I decided to give this place a try this week and even though I am doing decent thus far, I can promise you that as soon as my deposit bonus requirements are met I will be gone. It is the worst software I have ever seen. After playing at most of the "big" sites, I have no problem saying that it is by far the worst. I can only guess that the people that play there have never tried another site.

Has anyone else ever played there?

I didn't stay long enough to get my deposit bonus. The software is slow, ugly, and did I mention SLOW! It was the limit of one table that got to me. Many of the players are weak, though. I won't go back unless they buy somebody else's software.

I've played there. The software is proprietary to the Casino-on-Net online casino. There is at least one sportsbook using this site. I discovered this when I tried to join through the book and discovered I was banned at the poker room as well as the casino. No great loss, as you say the software is poor...however the players are even worse.

atrocious software but equally atrocious players. you can make money there but the software may drive you nuts before you do. And then you may have to wait a week before you get paid out.

I would only play there again if they offered up a decent bonus.

I don't have a problem with their software. IN fact, it could be the worst software on the market and would still play there, that is how bad the players are on that site.

CS is fantastic as well.

I may be a little jaded also as I took my alltime worst beat in my life there, but the software was just too frustrating for me to endure.

what are the complaints about the software? Like I said, I don't really mind it

A little different if you are used to some other places, but I have never had any issues

just curious...

some complaints about pacific software that i noticed in my short time there:
1- can't multitable
2- can't go to cashier or do anything at the lobby while you are at a table
3- software freezes and disconnect problems galore.


these were the 3 that irked me outside of the cashout taking the longest of any pokerroom i have used to date.

I've played there in the past and I didn't see any problems. I had one problem with them when they gave me a freebie to play with for their site. For some reason after I played there once, it wouldn't let me enter a game. It wasn't until I purchased a new PC and installed XP Pro that it would let me get into the game. My money was still there waiting for me even after I hadn't played for a few months. Unless things have really slowed down since I last played there, the software seemed fine to me.

On another note regarding Pacific, a person at another site was saying he got screwed bigtime out of some money.

Outside of the beat that I took in a $1600 pot after flopping a full boat only to lose to runner runner quad dueces, I found it just to be too slow all the way around from the pace of play to the week wait for a payout. Not being able to multi-table also did not suit my style either.

Rob- I am trying to get back into the real world now so I am not playing very often, but I have been playing at UB exclusivly for the last 2 months or so. I am playing the h2h $20-$50 tourneys and finding it very profitable. Had a guy go off on me the other day at a $30 buy in and he rematched me 9 times before finally winning one. Then I won anther 4 before he quit. If you try it, my biggest suggestion is to never rematch more than once if you are losing even if you like the game, just take notes and watch out for him next time you are on.

multitabling is a problem, for sure

I rarely multitable at a site though, if I want to play more than 1 game I will usually sign into another poker room

but agree that is 1 issue


I think disconnect used to be a problem, but haven't been noticing it lately, never had the software freeze either


thanks for the answers though guys

Agreed here.

The software stinks and the one table limit is ridiculous. There are at least 35 other rooms I would play before Pacific.
