Party Academy is a FREE online poker training site run by the wildly successful poker-room Party Poker. The Party Academy is another example of an online poker site seeking to better educate their player base, and with a lot of revenue to back them the site does an excellent job of informing and educating its players through Party Academy.

Obviously as a free online poker training site the content is geared towards new, and/or struggling, poker players, but there is also a decent amount of more advanced articles, lessons, and videos for more experienced poker players to make use of.

The Academy is broken up into different levels, with players having to pass a certain threshold –whether it’s opening a real-money account, or earning a certain amount of player points—to gain access to the area. Each area contains progressively more advanced content than the previous.

• White Chip = Play Money Player

• Red Chip = Real Money Player

• Green Chip = 50 Player Points

• Gold Chip = 150 Player Points

• Black Chip = 300 Player Points

Each section grants access to 68 videos and 24 articles, so in all, a Black Chip member of Party Academy will have access to 340 videos and 120 articles, which is a considerable content library. In addition to the videos and articles, members of Party Academy will be able to test their skill and knowledge through quizzes and lessons.

• Video Content: The videos at Party Academy are shorter than other training sites, but the production quality is extremely high.  Set up to be more of situational examples, the videos lack the spur of the moment decision-making process from other online poker training sites.

• Written Content: with 120 articles, Part Academy has one of the largest written strategy-based content libraries you’ll find. Generally, written articles can help better explain certain points that instructors have trouble making verbally.

• Bonus Material: The interactive aspect of Party Academy’s quizzes and lessons should keep players interested as they are working on their game.

Drawbacks

Ok, so like all other FREE training sites the content is far from groundbreaking. But for new players, especially if they already have a Party Poker account, this is a great site to become a member of.

Also the lack of any big name poker pros, forum, and blogs detracts from the site’s brand, and doesn’t offer the ‘community feel’ of other training sites -- Where members can interact and discuss hands with each other, and get to know a little bit about the instructors.

Bang For Your Buck

Did I mention Party Academy is FREE??? You really have nothing to lose by signing up at Party Academy, if you feel it doesn’t improve your game all you will have lost is a little bit of time, but I think every new player will have their poker game improved if they join Party Academy and utilize their content.
