Pacific Poker is the online poker room of the world famous 888.com brand. It offers an US$80,0000 Guaranteed tournament every Sunday and a host of satellites to larger events, including the World Poker Crown tournament that puts US$3 million up for grabs.
On top of all this, there are scores of other multi-table tournaments, including a daily US$20,000 Guaranteed game.
Of course, if you want to play in a cash game or single table tourney then you can do so. Whether you prefer Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Stud or 7 Stud Hi/Lo, there are tables to suit. Play for free to get used to the site or jump into a real game with stakes ranging from 5c/10c right up to $75/$150.
You will need to download and install the Pacific Poker software to play here. You can play for free by choosing a username and password, or register your full details to play for real. The latter option is probably worth going for, because once you have played for free the chances are high that you will want to get involved in the action for real.
The poker games are great to look at. By default, tables are circular and this makes for a very spacious feel even when there are ten players involved. However, if you enter the settings menu you change the table layout to your taste. Players can be represented by cartoon avatars if you want and you get your own choice of character. All of the graphics and animations are clear and smooth. Audio is equally impressive, and you have options for having a male or female dealer voice or even muting the dealer and/or sound effects.
A wide variety of promotions, the ability to immediately start playing with any bonus you receive and a very well presented Poker School round off what is an already impressive poker room. If you want to make a poker million or two, Pacific Poker should certainly be a site you visit on a regular basis.
