Once we logged in we were presented with a logically laid out and well designed poker lobby. The lobby displays the statistics for each game listed. At the top of the page there is a pair of tabs allowing the player to select ‘real’ or ‘play’ money. The lobby consists of a set of tabs and filters used to select the variant of poker game, underneath this is a text box displaying a scrollable list of the available games of the chosen type. By selecting a game in the list a brief description is displayed in a box on the right. To join a selected game you can either double click the entry in the list or use the button on the lower right. Overall the lobby was easy to understand and navigate.
The game table consists of a large round playing table using large easy to read cards and has stunning graphics with bright clear colours. On the right there is a chat box with a statistics display and game information. Each player has a customisable 3D avatar with really good 3D graphics. A good feature is the ability to make notes on, and label your opponents for future reference.
Pacific poker attracts a lot of its traffic from TV advertising and from its casino. There are a lot of loose and inexperienced players at the Texas Holdem tables, making it the perfect place to play online poker. The site has a vast reputation for being the best poker room for finding fish or beginners. If you choose your table wisely and play reasonably well, then you’ll see a profit in no time. We found the site easy to use, with friendly players and a good atmosphere
