ONLINE POKER - SITE - Party Poker
 

Mediocre software, support and players (some may see it as an advantage though)

theres a lot of cheating going on with scanners you need to up grade for that / thank you

Hi, for me Party Poker give lucky hands for new players for come back here in to party poker again. Or give lucky hands for looser player. I play here from several mounths and if 1 day lost next day win..if 1 day win next day loose. never i wins 2 days or loose 2 days. why???All new players (several friends are include) in the beginning wins a lot..after..loose all in a few day!! why??? always!!!!! best regards..turn off the unlucky from my nick thanks.

For the biggest online poker site you'd think they would care more about customer service.. stick to pokerstars if you want to play somewhere you can trust. Stay here if you want a lot of fishy players.

Games used to be a lot looser than they are now. Better software can be found elsewhere and their support department is deplorable.

One of the worst poker sites on the web. Playing with play chips is a joke on this site. When you see a player have 20,000,000 play chips at the table you know youve come upon a shady site. I wouldnt dare play for real money on this site. Software and support are sad also. Dont waste your time downloading this crap.

I'm all for fast play, but there is one issue where Party Poker is too fast: the end of a hand. I have trouble seeing who won, and with what hand, because there is no delay (not even a full second).

Played my first real money online games here. Is it me or does this site give out Flushes like they're going out of style? Really loose players who will call raise after raise with mediocre hands including gutshots and beat you on the river everytime. That's Poker I guess. Moved to Pokerstars.

there are some very shady hands. i would never play with real money here.

This was my first poker site. After being disgusted about being beat on the river ALL THE TIME, I went to another site where I actually started winning on a regular basis. Now that I have played for a while I realize that TOO MANY PEOPLE GET LUCKY ON THE RIVER at Party Poker. Mathematically speaking it occurs a lot more than it should. It gives the impression that Party Poker intentionally rewards bad play in order to keep novices hooked. I have also noticed that everytime I cash-out or win a bonus I suddenly start having a losing streak. I was once dealt over 100 losing hands in a row after receiving a bonus. I am very suspicious of this site and will not play here again.

I've had the same experience as most of the people above. I am a tight player and won't play much junk. So whenever I have a decent hand I play, and it has happened too often for me not too suspect the shady river. I have been beat on the river so many times at party poker. I thought it was just coincedence at first, but after reading others people's comments it's becoming more and more clear something is goin on.

I play at this site more than any other site. I play the low stakes sit and go 1 table tournaments and the $25 6 handed no limit games. I've found that I'm beat less on the river at Party Poker than I am on PokerStars. Party Poker is a good legitimate place to play. I wish that they had better multi-table tournaments. I think Party Poker and PokerStars are the 2 best sites that I have played at.

Players are so bad they will call any raises with anything so most hands never stand up and get rivered. Software is junk and bogs down the computer (have to re- start every hour or so). Tables look so unnatural (bets are in numbers and no chips). Junk for actual poker players.

I agree with many of the other comments. I took 2 deposits out, and rarely ever won a hand after that. it was comical. There are more bad beats on this site than any other that i've ever seen. i'm shocked so many players stay and play on this site- many better options out there

Think about it, if this site is so bad why would so many people actually play there? Currently there are 50,000+ players at peak times. That speaks for it self.

not happy with it. i swear i think they have "employee" players that are dealt winning hands for the company. its amazing how many bet with junk, large bets... and end up catching the river hand after hand after hand.

i am professional gam,bler played on party poker for 8 months it is most corrupt poker site ever seen bots on every table stay out fo side rooms especially $15'30 if there are 10 at table guaranteed 6 at party poker bots i kid you nto i documented over 400 cases finally had enough i was major player on there site so much as they refunded me over 3,000 jsut from me complaing of very strange hands per example one player hitting 4 4 of a kind in a row when i was at 30/60 table my advice is to stay way clear of party poker unless you jsut are casual gambler like $1/2 but anyhtng mroe and you can't win take it from me who bets over 2 million a yr you can email me i will be happy to tell your more mr rober ferguson is poker investigations knows me well take care im still looking for honest poker site cant find one also gaming poker and tiger poker also rigged

I have never seen bots at party poker and I have never had abnormal losses after cashing out. The site has a high rake on low limit games but it has the most players of any site on the web and there are a lot of poor players on the site. Ignore the negative posts. The site is legit.

People who give party a low rating because they think it's fixed have no clue what they are talking about. They are not good players and they try this conspiracy theory is their excuse. Party's low limit games are the softest you'll ever find. I have thousands of hands in at .50/1, 1/2, and 2/4 and have consistantly won at every level.I really get a kick out of people who say this after playing with just play money. You all have no clue.

I concur with one nephew on a point: end of hand, they take it down so quick, often you can't see who won/with what.

