At the main lobby you'll see a general overview of all of our games in the left hand scrolling game column. This column has an expanding feature so that you can see more detail within the headings. If the heading has a small “+” to the left of it, you can click to see more choices within. For instance, in the example shown here, when you click Hold ‘em within the Real Money heading, you’ll see the choices of limits. It’s worthwhile to spend a few minutes exploring the game column to familiarize yourself with all of the game, tournament and limit choices available at PartyPoker.com.
