The loosest games online
Pacific Poker probably has the loosest action to be found online. Many casino gamblers with weak poker skills visit this room, which means that an experienced poker player has a very good chance of making a healthy profit. In some $15-$30 Hold'em games the view flop percentage is a high a 70. However, the Hold'em section isn't the only "gold mine" at Pacific even though most of the traffic in the room goes there (especially the fixed limit ring games and tournaments are well visited). The Omaha Hi-Lo games are also very lucrative for strong players.
Poor graphics - good statistics
The software has been Pacific Pokers biggest weakness in the past and it still needs some improvement. The games are rather slow and the graphics are not very visually appealing. In addition to this, you're not allowed to play at more than one table at once at Pacific. This is of course a big minus if you are a skilled multi table player but on the other hand this restriction keeps the games loose - players might not have the patience to wait for strong hands under these circumstances. The statistic functions are good - all the information you need is presented in the lobby and detailed game history, with graphical playback, is offered.
Great promotions
Pacific Poker is top class when it comes to promotions. The outstanding feature is the "Relay Races" with big payouts for players who deposits $50 during the promo day and plays a specified number of hands. There is also a loyalty bonus program in which you get 1 bonus for every $10 bet on raked hands. 100 bonus points is worth $1.
