ONLINE POKER - SITE - Pacific Poker

I like Pacific more than most reviewers. The games are no slower than those on Prima and Paradise, though they are slower than Party/Empire. I find the software o.k. for note taking. Some games are loose as a goose, but not all. The bonus takes a long time, but that doesn't bother me much as I plan to pluck pigeons there for awhile. One negative is that the rake on a $5 pot is 10 whopping percent. It gets more rational as the pot increases and is only a problem for those in the micro mini games. But, still, they exact a high price from those just learning the game.

great site for winning money, would rank higher but can only play one table at a time and there is no reload bonuses, like other sites give. people are calling stations and i love it!!!!

I have been playing online poker for about 14 months on Party, Empire, Paradise and Pacific. Which is best? I wish I could tell you. All have bad beats, so does a home game! This is my experience at Pacific, which I have been playing only two months. I deposited $200 and received a $50 bonus immediately, which was nice. I played for one month and won approximately $350 at the $1/$2 table. I was getting some good cards in general and the other players were quite loose, couldn't believe the raises preflop with the hands they had. The people that I have played with at Pacific will play almost any hand anytime from any position. One thing I especially noticed that occured quite frequently was that at show down with 2/3 players that many times, regardless of the pot size all would fold to a bet. This is not how real poker is supposed to be played. However, at times I was the one who bet, never bluffing I might add. After about a month of "good luck" and some good play on my part I withdrew my original $200 and the $75 bonuses I had received. I began getting terrible hands routinely, I mean terrible hands for a week, playing a couple of hours each day. I lost about $150 over the course of a couple of weeks. I played tightly and still lost but I did not get involved in many hands and thus did not experience many bad beats. I began to play extremely tightly and have slowly begun to win again. I don't find the bad beats any different at this site than at any of the others. However you will probably experience more of these here because many, many players play to the river hoping to catch the miracle card and sometimes they do, this is a fact at Pacific. I will continue to play at Pacific for a few more months and play very tightly and not get too involved in the pots, especially after the flop and see what happens. I am still "up" in money but we shall see. It is very difficult playing against the opponents at Pacific as they do not seem to care about pot odds, outs, etc. I have heard that the real fish are at Pacific but that depends on how you view fish. If you have one or two at a table going too far with their hands, etc. I would like it much better. When you 5 or 6 going in with any hand and going to river with them it becomes very difficult to play reasonably. And, of course, you will experience many more players "hitting" their draws because more are "in the pot". I also plan to redeposit some money into my account and see what happens concerning the starting hands I have been dealt.

Played at Pacific about a month now and let me tell you it is an experience to be sure. Facts, maam, just the facts! I have been disconnected more at this site than any other. When you are disconnected you must get out of system log back on and put in password again. What a hassle! The cards are so small you can easily get a spade and club confused, yes you can, I know, 4 clubs and 1 spade do not make a flush, I found out the hard way. Why so small? Also, no four color decks, with cards this puny they really need four colors. The players are the loosest ever. Many are maniacs. If you want bad beats just play here. If you are tight all the time you can win but it may not be much fun. It's a fun site to play occasionally but I certainly would not make it my home port! You have to experience the games to believe them. I would certainly give this site a try to see if you like these kind of games. If you want a lot of preflop raising with JQ offsuit, and 3/4 going to river this is the place for you but be prepared for server problems over the long run.

this site is a joke,along with the dissconnections there are some scandalously poor players,all of whom some how take ur money with there poor call,dont play

If you like bad beats, ridiculous outdraws and extremely suspicious poker that will have you pulling you hair out, then this is the site for YOU! Never play with house money (the "gifts" they offer you), never demand money back from the site, and cash out all at once and not piecemeal. The disconnections are a complete joke.Anyone who says that online poker is not rigged in incredibly naive IMO. It's both unregulated and often run by shady organisations. But if your patient and have a very think skin, you can win money here.I like the graphics outlay better than any other site BTW. Nice easy to read well spaced out table with no cartoony crap.

Pacific Poker is by far the best site around as far as profits go. If you don't like the beats, you are playing the wrong types of hands and the wrong limits. Try the 5/10 tables, they are easier to beat than most sites 1/2. Could it be because the site is run by 888.com (the biggest online casino)? Only drawback is the disconnects.
