For me the top banner (and the whole page) loaded blindingly fast, no problem there.
What I thought was weird however was that for example the “when is the best time to play” article mentioned Party Poker, but there wasn’t a link to visit the place! At least when I read an interesting web article I expect there to be links to the places mentioned, so I can check them out. In this case there was no link, so I’d have to just type in Party Poker to the address bar, which would cost the site one click, which of course is always bad.
