Pacific Poker has grown tremendously during last year to become the favorite poker room for many Texas Hold’em players looking for very “juicy” high-action tables and frequent promotions. No-limit and Pot-Limit cash games were launched in January, with the usual loose and wild action. Warmly recommended for players looking to have a good chance at winning. There are many special promotions (such as money added and free rolls). Pacific Poker is part of the group behind the world’s largest casino, Casino-on-Net, so there are a lot of interesting casino customers at the tables! At the limit Hold’em games on Pacific Poker, the view flop percentage in full ring games are often is in the 60-ies and 70's - even up in the 80's! The no-limit games so far are often in the 50's. The traffic is concentrated to the hold’em games. The action and promotions are great , but the software is rather sub-standard and the graphics leaves room for major improvement. Real money player statistics for Pacific Poker - May 2005: 2200-2600 ring game players at peak hours, and 3500-5000 tournament players at peak hours.
Pacific Poker has one of the worst software packages in the industry, although it has improved quite a bit in 2005. It is thanks to the juicy games and great promotions they are a leader - not the software. Even after three rounds of improvements, the software is rather slow with mediocre graphics. A player is only allowed to play at one table at a time (which probably contributes to the high action at the tables, with people who simply cannot wait to play hands). However, improvements are being done and in 2005 no-limit ring games have been added, along with short-handed tables and note taking support. The software does seem to run more smoothly nowadays, but there are some occasional problems. The software has the advanced buttons like check/fold etc to make your playing experience relaxing. The lobby has information on view flop percentage and hands played per hour. There is a hand history statistics function which allows you to review your previous hands.
At Pacific Poker, you will find a suite of features and functionality not available on any other poker network anywhere on the Internet. Features include dual viewing mode, a full screen option, player notes, buddy list, real time gaming history, live support and refer-a-friend.
Very good, but it is very concentrated to two areas, fixed limit Holdem ring games and Holdem tournaments. There are typically 2200-2600 players at peak hours, out of which at least 85-95% are in the Holdem section. Most of the other traffic is in Omaha Hi-Lo and 7-Card-Stud High.
There has been incredible growth the last 12 months. Pacific Poker now boasts tournament traffic of 3500-5000 real money players at peak hours!
Average, as they do not offer no-limit and pot-limit versions of the ring games. There is the usual Holdem, Hi and Hi-Lo in Omaha and seven-card stud games on offer. There is also 1-on-1 tables. Party Poker allows micro-limit tables down to $0.05/$0.10. The maximum limit is $15/$30 in all games, except the 1-on-1 ring games which still have only the $3/$6 limits.
The rake is at the average of the industry, with better offers at micro-levels and somewhat better at the highest stakes. Pacific Poker has a "No Flop - No Drop" rake policy, like most sites. This means that Pacific Poker only rakes the pot when the flop is reached. A maximum of $1 is taken out of the pots up to $1/$2 games. At limits below $1/$2 the house takes less than $1, which gives good value for low limit players. At higher limits, $2/$4 and above, Pacific Pokers rake structure is analogous to most other sites
Probably the most juicy games online! But the good-old crazy 85% view flop percentages at $15/$30 tables is down to maybe 65-70% in best case. Thanks to Casino-on-Net’s operations, there are a lot of less experienced poker players, often with a sweet tooth for gambling... At peak hours you typically find one or two full ring games (10 players) with a view flop percentage in the 50-ies or 60-ies. If you are looking to make a profit the Omaha Hi-Lo tables are very good as well.
