No other site is as well known by non-players as Party Poker, even my Mum has heard of them! This ensures a constant stream of new players checking out the online games for the first time. When you see for yourself how easy some of the cash games, tournaments and SNGs at this site are then you will immediately understand why I rate Party Poker as one of the best online poker sites. Add to this the sports-betting fans who came over to Party via their Bwin merger, and you will see how they manage to host such constantly 'fishy' games. Party have innovative games (including the new Fast Forward Poker) and some very generous bonuses - particularly focused on keeping their current players happy - you will find this site as much fun as it was back in 2001 when online poker was brand new!

Party Poker Review 2013 - Spotlight On Cash Games
You will have a huge choice of the famous easy Party Poker cash games to choose from as soon as you log on - I'll break down the different options and combos starting with the most popular tables of all, No-Limit Holdem.
Stakes start at the tiny 1c / 2c blind games at Party, with 2c / 4c, 5c / 10c and 10c / 25c blinds taking us from the crazy-busy micro limits into the lower stakes games. You will find a long list of tables up to around $3 / $6 - with a choice of $5 / $10 games and the occasional higher stakes tables. You can choose from 2, 6 and 9 player tables and the optional bad-beat jackpot games which take an extra rake in exchange for giving you a shot at a huge jackpot if you get beaten with quad-8's or better. One extra to note is that Party now have anonymous heads-up games! You get to change your regular screen name every 6-months at the normal tables too. Some tables are designated as 'Speed' games, which are far faster than the regulars - disconnect protection is also advertised on some tables, though this is less of an issue with boardband web connections than it was when we played on dial-up!
Fixed limit holdem is popular at Party, and pot-limit betting is also offered. Party have their own innovative holdem game called 'Double Holdem'. You get dealt 3 hole-cards instead of 2 and choose one of them to be your 'key card', this is a fun game and runs in fixed limit and no limit format.
Omaha has a big following at Party Poker. With PLO, PLO8 and fixed limit variations running. I should note that the micro-stakes are not covered at the Omaha tables, where betting starts at 10c / 25c. Stud (including Hi-Lo) completes the line up.
Soft games and a huge selection to choose from make this one of the best sites for both beginners (who get 30 days in a 'beginners lounge' safe from the sharks!) and experienced players looking to build their bankroll. If Party would introduce deep stacked tables in 2012 they would quickly become a top recommendation.
Innovations: Party have a unique game called 'Double Holdem' where you are dealt 3 hole-cards and have to pick a 'key card' after the flop. This makes for a lot of big hands and is a refreshing change. You will also find a fast-fold poker game, called Fast-Forward Poker, in both Holdem and Omaha format.

Party Poker 2013 Review - Spotlight On Tournaments
There is no doubt that Party host some of the easiest poker tournaments online, with a cool $15,000,000 in guaranteed prizes every month. Tourneys are easy, right up to the mid-to-high stakes games - especially where there are satellite qualifiers for smaller bankroll players. While the list of games available is huge, especially during European evenings and at weekends, I sometimes get the feeling that there are only ever a few games starting around the same time which really suit my tastes... This is probably more due to the large number of variations and buy-ins which keep the recreational players happy at Party than anything they actually do wrong!
You will find standard NL limit holdem tournaments, speed games, speed rebuys (a very popular variation), knockouts, pure-knockouts, satellite qualifiers and many sub-qualifiers. You will find buy-ins starting at cents (well, Party Points too!) and going up to the big buy-in Sunday $200k guaranteed or the quarterly 'Party Million' events. You will find events covering weeks of tournaments, as well as special promotions, you will get extra rewards for high volume of play via tournament leader boards - but best of all... you'll get to enjoy some of the easiest tournaments anywhere online!
Party Poker 2013 Review - Spotlight On Sit N Goes
I have created a separate review for Party Poker Sit N Goes. For this page I'll quickly summarize what is on offer. Standard SNGs run through $1, $3, $6 and $11 and up - they are available in standard, speed and turbo formats, in NL Holdem or Omaha and in 2, 6 or 9 player format. I recommend you avoid the lowest buy-ins, as these charge a higher fee (proportionally) than at some other sites.
Varitation include the massively popular Double-or-Nothing games, Steps (win your way to step 6 for huge prizes!) and the innovative timed 'Hellkat' SNG tournaments. For more on these games check out my review of Party Poker SNGs here.
Party Poker 2013 Review - Software And Playability
With a few minor gripes set aside, the software client at Party Poker is really very good. I like the navigation for the games, which is a series of simple choices across the top of the screen. I also like the fact that the cashier, support screens and all the other Party info is included in one place (from the left hand side menu). My gripes are the annoying pop-up which comes after you stop playing for 20 minutes or so - and the fact that your computer only needs to run low on memory for a few seconds for the cool animations to be switched off. I understand through industry sources that there is a brand new client scheduled for 2013 which will blow the opposition away - we will have to wait and see!
These really are small annoyances - this is one of the most user-friendly poker software setups you are going to find anywhere!

Party Poker 2013 Review - Bonuses, Incentives And Promotions
You'll find a lot of bonuses at Party Poker - I'll break this section down with the key info in different sections, starting with the new player welcome bonus.
As a new player you can claim a 100% match on your first deposit up to $500 at Party Poker, simply use Bonus Code SNGPLANET when you register your account to receive this. You'll get to play in the beginners tournaments and cash games for 30 days, and get entry to numerous beginners freerolls too - these extra soft games can all contribute to boosting your poker bankroll right from the start.
Ongoing incentives are the strong point for Party. You will receive many 'reload' bonuses, at various percentages from 50% of your deposit up to 200%. As you collect 'Party Points' your status within the Party loyalty program will improve too. You can use these points to claim cash, extra bonuses or tournament entries - the higher you go the more points (and so more bonuses!) you will earn. On top of this are regular cash game points 'races' as well as leader boards for SNGs and Multi-table tournaments. It really will feel like you are always clearing one bonus or another!
Promotions next, here I will give you a flavor of what is on offer. You will need to keep an eye on the Party Poker website for the latest deals, as these are changing every week. What you will find is a mix of tournament events (including qualifiers to the big live tournaments around the world) and 'challenges' which reward you for playing certain games or hitting certain points levels each week. Small stakes players are really well looked after in these promos, which can include the 'fee-free' periods for different games too. If you want an indication of how well new players are looked after then look no further than the $1.5 million freeroll in the list at the time of writing.
Party Poker 2012 Review - Summary And Planet Mark's Verdict
Lets face it - you do not get to stay in the top 3 poker sites through massive industry changes over 10 years without good reasons. Party Poker have managed their big brand name to perfection, looking after their regular players and attracting new players to the tables all the time, keeping the famously easy games as soft as ever.
For me it is the ongoing incentives and bonuses, together with the soft games, which are the key reason to play at this site. When the US finally open up again I would really not be surprised to see Party Poker (deservedly) take back their number 1 spot.
I strongly recommend you check out the games for yourself now!
