Detailed Room Review For Pacific Poker – The Easiest Online Poker Site?

by The Poker Dog

Pacific Poker | 888.com are one of the original poker sites and still firmly in the top 10 despite pulling out of the US market in late 2006. The key feature of this site is the (larger) casino side – many of the players you will find at the tables come via this and have little or no poker experienced. This in turn makes the tables extremely profitable for those with a little poker strategy knowledge!

The 100% Pacific Poker | 888.com sign-up bonus is regularly boosted by other promotions – often qualifiers unique to this site. The software is also a plus – the 3-d effect tables went a long way to setting the standard for the poker business.

Pacific Poker | 888.com Detailed Room Review – Bonuses And Promotions

Unlike many poker rooms the Pacific Poker sign-up bonus is cleared by ‘wagering’ 20 times the bonus amount. Taking tournament (or sng) fees or bets made in cash games it is easy to see how quickly the initial $100 will be cleared.

What makes Pacific Poker stand out is the number of ongoing promotions for regular players – these come up almost every week and include leader-boards, satellite qualifiers and cash give-aways. Check out the Pacific Poker website for details of the latest and greatest offers!

Update: April 2008 – Pacific | 888.com Poker Sign-up bonus improved with the addition of a 75% to $300 extra incentive on your first deposit. This is cleared by collecting just 14 ‘Comp Points’ for every $1 of the poker bonus amount.

Pacific Poker | 888.com Detailed Room Review – Cash Game Selection

The cash games are in fact the number #1 reason to check out Pacific Poker. These have a (rightful) reputation for being the easiest poker games anywhere online. With so many casino players at this site the games are juicy from the micro-stakes right up to the mid-levels ($2 / $4 and even higher)

Cash games focus on Holdem (both no-limit and limit are popular) and to a lesser extent Omaha. There are other games available but these tables are never very busy.

Pacific Poker | 888.com Detailed Room Review – Tournament Selection

A great selection of Pacific Poker tournaments are available – focusing on Texas Holdem. Many of these have guaranteed prize pools ranging from $80k through $12k and smaller. The selection is excellent with turbo, super turbo and re-buy poker tournaments all available.

For players new to the game there are many smaller buy-in tournaments for a few dollars (or even cents!) available, freerolls and satellite qualifiers are also popular at this site… again the terrible opponents make Pacific Poker tournaments vary profitable for the thinking poker player.

The software is excellent – from the easy to navigate lobby through to the 3-d effect tables.
