I heard that Pacific Poker now has a 30/60 game, and I'm thinking of taking a shot at it.

If anyone who plays in it would be so kind as to say a few words about the players and the software, I'd really appreciate it.

And BTW, if the games are really good, and you're trying to keep them that way, don't worry cause i suck. Just send me a PM telling me how good they are, and it will remain a secret.

are you just saying that ????!

i would play there more because of the players, except that you can only one-table, and the software really sucks

by the way, DO NOT try a tournament there - I played a $100 tourney there and got 7th for a few grand, but there was an exploit in the program where if you run out the clock, sometimes you could continue the hand for free (for example, you let the clock run out preflop and it doesn't take your cards away, but you can still bet after the flop without betting before the flop ... very strange) -- However, I have never noticed this or any other exploit in the limit games

I tried the site because I got a bonus from pokersourceonline.com to set up an acct and play a certain amount of hands, but I ended up making about 10 grand in 1-2 months playing 15/30 and 30/60

Good Luck /images/graemlins/smile.gif

it's a freaking 30/60 game. Is it as hard as pstars? No. Or party? Not usually. But it's still a tough game. Plus the software is sooooooooooooo slow and annoying.

Yeah, I heard rumors of alot of collusion there too. The no poker tracker support blows about pacific too.

I took all my money out of Pacific after playing in the game for a little over a month.

The very bad software alone is reason enough not to play there. They also have a history of being very slow with cashouts.

Let's not be too harsh. There were about three months last year when the Pacific 15/30 was the best game in the history of poker.

The Pacific 15/30 is still good. My bankroll can stand a few orbits at Pacific 15/30 and I see enough "3/6 LAG" behaviour.

Although there are sharks too.

If anybody wants to share their Pacific name with me I'd share back. There are a lot of shorthanded games and I'd rather us 2+2ers end up in different games and split up the fish nice and evenly.

I've read a few comments about being able to take notes now, but I haven't seen any evidence of this on the site. Can you in fact take notes - and how!?

Right click on their name and hit notes or whatever. Just make sure you're NOT typing in them when it's your turn to act because 'r' is raise, 'b' is bet, 'f' is fold and 'c' is check.

I've raised or 3bet pre-flop with trash now 4 times. Never won any of those hands. Gah. Be very careful.

Pacific is where I always play. The 15 30 games there are still incredible. Probably a little bit better than Party Poker's 15 30. The fact that you can only play one window at a time is the reason why I think many very good players don't play on this site.

The 30 60 games are not as good but still very profitable. What happens is that there will be some massive fish who goes on a huge rush in the 15 30 game and then goes straight to the 30 60 game and loses everything.
