Zusammenfassung (Rated 8 out of 10)
Mit zeitweise mehr als 60 000 Spielern online ist Party Poker sicherlich der größte Online Poker Room überhaupt, aber ist er auch der beste? Kurze Antwort: Ja und nein. Vorallem durch die riesige Spielauswahl, die gute Organisation und Verschiedenheit der Gegner ist Party Poker unerreicht und wird vermutlich auch in Zukunft bleiben. Andererseits gibt es auch kleinere Schwächen, so wie das banale Aussehen und einige Schwächen bei der Benutzbarkeit, die vielleicht einige Spieler zu anderen Seiten abwandern lassen - diese Abtrünnigen werden aber kaum die Party verderben.

Spielauswahl (Rated 10 out of 10)
Wenn man sich Gedanken darüber macht wie es Party Poker an die Spitze der Industrie geschafft hat, muss man sich eigentlich nur die Spielauswahl anschauen. Diese gehört mit zu Partys größten Vorzügen und kann als Maßstab für alle anderen Seiten gesehen werden. Es gibt praktisch Spiele in allen Variationen, allen Größen und mit allen Einsätzen und das immer gleich mehrfach. Alle Hold'em Spiele, Limit und Pot Limit Omaha und 7-Card Stud sind als Cash Games mit Einsätzen von 10c/25c bis hin zu 100$/200$ verfügbar. Die Extreme, also sowohl das Micro-Limit als auch die High-Stakes-Bereiche, sowie HI/LO Spiele sind die einzigen Flüchtigkeitsfehler. Als kleinen Ausgleich für das untere Ende der Einsatzskala sind zumindest einige Anfängertische mit kleineren Einsätzen vorhanden. Außerdem gibt es interessante Jackpot-Tische, wie z.B. ‘Bad Beats’, verfügbar.
Die Turnierauswahl ist ebenso beeindruckend. Es gibt praktisch fast alles was das Herz begehrt. Einzeltisch und Multi-Table Sit-and-Gos werden in einer guten Abstufung angeboten, obwohl diese zumindest im unteren Bereich etwas besser sein könnte - unterhalb von 6$ ist nämlich nichts zu finden. Dieser Kritikpunkt wird jedoch durch die endlose Menge von Qualifikationsturnieren, bis hin zur WSOP, und Satelliten, oder ‘Steps’ wie sie hier auch genannt werden, mehr als wett gemacht. Daselbe gilt auch für die täglichen geplanten Turniere, die täglich im Dutzend vorhanden sind und besonders für die vielen regelmäßigen Freeroller geeignet sind. Promotion-Spiele, schnelle Spiele und Rebuy-Spiele sogar außerdem für Abwechslung.
nach oben
Stärke der Gegner (Rated 7 out of 10)
Wie man sich bei einer so hohen Zahl von Spielern, die hier täglich ein und aus gehen vorstellen kann, ist die Spielstärke der Gegner bei Party Poker durchwachsen. Sowohl die sehr guten und erfahrenen als auch die unerfahrenen Spieler tummeln sich hier, so dass die Spielstärke je nach Tisch sehr unterschiedlich sein kann. Wie Party Poker dies etwas unter Kontrolle bringen will sind z.B. die "Änfanger-Tische", an denen nur Spieler mit neuen Accounts für eine gewisse Zeit spielen dürfen. Diese Tische sind ein guter Startplatz für Anfänger, ziehen aber auch gute Spieler an, die direkt nach der Anmeldung erst einmal ihre Bankroll aufbessern wollen, bevor sie auf dem Rest der Seite spielen.
So wie sich die Einsätze erhöhen, erhöht sich verständlicherweise auch die Spielstärke der Gegner, allerdings nicht ganz so voraussagbar wie auf anderen Seiten. Der massive Spielverkehr und das hohe Ansehen von Party Poker ziehen doch jede Sorte von Änfangern an, also auch die jenigen mit einer fetten Bankroll. So ist hier der High-Stakes-Bereich nicht unbedingt ein no-go, wie auf anderen Seiten, sondern vielleicht sogar der profitabelste Bereich überhaupt. Die generelle Hold'em-lastige Ausrichtung der Seite hält die Spielqualität etwas niedriger, weil sich die besseren Allround-Spieler sich manchmal woanders umsehen.
nach oben
Software (Rated 8 out of 10)
