Poker Sites

• Party Poker Now a bit more seasoned, PartyPoker is raising in stature among card rooms. Party is presented by the same people that brought you CardPlayer Cruises, including Mike Sexton. They have a big multi-table tournament every year called the Party Poker Million. "I have played on Party Poker for a few months and just recently signed up with Poker Stars and as a women player I am very impressed!" "I think it should be noted on your site that Partypoker.com does not allow anybody to play "professionally" according to their terms and conditions. I think this is very very relevant to the decision of playing there. According to the terms if they determine you are playing professionally your account could be closed or even confiscated!!!! " "Party's service is terrible." "I have nothing but positive raves for how I've been treated as a customer."

• Poker Room Poker Room offers tournaments (including multi-table tournaments) as well as Texas Hold'em, Hold'em, Omaha, Chinese Poker and 7 Card Stud. In addition to a good links section, players can beta-test new games with play money, including tournaments.

• Planet Poker Planet Poker also offers a good selection of games, although their interface is not very pleasing. Has Mike "the Mad Genius" Caro seal of approval. Generally good traffic. Recommended. "Planet were the first to launch an online poker room, but they don't have nearly the action of some other places though." " You can find good games at Planet Poker regularly."

• Pacific Poker Not so much an online card room as a network of poker rooms, Prima boasts low to no waiting time to start a game. They have 21 smaller poker rooms that they pull from to make a full game. So no matter which site you connected from, you will be able to play across the board. They use a third party company called micrograming software to run their games which is audited by PWC for security, but leasing software often means that updates, improvements and innovations are slow in coming.

• Paradise Poker Billed accurately as the "World's Premier Online Cardroom", Paradise offers the standard variety of games, including tournaments 24 hours a day. The most action is always found at this site, 24 hours a day. Pleasing game interface with little extras that make things interesting. Most importantly, if you are concerned about security and credibility; Paradise posts card shuffling reviews by Pricewaterhouse Coopers (the world's largest professional services firm) on their site. Highly recommended. "As I imagine many are at first, I was cautious about playing poker tournament online. Not now.... Paradise Poker continues to impress me with their unparalleled service. It's a pleasure to play poker at Paradise, and accordingly I enjoy sharing my experience with anyone who will listen on how good they are." "I have been playing at Paradise Poker for a long time now and am thrilled to see their recent introduction of even more poker games. Well done guys!!!" "I have played at other sites, like PlanetPoker, PartyPoker and UltimateBet - to test the market. I must compliment Paradise Poker - even though their connections are slow sometimes, all the other sites are slow too, and sometimes connections are completely lost ."
