Pacific Poker Review

Pacific Poker is a part of the 888 Holdings Network, the founder of the largest online gaming network, Casino-on-net. 888.com offers players a wide range of games that include Poker games, Casino Games, Bingo Games and Sports betting with all the games integrated for easy access from one site to the other.

The mixed community of players makes the games loose, providing a lot of excitement at the poker tables and more frequent chances of winning the pot. One can find some of the craziest bets on pots with more than 80% of flop percentages to be seen, giving you vast opportunities of making profits here.

Software:

After its recent makeover, the Pacific Poker website has some great features added to the previously dull and not so well functioning software. The lobby is now attractively designed and allows you to filter through the games with ease. This helps to narrow down your search to take you quickly to your desired game. The software itself has received a massive upgrade making it more functional and offering smooth playability.

The tables are large and organized while the cards are easily visible and clear. Customizable 3-D avatars have made a huge amount of difference as players can adjust the size of the window they wish to play at. Buttons are easy to maneuver and the 30-second timer keeps the games rolling at a steady pace.

Also available are turbo tables if you are interested in faster game play. The Pacific Poker software is offered in Java as well as downloadable versions. This allows Mac and Linux users to also enjoy the game, a feature not to be found at any other gaming site.

You can also view your hand histories through the graphic replay of the played hands. Pacific Poker also offers players a notes facility, an insight into the flop percentages and the average pot size are available too.

Games:

Games offered at Pacific Poker include the all-time favorite Texas Holdem in Limit, No Limit and Pot Limit, Omaha, Omaha High-Low, Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud High-Low. Limits start as low as $0.05/$0.10 making it possible for micro players to attempt games as well. The limits can go up as high as $75/$150. The Fixed Limit games are considered a more lucrative option as the games here are loose and give players more chances of making profitable wagers.

Tournaments:

Pacific Poker offers various single table tournaments, multi table tournaments, satellite tournaments and sit and go tournaments with low buy-ins. Also there are the regular tournaments with guaranteed pool prizes and the competition is not very strong, making it easy for players to win the pot. The sit and go tournaments are generally 3 to 5 handed instead of the common 9 to 10 at the other poker playing websites.

Weekly tournaments are also available with freerolls that are especially on offer for new players to Pacific Poker. Each Sunday there is an assured event that many players look forward to. There is a lot to be made here provided you have the patience and can withstand the high rake applied by Pacific Poker on each pot.

However, this bonus can only be received if you can wager a minimum of 20 times the amount on live games. You have 30 days in which to clear this amount. There are no other bonuses on offer but Pacific Poker presents some good promotional offers.