Party Pokers Software ist in vielerlei Hinsicht grundsolide, wie man es für solch eine große Seite erwarten würde, jedoch nicht die beste die es gibt. Das Herunterladen, die Installation und die Einrichtung sind gut, auf Bewegungen auf der Seite reagiert die Software ausreichend, jedoch nicht so schnell wie einige andere. Die Hauptstärke von Partys Software ist jedoch der exzellente Service den sie vielen Kunden bietet. Das Hauptinterface bietet eine Vielzahl von Benutzeroptionen wobei der ausgezeichnete Kundenservice besonders hervorzuheben ist.
Im Spiel selbst reagieren die Aktionen gut, die Chipverteilung erfolgt prompt. Das Austeilen und Weglegen von Karten erfolgt schnell was zu einem schnellen Spielablauf führt und damit nicht an den Nerven der Spieler zehrt, wie auf anderen Seiten, wo lange auf den Ausgang einer Hand gewartet werden muss. Die sonst üblichen Pre-Select Aktionsknöpfe fehlen, was Multi-Tabling schwieriger macht. Party Poker hat in einer ihrer letzten Updates einige neue und innovative Details eingeführt, z.B. die Fähigkeit die Größe des Tisches beliebig zu skalieren, ebenso wie die "Table-Tilting"-Funktionalität welche es erlaubt mehrere Tische auf den Bildschirm zu kacheln - beides wird sicherlich Spieler erfreuen, die gerne an mehreren Tischen gleichzeitig spielen.
nach oben
Grafik (Rated 7 out of 10)
Es ist etwas verwunderlich, dass die Grafiken für eine beliebte und hochqualitative Seite wie Party Poker doch recht unspektakulär sind. Das Hauptinterface ist vor allem auf Organisation und Anwendbarkeit ausgelegt. Hier erreicht es zwar einen hohen Standard, bleibt dabei aber relativ blass. Farben, Atmosphäre und Kreativität wurden für Benutzbarkeit geopfert. Diese Entscheidung war es aber zu einem gewissen grad wert, da das Resultat eines der einfachsten und am besten organisiertesten Spielauswahl-Layouts überhaupt ist. Informationen über Turniere, Preise und Spieler in der Lobby sind ebenso exzellent.
Wenn die Lobby- und Client-Grafiken schon unterdurchschnittlich sind, kann man die Grafiken an den Tischen selbst wohl als völlig stumpf und langweilig bezeichnen. Eine sehr kleine Anzahl von Avataren ist das Maximum an Kreativität der Seite, obwohl man sich diese nicht einmal selber heraussuchen kann und man auch über die Qualität ihrer Animation streiten kann. Die Grafiken des Tisches, der Karten und Chips sind ebenso einfach gehalten, aber wenigstens sind sie sehr benutzerfreundlich und praktisch.
nach oben
Profitabilität (Rated 8 out of 10)
Obwohl kein großartiger Bonus zu holen ist und auch sonst keine besonderen lukrativen Spieloptionen vorhanden sind, sind es doch Party Pokers einzigartiges Image und Status in der Industrie was Party zu einer profitablen Seite machen können. Die schiere Größe und die Werbungsmacht bedeutet, dass hier viele Spieler zu finden sind, die ihre ersten Gehversuche im Online Poker machen, obwohl hier nicht die Micro-Limit-Tische zu finden sind, wo sie sich normalerweise aufhalten würden. Das Ergebnis sind einige lockere und fette Ziele, vor allem an den No-Limit Cash Tischen.
Es gibt zwar nicht dieselbe Vielfalt von Jackpot Spielen, wie z.B. bei den iPoker Poker Rooms wie z.B. Noble Poker und Titan Poker, aber auch hier gibt es Möglichkeiten für Spieler die aus ganz wenig ganz viel machen wollen. Eine dieser Optionen sind die sogenannten ‘Steps’, wo man sich durch das Gewinnen eines 10$ Sit-and-Gos für ein 50$ Sit-and-Go qualifizieren kann. Den meisten Profit kann man bei Party Poker jedoch dadurch erzielen, dass man mit den Fischen schwimmt, die hier zahlreich vorhanden sind und sich eigentlich nirgends verstecken können.

