Pacific Poker was one of the original online poker sites and still offers tons of action in the non-US market. Part of the 888 Gaming network, Pacific Poker offers easier competition than you'll find at other major poker sites and thus makes it a profitable place to play. Despite their poor rake structure you can offset that by taking advantage of their VIP Program and frequent bonuses.
Pacific Poker is the first major poker site to offer video cam poker tables where you can view your opponents face to face, something that could become the next big trend in online poker.
