Pacific Poker has recently updated its proprietary software and is now one of the best all round online poker rooms. It has added many of the features that regular players on the site have been asking for, multi-table play with cascading and tilled windows, avatars, efficient interactive lobby, new add-on and re-buy features, change your time zone, in game note taking, game history with graphic playback feature and the ability to change your table's design.


Couple this with Pacific Poker's legendary soft competition, juicy high-action tables and frequent promotions, and you have a room that other poker rooms will find hard to better.


Pacific Poker is operated by Cassava Enterprises (Gibraltar) Limited the company that also operates 888.com. The 888 Group is listed on the London Stock Exchange, 888 HOLDINGS (888.L), also owns one of the biggest online casino brands, Casino-on-Net.


The soft competition tag comes from the fact that Pacific Poker attracts many players from its online casino, Casino-On-Net, looking for gaming action and the fact that Pacific Poker promotes itself very heavily globally attracting plenty of 'newbie' players.
