There is no instant play option so you have to download and use up more of your ever diminishing memory.

Party Poker has the usual games you would expect to find, including Texas Hold'em Poker, Omaha Poker, Omaha Hi-Lo Poker, and Seven Card Stud Poker.

Tournaments have buy-in's ranging from freerolls ( free poker ) to $110 . "Sit and go's" cost from $3 to $530. Cash poker games start at 2/4c and go up to $100/$200.

Layout

The Main Lobby consists of a number of windows, and I think that it looks somewhat cluttered. This is mainly due to the fact that they try to do too much in such a small space.

One of the windows shows the types of poker games and runs on a "window file" type system, click on the folder and it's contents pop down, and you drill down to the level that you want.

The poker tables then scroll down another window. Highlight a tournament and some details of that tournament appear in another small window. There are so many windows that it looks like a conservatory.

The actual tournament lobby is quite the opposite. It is well designed, clear and concise, giving you all the information that you would need, with plenty of space.

The standard format is a 10 player poker table. There are fixed avatars with just your nickname and chip balance. Put you mouse over your opponent and it will show what part of the world they are from.

There is also an option to pick a table position, which you will then always be sat at for every game you play.
