Software -
good
The software has really improved and these days runs at a good speed even during peak periods. There is also an easy
to use notes facility and online hand history. Search function and layout are often updated with nice looking 3D-avatars. The feel
is somehow very old school/new school but i don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
Playability -
very good
The table layout is excellent and easy to view, it has a nicely designed lobby that has information on view flop percentage and hands
played per hour. The lobby does appear cluttered at first but with the wealth of what's on offer here, that's hardly surprising. Spend
a little, get aquainted with all that is available and things will become clear soon enough.
Traffic -
very good
Compared to the pre-US ban era, traffic is relatively for both ring games and tournaments. This mostly shows
it's effect off-peak hours and for the higher limit games. However, this doesn't mean you'll have trouble finding a game and Pacific
Poker has been showing signs of recovery towards it former glory in recent months.
Support -
good
Usually good response times but information not always precise. Most major deposit and withdrawal options are support although cash
out speed can be a little slow.
Summary -
very good
