Limits and Rake

The limits at 888Poker are unified across each of the games offered; making it easier for players to find the playing level that best suits them. Limits start at $0.05/$0.10 and increase in steady amounts through to $75/$150. There are 12 limit levels all told, so there will be a game and a level to suit all caliber of players. A lot of experts consider the low limit games at 888 Poker to be terrific value as players tend to be loose and the rake is generous. For $0.05/$0.10 games the maximum rake is 6 cents. For the $25/$50 cent game the rake is capped at $0.30 cents. Both of these limits provide excellent value for new poker players. For the $0.5/$1 and $1/$2 games the rake is capped at $1.25, which is also better than most sites. For games above $1/$2 the rake is a standard 5 per cent capped at $3.

888 Makes it Easy to Keep track of your Bonus Progress

888 Poker Playability

Very juicy indeed. 888 Poker brings in a high number of gamblers from its casino operation, so expect plenty of loose action. Navigation around 888 Poker is easy and the tables have a good look and feel to them. But I consider professional poker players, that make a living out of the game, as investors, I count systematic losers who play for enjoyment as gamblers and 888 Poker has many of these. 888 Poker also has a Quick Play, or 888 Poker direct java version of the game, which means players can log on anywhere, without the need to download the software.

Software and Extra Features

The lobby at 888 Pacific Poker is well designed, with each game type tabbed for easy viewing. Search filters are equally easy to apply allowing players to efficiently narrow down the available rooms and find the room that they're after. As for the rooms themselves, players are greeted with a very large, uncluttered poker table, with large and vibrant cards that are easy to recognize. Player avatar selection options have recently been increased, adding to the personalization options available. Players can resize the gaming window and the buttons are easy enough to navigate. 888 Poker runs smoothly, the only hold up is usually players who are thinking about their bet. Although, thankfully, a 30 second timer keeps things running at an even pace. For those after an even faster experience, turbo tables are also on offer.
