The fishiest game ever?

I wonder if 2/4 on Pacific isn't the fishiest game ever. I played for a while yesterday, and while the cards never really ran my way (a few too many river beats), the players were terrible. VPIP was running at over 70 for a while, and most of the players were passive too (80/2, 70/8, that sort of thing). I was well down for a while until I took down a monster pot with AA (capped PF with 3 players and plenty of action right to the river). I ended up only about 12BB up, but I think that was an unlucky session overall.

iPoker is still running pretty cold for me. I don't think I will stick around after I finish the book bonus.

jeez mate you're really selling pacific as the place to be .. even with the horrific rake. might have to have a look sooner or later.

I dont mind ipoker but table selection is key. Have had a horrific run or 2 there but also some quite good runs.

Maybe my biggest bonehead move is to tell everybody about it and attract the sharks :)

Still, it would be interesting to share a table with you sometime even if it is -EV.

After 3 years of iPoker, hopefully I have been training at altitude. May need to try Pacific as my WillHill honeymoon period ended abruptly.

have u got some sort of rakeback/kickback deal on pacific?

The blindman said...

I don't, but I thoroughly recommend signing up via Pokerlistings. You get a much better instant bonus (50% up to $175 instead of 25% up to $100), plus you get tickets to some great freerolls (WSOP etc).

LuckyAce is also on the 888 network, and you can get pretty decent kickbacks there too. I signed up via Idleminer so I can use the OnGame and Pacific handgrabbers with HEM. There is also a 12months Stoxpoker deal which looks pretty excellent value.

when i do sign up, i'll probably go one skin with rakeback or equivalent, and then do the kickbacks on the others

I don't think Pacific do rakeback..

where there's a will there's a way ;)

my goal is to have rakeback on any network that i'd consider for long term play.

Hmm, you know something I don't??
