Pacific PokerPacific Poker is the poker room for 888.com casino and is still a favourite, especially amongst new players. They recently updated their software with a sleek and smooth new look which is much better to play.

I would have to say Titan lately for me anyways. Lagging more like it. Right in the middle of a call and the message won't go through really Bites!
Now in the past I would have to say Pacific hands down!

I've had problems with some Prima Poker sites... and when there is a connection problem at your end it can take some time after the connection is restored before the cards fully update, meaning you miss more.

I tried Pacific and got so frustrated I removed it from my computer. I was never sure if it was my computer or the software since I did not know anyone at the time who played there. That was about 6 months ago so it may have changed since.

For me it has to be sites that come under the i-sites package i think it is, such as Titan, Noble and (rarely thesedays) CDPoker.

Often when moving tables you find you have already lost out on a hand as you were timed out, before you even got to see where you are seated!

I have many problems with Absolute. I would say 4 out of every 6 tournys I lose connection. Once it cost me alot but most I get back on no problem.

re: Poker Sites With The Most Connection Problems

Gotta agree Titan4ever, Paradise (888) is very unstable. Keeps freezing, usually just before the end of a touney when I have middle chips. By the time I've shut the site down and restarted it my chips have almost disappeared lol.

Oh yeah. Definitely. This is the only site where I actually withdrew my funds, never to return because of the horrific connection problems. Cost me more than one game, and then I found out how crappy their support is. The funny thing is, I only started having really bad connection problems after I finally deposited my own funds there (rather than just playing w/ the freeroll winnings). Things that make you go...Hmmmmmmm.....

Unfortunately, it's still on my comp. because my hubs loves to play there (but he's never deposited, so he's never really had any problems on his account--go figure).

The question was about connection problems but there's a lot more to it than just that. Most sites have fairly reliable network connections. Sometimes the client software doesn't handle reconnection very well. Often times, the user doesn't have the best connection.

In my experience, the issues with most sites aren't so much network connection as crappy software. My definition of "crappy" usually deals with poor user interfaces. Many of the lesser sites use terrible contrasting colors. Important buttons such as Hand History are missing. Cards don't show when all-ins are called. The list goes on. These are usually the factors that make me stop playing on a certain site.

Timed out last night at in a tourney at Stars with AKs in the SB, at a stage that was fairly criticial, i needed chips . But got AKs again the very following hand to make up for it.

Anyway my contract with my current broadband provider is almost up, so hopefully i can hit the bigger buy-in tourneys as soon as that happens.

I've experienced problems with pacific and the prima network, and why is it the disconnections always seem to happen when you have a great hand rather seven deuce off?
