Lobby:
1. Is there a buddy list? No.
2. Is there an option to automatically muck any uncalled hands, winning or not, without being asked? No.

Tables:
1. Is there an option that shows the amount of a bet on the table without having to mouse-over its chips? No.
2. Is there a way to type in your bet amount without having to use the slider? No.
3. Is there a way to see which players you have notes on, without having to right-click each player's name? No.
4. What the heck is the Cocktails menu all about?!?! More unnecessary graphics.

The graphics are nice, but for practical usability, Paradise's interface is horrid.


I've tried out PartyPoker, PokerRoom, UltimateBet, PokerStars, Pacific Poker, Choice Poker, Aloha Poker, and now, Paradise Poker, and I must say that PartyPoker, by far, has the best, no-nonsense, no-fuss, easy-to-see, easy-to-use, most practical interface of them all. Who needs the bells-and-whistles if they just get in the way of playing cards?

My only gripe about PartyPoker's interface is that they don't have a Call BB/Fold button for when you're in the SB.

I dont like paradise either. For mostly the same reasons, plus it it too bulky. It really slows down my system.

I like Party the best, with Stars a close second.

I prefer paradise because i don't mind doing a little extra to see those things that you complain about. Partypoker is the worst I have seen. the graphics leave you guessing whether its a spade or a club. The cards are dealt at a pace (during a showdown) that there is no time to see whats happening, and at the end of the hand, you wonder who won.

My favorite at partypoker is getting kicked off while head to head in an SNG. You can surf the web, but cannot get back in the game as you are frozen out.

Partypoker is a victim of its own success. It will never improve its system because it makes money the way it is. People flock to play there without checking all the options.
