Home of the worst players on the internet, Pacific Poker is a gem for
anyone looking for an easy game. Their limits range from $.05-.10 to
$30-60. This site also has some of the most activity at very low limits
(such as $.25-$.50) I've seen on the Internet. This is probably the best
site for a player who doesn't want to risk much money. However, their
software leaves something to be desired. People are also frequently
disconnected from Pacific's servers, and Pacific's customer support is
also often about as competent as most of the players at the site.

Their software is pretty bad. The games are very slow, though this may be
nice for beginners since it gives them more time to think. They have their
software available in both Java and downloadable form, which is a plus. If
you use a Mac, this is one of the few poker rooms you can play without
getting a program like Virtual PC. They have also been improving their
software lately, making it smoother and expanding some features.
Nevertheless, their software remains among the worst out there. Their
servers are also fairly poor. Many people have had problems getting
disconnected from Pacific Poker's servers.
Their signup bonus is okay. It is 25% up to $100. They also give you bonus
dollars for your play. For every $10 you wager, you earn one point. For
every 100 points, you earn a free dollar. For lower limits, this means
little. However, for higher limit players, this is a very nice feature.
Their website says it takes 5 business days to cashout to Neteller, which
is inexcusable in my mind. However, sometimes I have gotten it quicker
than this (though it is 5 days most of the time).
They display the flop % and average pot which is nice.

This is the reason to play at Pacific
Poker. The players are horrible. Everyone is a calling station and
some maniacs exist. However, this will skyrocket the frustration level as
your premium hands will frequently be cracked. I recommend playing at a
lower limit than usual at first because the variance is so much higher
here. What's nice about this site is they have many micro limit games
(5-10 cent, 25-50 cents) so you don't need to risk much money to be able
to play. So if you can put up with their software, you may be in for a
nice payday.
Pacific offers both phone and email customer service. They do a decent job
at answering basic questions, but they are pretty bad at helping out with
more complicated matters. They also take a long time to answer emails.
Just hope you do not have any major problems because you will not be
dealing with the most knowledgeable or helpful support staff out there if
you do.
