ONLINE POKER - SITE - Pacific Poker

When I first started playing online I played 500 hands of holdem at 6 different sites. I tracked all hands and did a weighted average to see how accurate they were. 4 of the other sites came within .002% of a perfect weighted average. The 5th was off by .05 (1/2 of 1%). Party Poker did not even come close. After 500 hands I had gotten 23% less A's than I should have gotten so have not played since.

Good site. Could do with better graphics.Needs to let you know other players whereabouts on screen.Also better entry arrangements for tournament play.

I would've given Pacific a higher rating but the software sucks. It is horribly slow and you can only play one game at a time. However, the players are some of the worst around, so it's good to make money... you'll get some bad beats though as K4o will suck you out to the end.

great site, the loosest games of any medium or high traffic site, the only thing i dont like is that you cant play more than 1 table, if you could then i would probably quit my job and no reloads. Graphic interface is very simple which i prefer

Anyone who loves to play No Limit/Pot Limit Hold 'Em games should stay away from Pacific Poker - the only one's available are tournament's. How can a poker site not have No Limit tables? I'm baffled.

Bonuses take a while to work off. Can't multitable. Soft games. Samcat needs a lesson in statistics. A 500-hand sample size is like flipping a coin 10 times and getting 9 heads. "It should be 5 times! Not 9! THE COIN MUST BE RIGGED!". All-in-all the games are easy to beat there and everything is fair.

In my opinion - Slow and very basic software. The support is next to useless. The number of disconnections suffered is only surpassed by Poker Stars, but it is easy to keep ahead of the game.

I just want to know if anyone has noticed that you win at the beginning and the longer you play the less winnable hands or river cards you see. Also after i cashed out a portion of my winnings I won 2 of 37 hands.

This is by far the worst site on the web. DO NOT PLAY HERE. The bad beats you encounter are beyond words. This is just an absolute joke of a poker room. If you are smart, you will play ANYWHERE else but here.

Site generally is great for making money. Easy games have let me be profitable consistently over last year. Some problems need fixing tho'. Once in rare while the software will hiccup and allow a player to be skipped, getting a free card without posting. This has happened in tourneys and very rarely in cash games. Unfortunatly, no player notes option. As others have stated, only one table played at a time. This is okay for me, as I feel it leads to looser players, but you definatly get a share of bad beats. This year they added NL tourneys, but still no NL cash games. Generally an okay site.

Like Dean (Comment dated 11/06/04) I too cashed out and have not been allowed to win since. I rarely get playable hands now and if I do, I'm typically beat on the FLOP. However, I've noticed this to be the case at a few other sites so I just walk away from it for a few weeks. The graphics are horrific and the playing experience frustrating. Also BEWARE, I've noted that there's a good possibility of hackers at this site.

Rating as follows - Software: 2 (utterly horrendous - slow, unstable and extremely poor support functions) Customer support: 4 (slow and inexperienced - after complaining about numerous problems playing at PP I was told they "were not twisting my arm" to play at their site) Bonus: 8 / Traffic: 6 Game selection: 5 Random card generation: 6 (didn't notice anything glaringly bad like UB is currently)Fish factor: 10 (worse players on the net - bar none. Unfortunately I will not be going back there until software problems are remedied, getting disconnected about 20 times an hour, and being able to only play one table at a time was simply an exercise in frustration.

i think they are using the same software as the atari 2600. you must have the very newest computer and the fastest net connection and i still dont know if thats enough to stay connected. the support is also a joke.

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.

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.

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.

this site is crap. first off it is full of bots. Pacific poker is one of the few sites where software can be used to have a computer play the percentage plays for someone. the single table tourneys are allright but u only start off with 800 chips. overall there are a lot better sites out there
