How in the world does Pacific Poker still have members?

They easily have the worst software of any poker site, i redownloaded it yesterday and their software was still as buggy, slow, and unable to multitable as it was when i first used it like 3 years ago. They have no security, their cashouts take 5 days while i sometimes get my party cashout in a matter of minutes. sure, the players are bad, but crypto, prima and party players are just as bad and you dont have to use a horrible site to play them. why do people still play there?

i'm sure that's why the players are so bad. the only ones who play there are the fish who don't know any better.

Bingo! No sharks means the fish just trade money back and forth less rake so my guess is they survive far longer than they would at any other site.

They spend a lot on advertising, just wonder around the London Underground.

The bad software is a mixed blessing. The inability to multi table tends to put off people who want to multi table. Compare the softness of Boss, Playtech or Pacific with any other random site.

Right now on Pacific there's a $200NL table with 70% seeing each flop. This is normal. I'm just building up some money I deposited a long time ago so that I can cashout and get a full deposit bonus somewhere, but sometimes I think about never leaving.

For the tons of "no sharks" posts I read here, I sure see a lot of 2+2ers at the 15/30 and 30/60 tables there... and since there's only like 3-4 tables of each in the busy times you bastids are impossible to get away from. That being said, I would suppose there's less pros at the mid and lower limits.

The players primarily come for www.888.com (which is a HUGE internet casino, huge advertising budget too) who feel like playing poker for a change.

I was amazed to see a full page advert for them in a the weekend magazine of a big national newspaper here(in the UK). It was talking about the fast software and I just felt sorry for people coming to the game through Pacific.

Maybe they'll get a retro thrill out of it. "Hey this reminds of my Spectrum when I was young. Wow, some of those games had,like , 8 colours......."

I wouldn't even whore that site.
