Players have now three table views to choose from, six action buttons in every view, info boxes right at the table during tournaments showing relevant stats such as players remaining and stack sizes and a new unique sit-and-go tab. Player avatar choices have recently been improved and they have also added personalization options. Players are now able to resize the gaming window due to its mini-view functions for multi-tabling.

Haven't had a change to try this site yet, but mates say its not so good as it should be in some reasons.. I think its just average site, just like "stiborici" said before and it just needs to develop a little bit more..
ZmxPowah	Wednesday, February 24, 2010
I was playing at Pacific for some time and i am still playing sometimes but i think it's minimal above average. Transactions are bad many of my friends have problems with them and sometimes they w8 more then week for withdraw. Software looks crapy and sometimes it's really annoying , while playing u need to beware of straight cause in Pacific nearly everytime they complete. Traffic i really low it's hard to find much table at higher stakes especially in the night...so players with SSS can't find much here They are trying to make some new promotions to get new players but they loyality system is really pure... U can exchange points for cash but u won't get much from them.... The best thing at Pacific are oponents. There are a lot of really weak players and i think that's the reason to play there u can get much from winrate because of them. And another good thing is support... it's one of best i ever meet , but one thing which make me feel weird is that support can check your password because before every case they ask you about 2 first letters of your password which made me little suspicious.

While the games are "easy" the frequent disconnections and technical problems override any advantages and can make playing on Pacific extremely frustrating. I stopped playing there for almost four months and then decided to try again to see if the problems had been corrected. I lasted less than 10 minutes in a tournament before I was disconnected and my cards were folded. I re-booted and again, my hand was folded. It appears that nothing has been done and the same problems are going on at Pacific.

It is a good poker room with very tempting offers and the possibility of performance. It is one of the most popular online poker rooms with various promotions. Contribute a better translation
kajoll	Monday, February 01, 2010
in my opinion,it s poker serwis is a average site.Players are not very good but lobby and character of them should be done better
Aleshimo	Sunday, January 31, 2010
Software: 6 - Ease of use is definitely Pacific’s biggest virtue when looking about their software. There’s nothing fancy about the overly green look of the lobby but one will have no trouble navigating through it. Popularity: 7 - 888 Poker has managed to stay relevant in the world of online poker. The room is still pretty popular in Europe. Security: 9 This is one place where people shouldn’t have to worry about the scandals that have plagued other rooms over the years. Support 9. The room offers three different means of contacting them. Live chat, e-mail, and phone support. Promotion: 6. $8 FREE bonus and 100% up to $400 + $25. Rakeback not available.

As Pacific Poker is operated by 888 Holdings (listed on LSE) and licensed in Gibraltar it is basically a very trustworthy poker room. However, there are some minor problems. The password is only 8 characters long and they may send it by email! I guess the idea is to serve casual and hobby players, not professional sharks. Their rewards program is not very generous. They calculate rake according to the weighted contributed method. The software is not as resource demanding as that of Ongame networks but not very good either. NLHE 6-max games are good. There is some action at full ring tables too. If you play Limit Hold'em, Omaha or Stud, they offer thin traffic. If you play Sit and Go tournaments you may have to wait for the tables to fill.

In my opinion Parcific is not the place i will play at. not because its a bad place to play at but i just haven been happy to play there.
shokaku	Monday, October 19, 2009
Pacific Poker is the biggest room in the Pacific Poker network. Lucky Ace and Littlewoods are the two other known rooms. The software is no longer as buggy as it once was. They offer Hold'em, Omaha and Stud games, but no Razz. Traffic at Stud is very low, and can't compete with the bigger rooms or networks, even in Hold'em. Cash games start quite low, but the starting limits for SnGs are a bit high for a small bankroll. Cashouts in the whole group will take longer as usual. They will be processed only after a 4 days delay.

In my opinion, Pacific Poker is an average site. The tournaments are not the best, however the cash game is really good. You can win money easier than other sites. I don't like the graphics, but on the other hand it is easy to play and easy to use. Cash games are so good above 0.10/0.25$ blinds. There aren't a lot tours, like other sites, for example Full Tilt Poker. One of the best things at Pacific Poker is the Online Support. Maybe they have the best support. So I think this site has nothing special, but they give nice bonuses and chances to win packages to live tournaments.
