what is pacific poker

pacific poker is one of the oldest sites on the net, and it shows, because the software is still a bit slow, despite that they upgraded the software last year. Finally they added the option to play up to five tables simultaneously. Before the upgrade you could only play one table, but unfortunately it doesn't work very well and the program sometimes freezes when you try to play more then one table. The graphics are so so but the lobby is good with lots of useful information.

The good news is that the rake is quite low at the micro and low levels and that there are plenty of fish "swimming around in the Pacific." It's seems that most players hasn't the patience that is required to swim in the wastness of "the Pacific" and thus becomes "fish". I think that the sluggishness of the software is to blame because many players become bored when they don't get enough hands so they start to play more hands. There are plenty of games up to mid stakes. So if you have patience, Pacific Poker is a good place to play at. They have sign-up bonus but it's difficult to get because you have to play many hands before the bonus is released. But they have a very good Sunday tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $50,000 that cost only $65.
