Party Poker has long been known as the place to go to catch unsuspecting poker "fish". What are fish? Well they are the players who are just starting to learn to play poker or who have been around for a while but just aren't very good.

Party Poker Ring tournament tables ? where you just join in and play - have a minimum betting level of $0.50/$1.00 for their real money poker games.

The minimum deposit at Party Poker is also high, currently it's $50 and again this is much higher than some sites.
