Pacific Poker is part of the 888 Holdings group, the company behind the world's largest online casino, Casino-on-Net. As you can imagine, this means a lot of wild casino customers at the poker tables. Combined with lots of promotions, that also means a lot of Texas Hold'em players come to Pacific Poker for juicy high-action tables and good bonuses.

The No-Limit and Pot-Limit cash games are strongly recommended for players looking to make a profit. Viewed-flop percentages in full ring Limit Hold'em games are often in the high 50s and 60s - sometimes even up in the 70s - which is pretty ludicrous. No-Limit games are also among the juiciest and loosest online.

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. Another very nice function that stands out from other poker sites is the graphic replay of hands - a useful tool for reviewing your play.

Pacific Poker has also introduced a no-download client, allowing Mac and Linux users to enjoy the Pacific Poker experience. The new software is very sleek and competent and offers most of the functionality of the download version, although some 3D functionality and a few cosmetic features have been left out to keep the client light and quick. All variations of Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud and Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo are available. Real-money player statistics as of September 2009 show 2,000 ring-game players at peak hours and 8,000 tournament players at peak hours.
