Pacific Poker Review

Summary (7.2)
Pacific Poker has a good player base and rather soft competition. The site provides a great gaming experience for poker players with its selection of games. The software and graphics at the site are advanced and include three – dimensional avatars as playing characters. Pacific Poker offers its software in different languages including German, Swedish, Spanish, French, Danish, Dutch, Italian, and Portuguese. The site boasts its Texas Hold'em tables but has only single tables. The bonus is good but comes with too many strings attached and is difficult to take advantage of.

Traffic (7)
Pacific Poker has very good player traffic at its site. Pacific Poker shows good growth potential and is constantly getting new players. The player traffics during peak hours at Pacific Poker is about 9000 players. Pacific Poker was founded in 2004 and although this makes Pacific Poker a fairly early and new poker site, it still has not progressed as far as some of its contemporaries. A good number of the player traffic is real players and the majority of the players are tournament players. In fact, about one- third of the player traffic take part in the poker tourneys as hosted by the site.

Tournaments (5)
Pacific Poker is a small site and therefore lacks both the quality and quantity of poker tournaments that many of the other poker sites seem to have. Pacific Poker does host a few poker tournaments that are mostly played for small stakes and have minimal buy- ins. Pacific Poker has often been described as a small stakes player’s dream site because the competition level among the tournament players is also less and the players are soft. There are very few strong players at this site as Pacific Poker does not offer many tournaments with big buy-ins. Pacific Poker hosts tourneys with guaranteed prizes and scheduled events. Multi table tournaments are also available at Pacific Poker and can be played for games like Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo.

Game Variety (8)
Pacific Poker has a good selection of poker games which include the ever popular Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha hi-lo, 7-stud and7-stud hi-lo. The games are played in various limits such as No Limit, Fixed Limit and Pot Limit. Of all the games only Texas Hold’em is available in all three. The rest of the games can be played only in Pot Limit and Fixed Limit. The game stakes for the fixed limit start at $0.05 and go as far as $60. The no limit and pot limit stakes start at $0.05 and go up to $6.

Competition (9.5)
One of the main reasons why players come to game at this site is to make some fast money of the soft competition. Unlike other sites that have at least a medium percentage of experienced players to balance out their soft competition, Pacific Poker has different statistics. The majority of its players are soft, which is something you will find at almost all tables here at Pacific Poker. Pacific Poker has an incredible flop rate when compared to other sites such as an 80% flop rate even evident at tables with stakes that go up to $10. If you are looking for the site with the softest competition then Pacific Poker is the place for you.

Bonuses (4.5)
The signup bonus at Pacific Poker is not as substantial as some of the generous offers you will find at other poker sites and is only a meager 100% match on your initial deposit for an amount up to $400. Players are not required to play for many turn to activate or collect the bonus as it is instantly deposited into your account. Pacific Poker also has a scheme of bonus points which you earn as you p lay. Every $10 wager gives you a point and for every 100 points you get a 1 dollar into your account.

Support (7)
Pacific Poker offers customer support via phone and email but response with emails is a bit slow. The phone lines are often busy and this is very inconvenient.

Deposit & Cashout Methods (8.5)
Pacific Poker has a good selection of deposit methods that include credit card, Neteller, PaySafeCard, PrePaidATM, FirePay, Citadel, wire transfer, bank transfer and check. Withdrawals are possible via credit card and debit card, Neteller, FirePay, PrePaidATM, wire transfer and bank transfer.
