Limits and Rake
 

This site is one of the better medium to low limit sites. Limits range from $0.05/$0.10 to $30/$60. A lot of experts consider the low limit games at Pacific Poker to be terrific value as players tend to be loose and the rake is generous. For $0.05/$0.10 games the maximum rake is 6 cents. For the $25/$50 cent game the rake is capped at $0.30 cents. Both of these limits provide excellent value for new poker players. For the $0.5/$1 and $1/$2 games the rake is capped at $1.25, which is also better than most sites. For games above $1/$2 the rake is a standard 5 per cent capped at $3.


Player Traffic
 

One of the larger internet poker rooms, PacificPoker is run by the hugely popular casino, Casino on Net. Pacific run their own events and so draw in a high number of poker players from advertising on TV and the web. There is plenty of action here due to the high number of players and so there is little waiting time required for your favourite events.


Playability
 

Very juicy indeed. Pacific brings in a high number of gamblers from it's casino operation, so lots of loose action. Navigation around Pacific is easy and the tables have a good look and feel to them. But I consider professional poker players, that make a living out of the game, as investors, I count systematic losers who play for enjoyment as gamblers and PacificPoker has many of these.


Software and Extra Features
 

The table layout is excellent and easy to view as is the nicely designed lobby, players should have no problems being comfortable here for many hours as the colors used are very easy on the eye. The software itself runs nicely and has recently been improved to run at a good speed even during peak periods. Pacific Poker is owned by the massive 888 Casino.
