ONLINE POKER - SITE - Party Poker

I am running an expariment this weekend. I emailed Party Poker and asked them to close out my account entirly. I am going to open a new account under a new user name and make the initial deposit. I'll let you know if I get great cards teh first couple of days.

I began playing online poker about a year ago and my first poker site was PartyPoker. I have been playing there on and off the entire time. My experience with this site has been "normal". When I began I lost approx. $400 playing $.50/$1.00 over the course of several months. Bad beats, YES, why?, because I didn't know how to play poker. I thought I did but boy was I wrong! The reason I was getting "bad-beated" was because I was in the showdown way too much! I should have gotten out much earlier. After reading and studying several books, playing other sites, (Pacific, Emipre, Paradise) I am much better now and am back to even and making money. Not much, but steadedly winning money. Are my bad beats any fewer, yes. It is because I don't go to river as much as I used too. I have found the card dealing at PartyPoker to be very consistant the entire time I have played there. I have runs of bad luck, runs of good luck and steady runs of win some/lose some but all in all the cards have always seemed to be "normal" with respect to what you would think poker hands should be. I continue to play at PartyPoker because it is a break from the other sites I play on. It is no worse and certainly no better than the others. I don't particularly like the looks of the table and I certainly don't like the fact you don't know the percentage of flops seen. Cash outs have been excellent for me and I do not seem to be punished if I do cash out. The software is adequate but not on par with Paradise for instance. Games are fairly loose and the competition is average. Just realize you are playing against some bad players and when they get lucky you get mad. It's not necessarily the dealers fault. I prefer to play with players who know something about the game. You can predict them better and manipulate them easier if necessary. The word bluff is not in the vocabulary at Party and Pacific. It won't work with these players. Just play solid, tight poker and you will probably win. It won't be as much fun as playing half your hands but more profitable. Another negative is the fact that I have found that the server is not as stable as Paradise. You will experience times when you are kicked off-line and the server will have to reconnect you. Sometimes it can't. Seldom to you need to get back into the system. When I have been playing at PartyPoker, Pacific and Paradise at the same time I experience the same effect at Pacific at the same time I do at Party but do not experience this at Paradise. Paradise must have a more stable server. Overall my experience at Party has been acceptable, not great! I will continue to play there if nothing changes.

Party poker has the best graphics and it is the most organized site on the web....I am a professional poker player and i can gaurentee this site is rigged...I have been calld by fish with abosultely nothing on the flop and turn and they catch a str8 on the river...Once in a while it will always happen, but this happens way to much ...I have complained to party poker and they have sent me money, they do this because they know I am right ....Believe me people, party poker is fixed one way or another, and i can gaurentee they have people working for them at tables....Nothing could convince me otherwise, and i believe everyone on this site posting the positives about party poker are working for them to keep there image up....Dont risk it, play on poker stars and try to stay away from party poker...BELIEVE ME...I have cashed out $2000 in party poker and didnt lost much, but it was discusting how much more money I should of won....

Hey, how are all you losers doing? I posted towards the beginning months ago, and somehow made it back here. Nice to see that there is still a million whine bags here. Can I offer you some cheese for that whine?Seriously, if you have not figured it out yet, the people who are complaining about Party Poker are nothing more than losers. How many would cry if they were winning? Get a grip, read some books, and quit your sob story's about the river. Just because you guys saw WSOP on ESPN does not mean you are going to dominate poker yourself. Maybe you guys should try bingo or keno, hahahahahhahahha

PS, if I see any of you crybaby's at Party I will be sure to raise you with my 3 8 off suit just to see you flood your desk with tears.
