Online Poker Room Reviews - Pacific Poker "Pacific
Poker is operated by Cassava Enterprises (Gibraltar) Limited, a member Pacific Poker is probably one of the most fish-filled card rooms on the internet. To say that the standard of play here is appalling is a stark understatement. Players on this site are equally incompetent in pretty much every game going. Whether it be Hold'em, Omaha H/L, Stud H/L, Stud or standard Omaha, you can be sure that these fish will chase every conceivable draw obliviously, in blatant defiance of the odds. What this means for good players such as ourselves is that two things are bound to happen: 1) You will suffer brutal and horrific bad beats of the likes you have never even dared to imagine. 2) You will make whopping profits on your good hands. Far more than on most other poker sites. So, why is this one of the best oceans to perform a spot of fishing in? The simple answer is that this is part of one of the largest casinos on the internet. As a result, the majority of players on there are not poker players. They are gamblers.
Pacific Poker - The main interface is clean and logically laid out. The software is reasonably good and the menu system is very user friendly. Pacific offers the 5 most common poker games: Holdem, Omaha, Omaha H/L, Stud and Stud H/L, as well as Sit & Go tournaments and MTTs. Stakes range from the 5c/10c micro-limit rooms all the way up to $30/$60 for those of you who are a bit more serious... The lower buy-in Sit & Go games ($16 and under) tend not to last very long as there is invariably a flurry of ridiculous all-ins with "quality" hands such as J7s and K8o....... Although, naturally, should you witness such an all-in, you should always congratulate the offending fish heartily to encourage his future stupidity. At the end of the day this is how good players make money: By capitalising on the mistakes of others. 70% of the field is knocked out per hour in the MTTs. A figure that would shock even the most hardened veteran of such endeavours. The best strategy here is to fold as much as possible and push your big hands with your fingers firmly crossed.
Pacific Poker - 50%-60% seeing the flop is quite normal on this site The site offers a variety of payment options, including Neteller, Credit/Debit cards and various bank transfers and depositing is extremely easy. Cashing out can sometimes be slow and it may take a few days for your funds to get back to you. The site offers an initial 25% deposit bonus of up to $100 and there are also occasional spot bonuses ($25 extra for $50, etc). The requirement for unlocking the bonus is wagering 20 times the amount of the bonus. This basically means playing 1 hour at a table per $10 of bonus. (Assuming you are playing $2/$4 or thereabouts) Summary Pacific Poker is one of the biggest sites for fish on the net. You can deposit as little as $20. The site spreads all 5 major poker games: Holdem, Omaha, Omaha H/L, Stud, Stud H/L. Typically 50-60% see the flop in a given game. A wide variety of payment methods are available, although cashing out can sometimes be slow. Sit & Go tournaments and MTTs are fast. 70% of the field drops per hour in an MTT. Your premium hands are ultra-profitable on this site and you can expect to get paid off big time when they hit. Overall Mark: 9/10
