have a high buy-in tournament each day Friday-Sunday, which you can win an entry to through one of their satellites.

They only display the average pot size in the ring games, which could be quite frustrating. All in all, they provide you with little information about the games, recommend watching the game for a minute or two before joining to see how loose everyone is playing.

On your first Party Poker cashout may take a bit longer, but afterwards, the process is generally quick.

The competition is very soft, since there are a high volume of players you should definitely be able to find an easy game to play. With the live games the competition is wild, it’s not strange to see people go to the flop with a Q6.

Party Poker’s customer service Live Help feature is pretty helpful when it is available, some of the agents aren't as competent as you'd hope. They also have phone support, which is nice.
