Party Poker is quite simply the biggest online poker room. They have a tonne of players on all limits, including the real money tables, sit and gos and multi-table tournaments. They also have 2 special tournaments every weekend where the guaranteed payout is at least $200,000 for each of them. There are many satellite tournaments you can enter to get into the big 200k tournaments fairly cheaply or you can also buy in directly. The graphics aren't bad, although they are getting a little dated. The chips and especially the background a lobby are showing their age. However, overall it still looks okay and the software runs fairly smoothly and there hasn't been any noticeable lag that I have seen while playing.

There are a lot of positives to Party Poker. As mentioned, they have the most players. They also have fairly easy players. You will find that the players, especially on the lower levels, are very loose and you can make a good profit level playing at Party Poker. The tournaments and sit and gos are also very good and the players of a below average caliber. Lastly, if you like Omaha or 7 Card Stud, Party Poker is about the only place to play. Most sites simply don't have any players on their Omaha and 7 Card Stud tables. You won't have that problem here.

In conclusion, Party Poker is the biggest online poker room. They have a massive amount of people on their real money tables, they have huge tournaments and the players are below average. You can't ask for a lot more than that.
