Pacific Poker is obviously set on ascending to the top echelon of the online poker industry. They have whipped their software into shape, they offer bonuses on friend referrals, their sign-up bonus is pretty generous and their excessive rake policy has also been tempered.
Their promotions system is starting to look like one belonging to a true top online poker room too. The $80,000 weekly guaranteed looks a lot like the weekly specials run by most big poker rooms, offering players some excellent value and creating a reference-point for all those intent on joining Pacific Poker.
There is a special guaranteed tournament running every day. Weekdays tournaments feature prize-pools of $20,000, with $35+$3 or $50+$5 buy-ins building up the momentum for Sunday’s big $80,000 guaranteed to which the buy-in is $120+$12. All these tournaments come with starting stacks of 2,500, and a 15-minute blinds-increase interval.While the daily guarantees are reasonably accessible for all player categories (coughing up $35+$3 shouldn’t be a deadly blow to any reasonable poker bankroll), the weekly 80K may seem a bit far-fetched buy-ins-wise for the people getting along on a few hundred dollar bankrolls. Therefore, access is made available not only through direct buy-ins but through a host of qualifiers as well. Some of these qualifiers are regular low cost ones, others are freerolls which make it possible for people to earn a seat in the $80K completely free. Besides the above mentioned guaranteed tourneys there is a host of other guaranteed events running all through the day.
