I started playing on-line poker as my mates got into it and then i got hooked. I'm a winning player in touraments, cash, and SnGs - I play mainly on Pokerstars and FTP. Partypoker however is a different story, its the site I started on, as Im sure many do due to the heavy marketing they do. I'm here to tell you to not do this!!
The touraments are rubbish compared to Stars and FTP, too few and very very poor structures (the crazy stack tourney is the most idiotic). It demostrates strongly that this isn't a pure poker site like stars' or FTP, which focus on offering games that player want.
The software is very poor, it crashes a lot, and the e-mail support is terrible.
The bonus' are rubbish compared to the other sites - you have to play a sick amount of hands to see your bonus.
However the biggest problem is the random number generators, which seem massively different to other sites, Id be willing to put a lot of cash on this being true. I know Im a winning poker player because I use pokertraker, and what struck me as strange is my partypoker cash game stats.
(odds to get a specific pocket pair are 220/1)After 2,129 hands, I have never had AA, 1-KK, 1-QQ, 1-JJ, 0-TT, 2-99, 3-88, 7-77......etc etc, I should have, on average had each of these hands just less than 10 times!!
The site sucks in so many ways, if you have pokertracker, compare your stats from different sites, you will notice a massive difference, never play it, its not a poker site, like stars or FTP. Its a blackjack, casino and a sports betting site!!
If you love poker like me, play poker in the right place, use sites which change and adapt to what players want. Party is a static site, it never changes, when it drastically needs to!
