First off, Pacific Poker scores mad points for being powered by 888.com’s cutting-edge software, which is download-free for both Mac and Linux systems and features wicked-fast load times and smooth transitions on PC platforms. This fact in itself has nearly doubled the room's player turnout, pumping up pots and loosening up play.
Consequently, Pacific's no-limit, pot-limit and fixed-limit Hold'em, Omaha, Seven-Card Stud, Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo and Omaha Hi-Lo games are always packed to the gills with fresh, unsuspecting fish who will bite at just about anything.
In fact, it almost seems like all the fish that should be showing up at fellow 888 site Lucky Ace have fled to Pacific's lagoon in an attempt to evade Lucky’s renowned sharks. By some estimates, Pacific’s viewed-flop rate is upwards of 70 percent, and often, every player at a given table will stay in to see the river.
And yet, while every portal and online gambling magazine that reviews Pacific says as much, for some reason it only draws some 2,000 players during its peak hours and tourneys. That’s why we’re going to stoop to bolded caps here and say it as plainly and simply as humanly possible: THERE ARE LOTS OF JUICY AND VERY INEXPERIENCED FISH AT PACIFIC POKER. IF YOU CAN PLAY EVEN SLIGHLY BETTER THAN THE NEXT GUY, YOU CAN MAKE GOOD MONEY AT ITS TABLES!
But on top of the fact that so much fresh tuna has found its way into Pacific's pond, the room also offers one of the biggest instant bonuses ever: Currently, players who make their first deposits at the room get an enormous bonus, 40 percent of which hits their accounts immediately. So if you deposit the full bonus limit, Pacific will shoot you a wallet-full of playable euros within seconds. Now that’s what we call “free money.”
Other Pacific strengths include the room’s graphics and player resources, which are, in a word, unbeatable. Things like 3D avatars, visible cashiers and instant hand replay might seem like window dressing at first, but they actually enrich the experience a hundredfold and often help players learn from their mistakes.
Taken together, these features all add up to one heck of a strong poker room, and we really can't help but slap a 9.2 rating on this baby and again urge you to go and gecha' some of its fishy goodness.
