Get in the Zone: Party Poker’s New Player Zone

Heard all the excitement about online poker but haven’t yet gotten your feet wet? Or maybe you’ve got a friend who’d love to get in the game but is just a little too intimidated to get started. Either way, Party Poker has got you covered with their extensive and comprehensive New Player Zone.

The PartyPoker New Player Zone is just what it sounds like – a place (in cyberspace, of course) where beginners to the online poker scene can acquaint themselves with the game and catch up to all the competition they’ll soon be facing. It’s divided into three basic sections: Getting Started, Poker School, and exclusive rookie Promotions and Tournaments.

The Getting Started section includes two helpful tours of the site – a Lobby Tour and a Table Tour – and two convenient software assistants – a Hand Analyzer and a Poker Trainer.

The Poker School helps newbies brush up on their poker skills even more, with the Basic Rules of the game, a rundown of the various Poker Games and what makes each one different, the Betting Rules for each different type of play, and a useful poker lingo Glossary.

Finally, Party Poker offers rookie members exclusive access to certain Promotions and Tournaments where your only competition is other PartyPoker newcomers. This includes a Bankroll Builder worth a share of $30,000 over your first 60 days as a real-money player, a $1,500 Beginners’ Freeroll, Sit ‘n Go’s starting at $1 (with the $3 Hellkat tournaments particularly popular), and Beginners’ games with blinds as unintimidating as 2 cents for the small blind and 4 cents for the big blind, as well as equally dealable $1 qualifiers.

Getting started in online poker has never been easier with the PartyPoker New Player Zone.
