The motto at 888 Pacific Poker should be “Turn someone’s personal destruction into your personal gain from the comfort of your home.” I wouldn’t call the game selection at 888 Pacific Poker staggering; however they certainly offer the main games that you want to see: • Texas Hold’em • Omaha • Omaha Hi/Lo • 7 Card Stud • 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo For those of you looking to supplement your income, we would highly recommend that you take a gander at the Omaha Hi-Lo tables.

For the Beginner The soft competition at 888 Pacific Poker is what really makes it a good place for the beginning player to get started. The competition is fairly soft through the different stake levels offering the beginner a good place to work on their game. In terms of their poker school and instruction, 888 Pacific Poker is fairly rudimentary. The 888 Pacific Poker Poker School consists of a series of small interactive Flash movies, a poker forum and an Articles page that supports a list of approximately 20 articles. The Flash movies cover a series of topics from how to use the software and navigate the Lobby page to basic instruction on how to play the games to poker psychology 101. All-in-all, the 888 Pacific Poker School is very basic but certainly adequate. 888 Pacific Poker has plenty of “play money” games running all of the time and of course there are the freerolls to keep the beginner busy. The zinger is, of course, the soft competition. I’m not saying that everyone sucks, this would be far from the truth; rather, the play is a lot wilder and for the most part less experienced.