With the thousands of people playing at Party Poker, it is inevitable that there will be tons of complaints. These complaints usually come from losers who can not come to grips with the fact that they are not good players. Ego is a killer in poker, and when most lose they can't possibly blame themselves. Therefore, it must be the site hey? Yes there are tons of loose, inexperienced players at Party Poker. This explains why so many beats on the river. It is gonna happen when call stations just don't know when to stop. They are rookies. If you are really a good player you will be able to outlast the rookies who rely on fishing for river cards. Sure you will get beat a bit more often, but I will put my skills against a bunch of reckless fisherman any day of the week. Luckily there will always be a bunch of whinebag losers who will never figure out they suck, and will continue to play. Whether it is at Party Poker or somewhere else, they will lose, and hopefully I will be there to grab their chips. A bit of advice, if Party Poker constantly rewards bad players chasing river cards, why the heck don't you start chasing every straight and flush and adapt to the corruption you speak of? Heck, if I could always fish out a river card, I would play a bunch of bad hands too.

If you cash out, you will go on a losing streak 4 sure,the river will get you, way to many times,

Don't believe what TheDirtRoadWarrior is saying. In fact the comments you've read from others above are true in just about every site, and not just party poker. They all cheat. These sites are not regulated. I for one always win when I'm in Atlantic City or Las Vegas, and over there I don't see the dealing patterns that I see online.

All those whining about this site should just play the "Play Money" tables. You can get the fix without losing your $$. You can't complain about those. It's fun practice...you can take risks you'd normally never take just for the FUN of it! Shouldn't poker be FUN? Later, go take money from your poker buds and the real casinos.

I agree with Tim.Seeing these posts makes me happy about the competition I face there. =)

I agree with most of the negative comments about partypoker. Too many river winners. I don't know if it's b/c the site's software is screwed up (erroneous random selection of cards), players cheating (playing in collusion with other players or using a "scanner"), or what.

I've only played at partypoker.com. A friend mentioned that people cheat on that website and I didn't really believe him until i came to this page and read some reviews. After reading up on some things here I needed a bit more proof so i did a search for poker bots and I found this website. If you do not believe that there are scammers out there that are cheating at poker then your a fool. visit this website to see the proof. [url]www.pokerbot.com[/url]

Use to think something was up, like after cashing out i'd loose over and over. But then I came to terms it was my attitude. I would sit down for an hour or 2 at a 1/2 game and be up 60-100, but then I get cocky, get beat, then go on tilt. As for getting beat on the river, the fishes are lucky, and if someone calls me lucky if I hit my card I keep quiet, then say to myself pot odds were good, and I had a good chance of catching it.

Excellent poker site. Most of the crap you readn here about cheaters and scammers is just that, crap. I looked at the pokerbot and its nothing. You have to program it to bet, call, raise, fold the hands you want it to. Now read this carefully... IT DOES NOT PREDICT WHAT THE NEXT CARD DEALT IS GOING TO BE! Therefore its not a cheat! All it does is what you tell it to do and you can set it to play for you when you're not around. As far as the RNG goes, its a computer program, its not going to be perfect. Sure some hands will repeat at times, sure some hands seem fishy, but GOOD card players know that the cards in your hand are not the most important thing in the game, betting is. A fish is gonna make a bad call no matter what happens. him/her catching on the river is as much a part of the game as you bluffing him out when he has you beat. If partypoker got rid of all the fish and all the maniacs, nobody would be complaining about cheats, or rigged rivers, newbie bonuses, or any garbage like that. GOOD players dont whine about the fish, they just get their money back in the long run. Overall, its the best site I have played at. Cash-ins and cash-outs are quick and easy, sit-n go multi tables are a great way to get the exitement of a big tourney without comitting 5 or 6 hours of your time. Most of all, the private table option is an easy way to make some quick cash. Find yourself a maniac or a real loose player, put his name on your buddy list, when you find him/her, invite him to your private table, play them heads up and collect a quick payday.

Pretty good website. Last time I cashed out took several days longer than I liked, started to worry a little. I like the sit n go options.

There is truth to what many are saying. Yes, many times poker is poker. But the idea that Partypoker punished you for taking out money and rewards poor players to keep their money in circulation in generally valid. When folks call All-Ins with 22 v AA or $30 raises with 3,5OS v AA and win, tell me it isn't rigged. Time and time again it will happen. Have had THREE flopped straight flushes beaten on the river by perfect-perfect and a Quad beaten by a bigger quad the same way. Yes, poker is poker. But anyway who thinks Partypoker isn't juicing the hands to bump of the rake is kidding themselves. They are washing the money. Same asa slot machine. You get a 93% return if you put in $100 and never put the money back in. But if you keep playing you get a 93% return in $500 worth of play - you don't lose $7, you lose $35 of your original $100. If Partypoker gets you to have $1000 worth of play on your original $100 with a 5% rake...ANYONE DISAGREE?

