Statistics such as hands per hour and viewed flop percentage appear on the right which will provide useful for the tables you wish to enter.
Multi-tablers will be happy to know that they will be able to play up to twelve tables simultaneously. Even better news is that multi-table play runs smoothly. Players are able to resize their tables only for Texas Hold Em games.
PartyPoker also allows players to use customizable avatars. The whole theme and atmosphere of PartyPoker is that of a party and the graphics and audio surely reflect it. Just listen to the fireworks and cheers when you win a pot, or the huge congratulations banner that pops up when the pot is being shipped your way. Players may also take notes on other players in text form, but cannot assign colors to them.

Game Selection
Party Poker offers a variety of games including Texas Hold Em, Omaha, and Seven Card Stud. Hi-Lo is offered in Omaha and Seven Card Stud.
Games are mostly concentrated on No Limit Hold Em, perhaps because of the attractive Bad Beat Jackpot that PartyPoker offers.

Competition
Party Poker has some of the softest competition around. New players are always joining the site, thanks to PartyPoker’s mass marketing. Whether it is in cash games or tournaments, micro or high stakes, expect many players ready to splash the pot and gamble it up.

Traffic
When it comes to traffic, PartyPoker has plenty of it and it is constantly growing at an exceptional rate. There is always action to be found at any table, no matter the hours of the day.

Support
Knowledgeable support representatives are ready to take your calls through its superb telephone support. The number is toll free and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Email is also another option, although wait times can be long as priority is given to phone calls.

Bonus/Rakeback
PartyPoker offers an attractive first time sign up bonus of 100% up to $500. To release the bonus, you must accumulate 5x your deposit amount in points. So for example, if you deposited $200, you must accumulate 1000 points to clear the bonus. PartyPoker gives you 90 days to clear this bonus.
Rake at micro-medium stakes is horrendous, running as high as 10%. Higher stakes games are at a better advantage though as $100 games and up are raked at 8%. All in all, these rates are higher than the industry standard.
