Paradise Poker

Since leaving the US market, Paradise
traffic has dropped dramatically, so
games aren't as plentiful as they once
were. It's still a good room for fish,
but I prefer to play where the big
action is - that seems to be Full Tilt
or PS.

They hit my credit card for three
deposits only added two payments to my
acct. I got my bank to reverse the third
payment. Paradise banned me and were
very rude when I pointed out that they
only deposited twice to my acct. They
then demanded I provide paperwork to
back up what I had said.

All in all they are very poorly managed,
not like other sites I have dealt with.
PartyPoker, Poker4Ever, Absloute all get
9 and 1/2 thumbs up. Paradise get 1 kick
in the back end.

It's fairly easy to use. Looking
through the tournaments can get a bit
annoynig sometimes, trying to find the
type you are looking for. I've signed
up for a couple rebuy's by accident,
which I don't like playing. The Table
interface is decent, although I prefer
to see characters. Tournament action is
fairly weak, but there are always people
playing. During people hours you may
have to wait a bit to get onto a table.

I can't comment on customer support,
luckily haven't had to deal with them
yet.
I have been playing for about a
month, but I play an average of 12 hrs.
a day. I know I have a lot to learn,
but it is too easy to make money on this
site. I have not made any money on
another site, and while I seem to have
gained a bit more ability, I now have
$150 approx. which I made in the last 20
hrs. This is the first I've played .50
blinds and it is not much challenge.
Just make sure to leave a table if you
think it's real tight, or you aren't
doing well. This site is full of
maniacs.
I haven't played much the past few
days, and cleared 200 points with little
problem today. I can't stress the need
to switch tables if you feel the players
are too experienced. good luck, hope my
rambling review is a bit of help

My favorite room. The initial deposit
bonus is great; I earned it very quickly
even at $10 nl. The interface is pretty
good, my lone complaint is that when you
make a note about a player, it does not
indicate so on the player's name. The
games are easier here than at Party
Poker, imo. Finding a good table has
never been an issue.

Hmm,... I get a kick out of the losers
who pan Paradise, alluding to "foul
play" or what have you.

I've played on Paradise for almost over
two years now. Simply the best I've
encountered. Ease of buying in with a
credit card, great support when needed
(which for me has only been for
non-technical matters), good, fast
graphics and loads of games.

I've played on many other sites and
Paradise is far superior. The ones I
haven't played on are because it's
such a royal pain in the posterior (not
to mention expensive what with all the
hidden costs) to actually open an
account that I've given up trying. UB
would be a great example.

Until one comes along that has all that
Paradise has, I don't think I'll
switch again. Tried it a while ago and
had naught but grief.

Paradise Poker is the best site out
there. One of the main attractions for
me is that they offer the widest variety
of games. You can choose from no limit
games everywhere between a $2 max buy-in
to $500. Their limit games range from
$.02/.04 to $40/80. They also have
7-stud, Omaha, blackjack, draw poker,
5-stud, Pineapple, Hi Lo, 1-on-1
tournaments, mini-tourneys, etc. For
the price variability, the ease of the
interface, and poor players abound, PP
is the nuts.

Solid choice to play at, definitely
worth playing to earn the bonus. Easy
$100. Paradise should be included into
your list of poker rooms. I've been a
member for a few years here, and
although I play at half a dozen other
rooms, I often go back to visit Paradise
if I get a reload bonus or something.

I still prefer keeping most of my action
at Party Poker, you can't beat the
player base and number of tables for
cash games.

U have got tobe kidding me, after
reading the reviews on paradise i
could'nt stop laughing. I would to hear
these players comments in a few months
from now. I will give everyone a heads
up on the site. If u like bad beats you
have come to best place bar none. I know
alot of players that have played here
including myself and we will never put
another penny into it. Its the worst
[believe me] If you dont go all in with
10 2 or 7 4 for ex. and you will win
more times than not,yes its that bad. No
disconnects LOL its bad for it. I really
wonder who actually wrote these
reviews.I kind of expect some foul play
here. I can't wait to tell my player
buddies, it will be good for a laugh or
too. U HAVE BEEN WARNED

I have tried bodog, empire, pacific, and
now paradise in that order and have been
very impressed w/ paradise. the cards
are true, they even have there shuffling
reviewed by J.D. Power & Associates,
which gives out quarterly reports
confirming their validity.

The interface is very solid, disconnects
are non-existent. It is full of fish,
even though they are tight fish. just
play looser than usual and you'll be
fine. I can't tell you how many ppl
even at the 50 and 100 nl tables are
playing k4 offsuit in early position!
Its great.

Honestly, this is the first place I have
played at where I am not nervous. I
feel truely comfortable at these tables,
anytime. I strongly urge all to give it
a shot, what've you got to lose?

Site is one of the best I have found. I
play mostly 1-2 limit and 10-50 limit
tourneys. Find some players will call
everything and beat you every now and
then but in the end the best player
seems to walk with the money. Highly
recommended.

Paradise Poker has many great benefits.
First off, the interface is my favorite
of any site. I like the anonymity of
not having icons and being able to order
drinks/food instead. There are a decent
number of fish in any given room, and
always plenty of tables with an empty
seat or two at any level. Their support
is great, and with a 50% bonus, this
site is hard to beat. Also, one of
beats listed below has been corrected.
The fold/check/bet buttons appear before
your turn now. Highly recommended.

This is one of the better sites I have
played on. The NL Hold em miney
tournaments is where I do most of my
gaming, and you can always find a game
no matter what the buy in. The rake isnt
rediculouse like Party poker, and nither
are the amount of bad beats,(even though
it has its fair share like poker any
where in the world). Theres also a
pretty good mix of good and bad players,
but I do find more fish early in the
mornings pacific standard time. Another
cool thing about the site is that it
offers non traditional and classic games
like Pinapple, 5 stud, and draw poker.
Over all thumbs up to Paradise Poker.

The interface at Paradise is kind of
unique. They have cool features like the
ability to order drinks. One thing I
don't like is the way the
Raise/Call/Fold buttons fail to appear
until it is your turn. The action is
pretty good. It isn't as busy as Party
but then again who is? The Customer
Support seems fine, they claim to answer
emails very quickly, but couldn't find a phone number. The Ease of
Game/Fish is excellent. I ran into some
really bad players there. The bonus is
great too, it comes out fairly quickly
and it is easy to monitor.
