Default Are there any benefits to using Party poker?

Especially since US players arent accepted at Party, I looked at it today believing that the players were weaker.

However, when I looked into it, I see they charge 10% rake on all medium priced SNGs with no rakeback program. Furthermore their players' club doesnt look to be worth the web page its written on.

Obviously strength of opponents is a very important factor when playing poker, but I just cant understand why Party has so many players in such a competitive market.

Am I missing anything?

1) some people have access to an unmentionable rakeback program

2) party allegedly have very good marketing

3) they seem to be making an effort to attract lots of european players

Please play there, I am down 50% on my PartyGaming shares since they cut off US players last year.
