This first time deposit bonus is nicer than bonuses at many other sites in the sense that you do not have to play a lot of hands to "free" the bonus money. This bonus is released to the account immediately upon depositing.

They also give you bonus dollars for your play. For every $10 you wager, you earn one point. For every 100 points, you earn a free dollar. For lower limits, this means little. However, for higher limit players, this is a very nice feature.

The No-Limit and Pot-Limit cash games are strongly recommended for players looking to make a profit. At Pacific Poker's Limit Hold'em games, the viewed-flop percentages in full ring games are often in the high 50s and 60s - sometimes even up in the 70s!

The upgraded Pacific Poker software offers players a lot: great graphics and functionality, improved search functions and layout, nice looking 3-D avatars, integrated casino and bingo play, an always-visible cashier and improved multi-tabling abilities - up to four tables can now be tiled or cascaded at one time. Pacific Poker also has a Quick Play, or Pacific Poker direct java version of the game, which means players can log on anywhere, without the need to download the software. Another very nice function that stands out from other poker sites is the graphic replay of hands - a useful tool for reviewing your play. Recently, Pacific Poker held a promotion exclusively for PokerTips.org readers, a freeroll tournament where the winner received a seat into the 2007 WSOP Main Event. They also completed a nice promotion launched to help celebrate the release of their improved software.

Currently, they are offering another freeroll exclusive for PokerTips.org readers. This freeroll awards the winner with a seat to the 2007 UK Open

All variations of Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud and Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo are available at Pacific Poker. The games vary between No-Limit, Pot-Limit and Fixed-Limit.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 Pacific Poker has many of these.  Full-table games, shorthanded and heads-up tables are all available. Real-money player statistics as of September 2007 show 1,900 ring-game players at peak hours, and 7,500 tournament players at peak hours.
