- General:
888poker owns the worlds largest casino - 888 - so there are a lot of wild casino customers at the tables! Actually, it´s the loosest online poker room, making Pacific Poker a place we can strongly recommend to anybody looking for maniacs to sit down with! After a few updates, the software is decent, and all the standard features are now available. Note that withdrawels are paused for 3 days before processing, and after you try to withdraw $5,000 in a month you need to verify your identity.
Fish
Probably the most juicy games online! The Aquarium as it´s called is packed with fish, but often with aggresive tendencies! Thanks to Casino-on-Nets operations, there are a lot of less experienced poker players, often with a sweet tooth for gambling. If you are looking to make a profit the Omaha Hi-Lo tables are very good as well.
Traffic
Peak Time: 5pm-11pm(EST)
Cash-games: up to 2.000
Tournaments: up to 8.000
Traffic is mainly concentrated around fixed limit Holdem and Holdem tournaments. About 90% of all cash game trafiic in the Holdem section. Most of the other traffic is in Omaha Hi-Lo and 7-Card-Stud High. Tournament traffic is good.
Software
888pokers software has just been seriously updated, with better graphics, funtionality, navigation along with several brand new features. In the lobby you´ll now find a useful filter to quickly find the tables of your interest. Unfortunately, plrs/flop is no longer instantly shown in the lobby, but by clicking the \'i\' for info. Players get to choose been 21 different characters and 5 backgrounds. When seated, you choose your own seat graphically. The softwars runs acceptable and graphics has definately been shined up a lot! There is a splendid hand history function which enables you to replay old hands. Unfortunately, there are no Stats available at the table.
Tournaments
888poker is offering several freerolls, and boasts tournament traffic of nearly 6000 real money players at peak hours. The level is extremely poor, and often you have to check an extra time to make sure that a no-limit tournament is not a fixed limit tournament, because of the amusing fact the limps and click-raises are a Pacific Poker players best friend. Note that Sit and Gos are with 800 in chips. Many daily $5000 and $10.000 Guaranteed Tournaments!
Support
888poker supports their players in all ways possible! For quick questions the Live Chat is available with a proffesional staff. Email support quickly gives you a response on more complicated matters, and there´s even a Phone Support should you prefer.
Bonus
888poker will match your first deposit up to $400 bonus, where they will give you 25% of your first deposit up to $100 INSTANT, meaning if you deposit $400 you´ll have $500 to play for + $300 extra to be earned. All bonuses may be withdrawn after twenty times the bonus amount received has been wagered (e.g., a $100 dollar Bonus must be wagered in a total amount equaling no less than $2,000).