The software on Party Poker is on of my favourite.
Players are not that good so you can earn a little bit of money beside the savvybonus.
That bonus is very easy to clear in there. It just took me 2 hours while playing 4 tables on NL200.
Pretty Good

I like PartyPoker. The players are horrible, the software runs great, altho I don't like the avatars sitting on the table. The PartyPoint system, however, is just absolute rubish. You get points for playing 20 raked hands at a table. But when you play for instance 79 raked hands. You don't get the points times 4, but times 3. Since you missed 1 raked hand. I think this is just a very sad tactic to use on your customers! But overall the room is terrific.
very good bonus

Very good and quick bonus. Players in PartyPoker's micro fixed tables are very weak. So bluff.
Very many tables to choose and great game selection. Software is good and multitabling is easy.

Party Poker bonus was incredibly easy to complete playing only 1 NL25 table. This was the first Savvybonus I have ever completed. To gain partypoints you have to play tables at least as big as NL25. I liked the software and graphics. Competition was really variable. There were some good players also but most of players at NL25 were relatively fishy. I have nothing to complain about full 5/5 stars from me. Really easy 500 savvypoints here.
Not for low limit short handed players

I mostly play 5-6 handed NL5-NL25 and Party's short handed tables start from NL25, so I had to play at max level all the time to get this bonus done. NL25 was quite fishy and the raked hands needed were quite easily gathered so I got the bonus done, but i preffer sites that have more low limit short tables.
Client was easy to use, and money transfers from moneybookers and to moneybookers were fast. Quick and easy bonus.

Party Poker is a easy Pokerroom, with simple graphics and friendly players.
If you spent all your money before you recive your partypoint, just wait some weeks or month and they will give free money up to 30$, so at least I could complete my points. Easy

One thing i don´t like at PP is the high fees for withdraw using bank tranfer...

Overall the bonus at Party Poker is very easy to clear. I had it finished in 2 days and it only took about another 2 days to get my savvy points in my account. For the most part the players are pretty loose so you should make a bit of profit at the same time.

This was very easy bonus to clear! Overall, Players are awful on party, and you can get points quickly since hands are raked quickly - even at the small tables!
Highly recommended.

Party Poker has simple, easy to use, software. One of the advantages playing on a big site like this is that there's a lot of tables and a lot of weak players! Also, another plus, the PokerSavvy bonus was very easy to clear! Although the deposit bonus was a bit on the small side, it was very easy to release. Enjoy the PokerSavvy Bonus on Party!

I like Party Poker because of their nice, user friendly software. They have a lot of players, you can find active tables during every part of the day. I played $25 max buy-in no-limit games and it was quite easy to clear this bonus at those stakes.
Nice!

Party Poker was nice experience for me, but I didn't like the skin. I don't know why, but that was it. The skill level of the other players was okay, it's sad that American players are not there anymore. Party Poker is targeted to people who want to play poker for fun. The deposit bonus offered by Party was kind of poor...

Party Poker is part of a huge network. There are players online all the time. There are a lot of fish at the lower stakes. The support staff is very nice, after making a deposit they called me up on the phone and welcomed me to the site. The withdrawal was also great, it took me less then 24 hours to receive my money in my Moneybookers account. Another thing I liked about Party Poker is that they had mini-view tables, so it was easy to play up to twelve tables at the same time.

