Pacific probably has the best games for one reason, the terrible software. Many online pros (myself included) will not play there. You only get 40-50 hands per hour and can only play one table. On top of that the rake is terrible. I even have heard they rake uncalled bets now.
You sure know a lot about this stuff. You must be a poker.....addict!
So I have heard about the great action at Pacific but have not joined. I don't think you can watch the games unless you sign up. So let me ask you a couple questions. You mention 40-50 hands an hour. Is that ring? Do they have shorthanded? I play shorthanded almost exclusively. If they have shorthanded, how many hands does that get, Poker Addict?
And are you saying, that, say a pot is at $38 and a bet is made which prompts everyone else to fold, does that final bet count to put it over $40 and thus drop another dollar? If so, that kinda sucks.
One more question, do they have bigger games, $5-10 and up?
And one more question.
They apparently count your "total wagering" instead of raked pots involved in. So if I take the big and small blinds in a 5-10 game, and muck my hands to a raise, does that count for $7 of wagering? Is that how they do it?
Sounds like they need to catch up with the rest of the industry. But it is interesting that, as you said, the irritation to pros keeps them away and leaves an abundance of fish.
Very good coverage of poker issues by you, Poker Addict. I thank you and I'm sure I speak for others that we appreciate your knowledge and experience.
