Pacific Poker review

Pacific Poker is 888.coms online poker room. 888.com is the company behind Casino on Net, one of the oldest and best known online casinos. The name itself is a guarantee towards the honesty and respect that Pacific Poker’s Players are treated with.
For some reason – despite the fact that it takes a little more rake than the industry standard – Pacific Poker seems to be an extremely popular online poker room. Players flock to it and I’m sure that if it ever decided to accept US players it would simply be assaulted by Americans.
The NL and PL cash games at Pacific Poker are particularly juice, probably due to the influx of gamblers from the casino. That would party explain its immense popularity with the poker playing public too.

Pacific Poker’s software is an in-house creation. No other poker room uses this software, as Pacific Poker is not looking to launch it own poker network. The software suffered a couple of major overhauls in 2007 and 2008, and it is now on par with the best the industry has to offer. There are 3D-like avatars now, mini table views to aid with the multi tabling, all sorts of useful statistics, 3 table views etc.

The competition is one of the softest ever online. Flops viewed percentages have been known to hit 65-70% on some limits.
The sign-up bonus offered by Pacific Poker is a 100% match up to $400. 25% of the bonus lands in players’ real money accounts upfront. The maximum on this 25% bonus is $100. The remaining 75% of the bonus has to be unlocked the old fashioned way.
