Paradise Poker History
Paradise Poker was the world's largest poker room and leader in ring game traffic for many years, until 2003, remaining competitive today in the Top 3 to 5 positions. It is run by Barbara Enright, the only two-time Ladies World Champion in poker, and the only woman to make the final table at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) main event, to finish 5th in 1995. Many players consider it as providing the highest quality of experience in online tournament poker. Paradise Poker's software, traffic, security, support, and game viariations are all excellent. There are few promotions, though, which is one of the site's biggest drawbacks.

Poker Tournaments and Traffic
Ever since introducing multi-table tournaments in 2003, Paradise Poker's tournament traffic has shot up to 2,500 to 3,000 at peaks hours. Ring game traffic, which was the highest for many years until 2003, remains competitive at 1,800 to 2,000 at peak hours.

Having a game variety that counts as one of the best online, Paradise Poker offers no limit and pot limit at most standard games and even games as rare as the 5 Card Draw, 5 Card Stud, and Crazy Pineapple. Paradise Poker is notorious for its high-caliber players and the tightness of its games.
