Pacific Poker??

Sure, suckouts are annoying, but you can't be serious in saying you don't like playing with bad players - They are the ones who pay you in the long run. If you only play with people who are better than you, you'll lose.

It's just math.

I think the deal with Pacific is that the software is just plain old and outdated...I mean look at how long its been around...

I tend to agree with TP, Pokerroom is a very nice site, nice interface, pretty good customer support.

Also, SnGs dont have the shitty 800 or 1000 starting chips, they start at 1500, which is a big plus.

well obviously i don't mind playing with crappier players (sometimes i say i hate it because i get so frustrated), but if i play with better players a lot my skills will increase..and that's really what i'm looking for.

i believe that there was a quote in "the biggest game in town" about eric drache, that essentially went:

"drache is generally thought of as the seventh best player in the world. his only problem is that he will only play with the six who are better than him."

game selection is key, and yes suckouts are annoying, but playing against the fish is spectacular.

I'm playing the java no download version of Pacific only cause I can't log onto any other of the sites through the university firewall that i'm behind.. very slow play and I've had some connection problems, but the tourneys that I've played so far don't seem that tough to beat.

TP, do you have a list on the site that ranks the sites/rooms by # of fish, or beatability?? If not where would you rate poker room compared to Pacific (or others)?
Keep up the good work. This forum blows RGP away.

Having played at both Pacific and Party, I tend to agree that the Pacific software is a bit antiquated. I don't particularly like the look of their deck and quite often it's difficult to tell the difference between clubs and spades right away.

I understand that there are different deck bitmaps you can replace the default one with, but that is still not ideal.

I've played at Pokerstars too and would have to say that Party's interface is the easiest on my eyes.
