I have never been so unhappy as I was playing Pacific Poker... I had an account there for officially one day. I played about 300 raked hands that day. The software sucks, their deposit bonuses are insane... (you have to wager 30 times the amount you earn in deposit before you unlock it) and the worst part... When I withdrew my money from PartyPoker, I had it within two hours. I tried to withdrawal my money from PacificPoker over a week ago and haven't gotten so much as an email from them. When I finally broke down and emailed them, they said it takes 4-5 business days to withdrawal money, WTF? It only took them 30 seconds accept my money.Down with ParadisePoker, put your money into Stars, or Party, UB or even FullTilt (hey, I'm a TruePoker fan myself) anyplace but Pacific

Pacific pays their bonuses up front so you need not play qualifying raked hands. Bonuses are easy to unlock.They do take 5 business days to pay, if you ask for it wired directly. I have had no problems with Pacific - and the games are eas yto beat.

I like Pacific Poker. What I like about Pacific is :* straight forward poker (simple graphics, maybe too simple though)* their s'n'g 5 seats* their $30+3 buy-in $20,000 multi-table tourneys each night* great customer service (part of 888.com casino)When I loose on Pacific I usually have only myself too blame and not a run of badbeats.I have withdrawn a few times from them and yes they take around 3-4 business days to send the money to neteller but beside PartyPoker who takes only 2 hours, everybody else is about the same.On the down side, they allow you to play on one table only at a time which helped me though with my patience.

Pacific has horrible software, and worse players. If you can stomach the disconnects, site outages, and mediocre interface (no hand histories, poor NL raising controls, etc) - it can be profitable. I decided it wasn't worth the energy and the hassles, there's good enough games elsewhere.

Does have hand histories.They have had some problems with outages, but that seems to be getting better.Yes, the graphics are bad, and so are the players - A good trade off in my opinion.

I pretty much second everything everyone has said. Bad interface, terrible software, slow cashouts, and outages (getting better). With all that said....the players are terrible.....easiest site on the internet. You can search any forum (RGP, 2+2) and they will same the exact same thing. Its a tradeoff im willing to take for all the little fish swimming around on there.

Shrug - I can beat the game on stars playing 3 tables at once just fine - and you really don't play the same poker on pacific that you do elsewhere..it was starting to mess up my game LOL.

I hate pacific poker
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change

And when I need to free my mind
I can find, satisfaction in a bag of weed
Everything I need, leave it to the trees
It can make me feel better, and every day I wake
Niggas rollin' up blunts, and mo blunts, and mo blunts
And I keep a case of Swisher Sweets in the trunk
So when I'm rollin', smokin', chokin', just floatin

I've played almost exclusively at Pacific since I began playing in December, but the disconnections over the past two weeks have led me to pull most of my $ and go elsewhere.

Pacific Poker is awful. The only thing I like about it is very soft competition.
