Make a New Year resolution to improve your game with PartyPoker.com. Whether you start 2008 by aiming to boost your bankroll, change your style of play, or win a seat at an exotic live event, this is the place to be.
We’ve even organised three special New Year’s PartyRoll tournaments on January 5 - including one with a $10,000 prize pool – as an incentive to get your 2008 bankroll off to a winning start.
To enter you simply need the PartyPoints you receive while enjoying your normal real money games. The more points you earn from January 1 through 4, the bigger the tournament you can play.
Gaining points will be easier if you stick to your New Year’s Revolution poker plan. For example, you could:
Try something different by playing Omaha or 7 Card Stud
Break with your routine and experience the Hellkats or the $300K Guaranteed Sunday
Be more adventurous and play two cash tables at the same time
Focus on what you’re best at and aim to win five cash sessions in a row
Think outside the box by learning to read your opponent and mixing up your own style of play
Experience new places and qualify for a live poker event
Stick with some of these resolutions between 00.01 (ET) on January 1, 2008 and 23.59 (ET) on January 4, and you should collect enough PartyPoints to enter one of the New Year’s PartyRoll tournaments with no buy-in needed.
You can even play in more than one if you earn enough points.
Enjoy your New Year’s Revolution, and good luck at the tables.

Blackjack is now awailable at Party Poker as a single player game where you can win further cash prizes!!
The objective of Blackjack is to accumulate cards with a total value of as close to 21 as possible without going over 21. The value of a hand is the sum of the point counts of each card in the hand. The value assigned to the cards is as follows:
Cards 2 through 10 are valued as indicated.
Face cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are all valued at 10 points.
An Ace counts as one or 11, whichever is to the player’s advantage. It is worth 11 unless that would cause hand value to exceed 21 (bust), in which case it has a value of 1.
Soft total - a hand that contains an Ace that can be counted as 11 without the total going above 21. For example: Ace-6 is soft 17.
Hard total - a hand that contains an Ace that can be counted as only 1 because counting it as 11 would make the hand go over 21. For example: Ace-6-10 is hard 17.
If the player and the house tie, it is a push and no one wins. Ace and 10 (Blackjack) on the first two cards dealt is an automatic player win at 1.5 to 1, unless the house ties.
Game Details:
The game is available only in ‘real money’ mode.
The minimum bet in the game is $1 and the maximum bet is $200. The maximum bet applies for the initial bet of the game.
Eight decks are used and each deck has 52 cards.
The deck is shuffled after 10% of the cards in the decks are used.
The dealer draws a card on soft 17.
Three maximum splits are allowed
The number of cards dealt to the dealer or the player is limited only by choice (by clicking on ‘Stand’) or by going bust.
If the dealer has a 10, Jack, Queen or King as the up card, it is possible he has a Blackjack. In this instance, the player’s hand will lose except with another Blackjack. The dealer will check whether a Blackjack is possible and will collect the losing bet immediately if he does have a Blackjack.
