Party Poker Rakeback
Unfortunately we are unable to offer Party Poker rakeback at this time.
Party Poker is the largest online poker room. It usually has four times the number of ring game players and double the number or tournament players as second place does. The ring games are often the easiest to beat on the internet. They are often full of passive players who will call just about any draw to the river. The best holdem games on the internet can be found at Party Poker's $25 no limit 6 max, $1/$2 6 max and $5/10 6 max. A player with just average short handed skills should be able to profit in these games.
Game Selection
Party Poker offers the widest variety of game selection on the internet. The games they offer are Holdem, Omaha, Omaha H/L, Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud H/L. Their limits in holdem range from $.50/$1 to $30/$60 and no limit and pot limit range from $25 to $100 buyins. It does not matter what time of day it is there is always the best game selection on the internet at Party Poker. There are even many games in the Omaha and Stud rooms during off peak hours. The average pots are slightly inflated as Party Poker is one of the few rooms that include an uncalled last bet if everyone folds in the total pot size. Also this is one of the few rooms that do not publish average flop %'s in their lobby.
Party Poker Skins
Empire Poker is the only skin of Party Poker. Party Poker recently took over Empire Poker's player base.
Tournaments
Party Poker offers the largest tournament selection on the internet. They offer single table tournaments, also known as sit and gos, ranging from $5-$200. Most often the Holdem tables take less then 5 minutes to fill. They also offer sit and gos in Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud H/L, and Omaha H/L. These tend to take a bit longer then the Holdem sit and gos to start but there still is not a better place to find these games for tournaments anywhere. All skins have access to the sit and gos. Two and three table sit and gos are also offered.
They also offer multi table tournaments in all games. Buyins range from $5-$300. It is not uncommon for multi table tournaments to have over 1500 entrants, especially in the lower buyin tournaments.

Support
Support was once very bad at Party Poker during their huge growth spurt. After they got over these growing pains they have found their way to slightly below average. Responses can still sometimes take hours, and even then it can be just a form letter that did not answer your question at all or was answered by someone who does not appear to have
