Should Pacific 2/4 to5/10 hands be posted in the micro limit section?

[lefty rosen]

With play similar to Party .5/1 or other sites lowest limit the strategies employed at 2/4 to 5/10 dont really work at against the oblivious Pacific chaser......

[SomethingClever]

Is it really that soft? Anyone else care to back up that claim?

Is Pacific the one where you can only single-table?

[sthief09]

yes and yes. playing Pacific is just like playing live. one very slow, very soft table at a time.

[TheHip41]

thief, what limits do you play at pacific?

[sthief09]

I played 5/10 for about 3 weeks over the summer.

I will echo others statement...SOFT SOFT; like the very worst drunken Taj Mahal 2-4 game,calling 3 bets for one outers...and SLOOOOWWWW , when 8 people see a flop and they all take 15 seconds; we are talking some serious lag time. Im losing my mind trying to clear a bonus there. This is NOT a negative review. I just open up Poker Stars and play a SNG while I wait for my cards.

[TheHip41]

Gotcha. I was wondering if you were on the tables with me, but then I figured I would probably notice you on Pacific. You would stick out like a sore thumb, actually raising preflop.

I like playing one table on pacific while I multi other places. The 2-4 and 3-6 there are just crazy easy.

I concur. Anyone beating 2/4 party is beating 5/10 pacific. Its just a shame the lower stake game is more profitable due to the nubmer of hands/tables played. However, that's the whole reason its so soft over there I assume. Speed up the game and allow multitabling and it wont be so soft.

[sthief09]

you don't even have to clear the bonus. it's yours to keep

[IndieMatty]

Thanks, but I want to cash it out. Though I guess playing with the house would be better...(You can only cash out initial deposit)

[lefty rosen]

Play 2/4 short there you can clear the bonus in about 8 hours. The games themselves are about as tough as Party .5/1 at 2/4 or less and Party 1/2, 2/4 at 5/10. They are just so slow because 8 see the flop at night at the 2/4 limit. You need the near nut to bet on the turn or river...

[sthief09]

what I'm saying is you don't even have to clear the bonus. I didn't clear it and cashed out my full $100 bonus.

lefty said exactly what I was going to in fewer words. Be prepared for party poker .50/1 - like bad beats on a regular basis. If your brain can handle that at the 3/6 or 5/10 level without exploding into perma-tilt it can be a sweet place to spend time. The slowness I handle by 2 or 3 tables of party or empire running at the same time. Watch out for the occasional solid player fishing in the same pond though. They are not hard to spot after a few orbits. For the rest of the crowd treat them like loose passive micro-limit players and you can't go too far wrong. No fancy moves!!! You will only impress yourself.

According to the zoo, and what I read on the site, they changed that.

I believe you have to cash out now. But why would you ever want to leave?

[LoveNh8]

Hmmmm, I have played maybe 10k at Pacific 1/2 and 2/4,
and I'm not sure it's *that* much looser than Party....

however, this may be a bad comparison for you if you aren't as religious about hunting up good loose party tables.

also, i tend to play afternoons EST, that may have something to do with it.

All in all, given pokertracker support, I prefer the 2/4 at Party > Pacific,
though the 1/2 and 3/6 are better at Pac.