Party Poker is a well known poker site, but my playing experience wasn't as pleasant as I expected it to be. The software was okay, but not great. The SavvyPoints bonus is very small, but easy to complete. There are many different tables and it's easy to get a game going.
#1 Recommendation!

This bonus is my #1 recommendation in almost any article concerning building a BR - and not without reason. Especially with Party's new rake structure, it's easier than ever to meet the required raked hands - totally risk free if you're playing fixed-limit. Their software is okay, a bit plain, but there are many layouts to choose from. Games are good and frequent, just watch out for the short stacks at no-limit tables or the nits in the fixed-limit games. Unfortunately, Party Poker has changed their reload bonus conditions, but the PokerSavvy bonus still is the way to go!
One of the largest poker rooms in the world!

PokerSavvy's Party Poker Bonus was great and very easy to finish in just one day. Money transfers are the fastest I had ever seen at Party. And there are so many players that you can play anytime you want. Good bonus!
Good, but really tough!

Party Poker has very good software, multi-tabling is no problem. Tight-aggressive is the style employed by most players, but there are enough fish to earn money. The customer support is not good.

After 1.5 year of intensive online playing this was my first time I played at Party Poker. First to say is that I loved the software, it was easy to use, fast and reliable. Customizable table sizes is great feature! I thought the games were pretty tight and aggressive. The 'Players to Flop' percentage was 12%-15% in many full ring games which means you have to adapt your strategy to these games. Also, there are lots of players only buying in with short stacks. Overall I liked Party Poker, especially because of the bonus from PokerSavvy!
Best bonus ever!!!

Never played such an easy bonus before! On top of their deposit bonus, you get 1,000 SavvyPoints for signing-up through PokerSavvy, that's $100 extra, right back into my Moneybookers account. The software is very fast, and the players are just average. Excellent offer! Keep at it, PokerSavvy!

This was my easiest bonus ever.
May 24th - In the afternoon I deposited $500 via Moneybookers. I played about 30 minutes ($0.10/0.15 PL/NL x 4 tables) and got almost half of the needed points.
May 25th - When I got home I played another 30 minutes and viola! Done deal! Got my $100 deposit bonus! I withdrew $630 back to my Moneybookers account.
May 26th - In the morning the money was already in my Moneybookers account and I have also earned my SavvyPoints. The whole process took me about two days (One hour of playing), I think this is how it's meant to be! :)
Thanks a lot!

Party Poker is a very big room, and there are a lot of tables at all times. The best part that the bonus is very easy to clear at just 500 raked hands. It is no problem to clear it, even at very small stakes!

I like the software, especially how you can tile/resize the windows. Took me three or four days to get those 500 raked hands ($0.25/0.50 NL). Deposit $500, and after you meet PokerSavvy's raked hand requirement, you'll also receive Party's $100 first deposit bonus! Highly recommended!

I 4-tabled No-Limit $50 max buy-in short-handed for one night and was finished. So the first-deposit-bonus was exceptionally easy to clear and the SavvyPoints were also pretty easy. The current promotion also promised me to get a Party Poker cap in the mail. All in all a nice addition to PokerSavvy.

Party Poker was the second poker room where I played, and it was great. A lot of choices between games and quite loose players. The bonus was also great. It took me two days (couple of hours a day) to play those 500 hands and as soon as I finished it the $100 bonus appeared on my account.

Wow. Easy promo again, gained 500 raked hands quite easily, got the SavvyPoints plus $100 sign-up bonus.
Pros: Many players, resizable windows, nice bonus. Many fish!
Cons: Waiting list didn't seem to work out for me.
Also the lobby was too much for my old PC, it usually started lagging. Works fine on new computers, though.

Well, I have played at many poker rooms before (and after), and I think Party poker is good. There are many bonuses every month (like reload bonuses or instant bonuses). One of the best thing in their software is that you can resize all tables. This is great. You can find a lot of fish too