I agree with above. I will no longer play for REAL money at partypoker.com. I also have seen way to many 4 of a kinds. Also when there is a flush out you better bet there is a boat there so they rake more money. Or a boat and 4 of a kind in the same hand as well. I have been beat WAY to many times on the river with good hands. 2 pairs flushes and such. I have also seen the losing streaks after cashing out and getting bonuses as well. I just only play there for fake chips now. Passes the time doesnt do much for my bank account though.

I do disagree. If a rigged simulator and a rake increase are the excuses people want to use when they get outdrawn, let them. If you went to a local casino and saw 4 quads beaten by higher quads, would you acuse the casino of putting more aces in the deck than there should be? Of course not. Specifically, 5-3 and 2-2 will beat aces 17% of the time, thats one out of every 6 hands. In the long run, it will work out that way. The aces may be beaten 2 or 3 times, then not beaten for the next 150. Try this, show the person ready to call your aces with 5-3 your aces next time. I gaurantee nobody will ever call. Plus you cant tell me that you believe the 5% wash system but not the hand percentage system. All I can say is this, Ive played on partypoker for a little over 2 years now and my initial $500 deposit has made me just about $17,000. I've never had a major problem with bad players being rewarded, hands being juiced for bigger rakes, or anything like that. If bad playing was the case, then my suggestion would be mortgage your house, sell your car, invest the kids college fund, put it all on the first 5-3 offsuit you can find and buy that dream vacation home in the Virgin Islands you've always wanted! Dont you think every person in the world would do it if it were that easy? Anyway, excellent site. Known for loose players and maniacks at times, but tight/aggressive players usually walk away with a decent chunk of change. My main bit of advice is this..... DONT MARRY YOUR ACES! Contrary to popular opinion, they are beatable.

Quit the moaning... Party Poker has loose players = more people playing at the river -> more people rivered.... big deal... the fact is this site has the biggest and best multitable tourneys online... the weekend tourneys have 20 minute blinds rather than 15 mins and that makes a big difference... the best players are constant winners... just check out Quick_Pay, he is always high in the money in the big Multi's and that's skill rewarded, not collusion/fishy rivers or whatever the rest of the moaners say.... great site... only downside is too many players so that you cant get to know your opponents...

My good days come right after I deposit or come back after a long break, and my bad ones generally after I cash out. That's the only thing no one's explained that I am personally seeing on my account. Anyone think becoming a "preferred player" by filling out and faxing in all those personal details has anything to do with it?

I have some success on this site, as well as some of my friends. Yet, I still think this site is bogus. I know a complainer sounds like a loser in poker, but I know the odds and the probablities. I also know that I am a solid player, great? no! Here's the problem, you will see a run of bad luck after a cash out. I have cashed out three times and all three times it has happened. The last one being the worst. I am up about 2k, but I still don't like the site. I lost for 2 weeks straight after my last cash out. The second week I kept track of the percentages. I lost 83% of the hands I was favored in pre-flop and after flop, 83% what more can you say. My success came in tourneys mostly. My last 8 were hilarious. AK suited was the best hand i saw in 6 of them. I go all in with the short stack 5/6 times I was up against AA, the other was QQ. lost all six. My last tourney, ended after my pocket A's got cracked twice. Twice in the same tourney. Those percentages are too far fetched for me. Do what you please, there is plenty of money on partypoker, but the site is bogus to me.

ok heres an example i get ace king in the hole oon 25 nl game so i amke a $5 raise one caller..flop A K 7 so i go in my last $10 this guy calls when they turn the cards over hes holding 45 off suit and what do you know turn 6 river 8..he knew what was coming up..turns out 45 off is a 85% winner..tested and proven i got the hand histories lol..its rigged

You Are Silly If You Think Party Poker Would Be Anything But Completely Fair In Its Games. It Rakes Millions Of Dollars Every Day And Does Not Need To Cheat To Make Money. It Does The Best Job Of Attracting Fish, Period. Play There.

PP is a total joke and won't handle a situation fairly if it occurs.....a couple weeks back, I was in a $100 buy in limit tourney, about 90 players, $9K prize money......I was in 4th chip position when the tourney had reached 19 players ( top 10 in the $$ )....the tourney froze for about 45 minutes, they let it continue, and one player was able to not be frozen during this time and to his surprise and a couple observers, he was able to quadruple his chip stack by swallowing the entire 10 player table's blinds during that time while all other players not only couldn't do anything about it, they didn't even know it as happening until 45 minutes later, when we all returned, saw what had happened, everyone complained, I had already contacted their support twice during the freeze and now was frantic after seeing what had happened and was on the phone again with them....the ended up doing, nothing, letting the tourney go on, I finished 12th out of the money after having my chip stack illegally crippled....complained for FIVE HOURS of my personal time following up thru their customer support ( all of whom are from Indian descent and NONE of which knew anything about poker, including all of their supervisors )...they offered to refund my entry fee of $100, when I had paid $100 + 9 and was in a chip position worth almost $500 based on remaining chip counts at the time of freezethe above info has already beens sent to most major poker sites, tournaments, magazines, and online gambling watchdogs...thought the members here should know alsogl luck all
