NO BET POT BUTTON IN NL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also like NL sliders that one clicks kicks it up in 1 bb increments, not up to 4 then all of a sudden 8 or whatever.

if party had any kind of clickable slider, it would be an improvement.

I bet you really suck at Poker. A poker site won't survive with high rake. It makes the fish go broke quicker and the educated players won't play there b/c the site takes too much of their edge. The greatest number of raked hands played per day is what a poker site wants. The standard rake makes them more than enough money (Party is a multi billion dollar publicly traded company) and keeps the players around because they can't find a better deal.

Party seems to be doing OK.

Re: A perfect internet poker site? ( spam free)
 

Party's rake is pretty much industry standard.

Don't worry about attracting players like us. Attract everyone else, and we will be there shortly.

no, most site rakes $.25 at $5.00, not $.50. this is at low limit.

As far as graphics go I use the "turn off characters" at party poker. With the characters off I think it has the best graphics. Logical, easy to read, no fluff or bs to get in the way. I think the background at pokerstars is just plain ugly. If I'm gonna spend hours playing online I want an elegant screen to look at.

Low rake or buy in. I play sngs. 10%, imho, is too high.
Should be half that. I think 1 dollar on a 10 dollar sng is silly. 50 cents seems more reasonable.

The sounds need to be good too. I think PP has pretty good sounds. Not annoying.

I think PokerChamps has a great table graphic. It's a little too small though when you run at high rez.

One thing PP does that I don't see on other sites is the ability to only look at games that are currently registering players. I HATE having to scroll through a list to find an open game.

Get the best, most advanced random number generator.

Pokerstars chat is a nightmare. party poker does chat decently.

The ability to jump into a game any time. This takes users. that means marketing. I think pokerchamps could be a great site. not enough people there and a little under funded.

I like full tilt EXCEPT for the fricken graphics. Ridiculous. I hate the whole cartoon vibe. Whoever came up with that needs to go back to design school.

IGN at PP is my favorite way to deposit funds. Fast and Easy. I hate having to load neteller or firepay and then transfer funds to the pokersite.

Fast cash outs. I want to be able to cash out as quickly and easily as I can deposit.

-High game traffic, site is worthless without adequate number of players

-Good game selection, basically every site but Party skins, ie Why no 2/4, 20/40, 30/60 6 max limit?

-Decent looking graphics or the ability to easily change backgrounds

-Custom avatars/pictures like at Absolute and PokerStars

-Plentiful bonuses and RB

-Locally stored hand histories and PokerTracker compatibility

-NL slider

-Tournament variety, such as heads up and 6 max SNGs

-Advanced chat options, the detachable chat on Full Tilt is nice

-Buddy lists and a simple one click way to add new buddies

-Ability to hide play money tables or at least have them separated like at Party

-Smooth running software

-Good customer support

-Fast cashouts

-Low rake/tournament fees
