I dont want to show any regional bias here, because after all we are bound together as Americans. And even if you are not American, chances are you are still a human being. If not, you should really get off the computer right now and either dig up a bone, dive back into the aquarium or relieve yourself on some newspaper while incessantly parroting whatever your owners favorite obscene expression might happen to be.

For all of you humans who are still reading this, I reiterate my desire to avoid any bruised feelings by an excessive show of provincial pride. But having said all that, I must confess that, in my humble opinion, theres no part of this great nation that compares to the Pacific Coast. All you Floridians and Kentuckians and Nebraskans and Marylanders should just relax, because Im not denigrating your state in the slightest. All Im saying is that the Pacific rocks, and if you need any proof of this just check out Pacific Poker some time.

Its a generally well-known fact among gaming industry professionals that Pacific Poker is one of the favorite poker room for many Texas Hold'em players looking for high-action tables where the betting is fast and furious. As members of the consortium behind the world's largest casino, the people who run this site really know all the angles. From a massive selection of games to high-tech security to promotions out the wazoo, youll find every imaginable enticement to do a little gambling here. Oh, and the bonus opportunities arent too shabby, either.

Youll probably want to joint this site via PokerListings.com, because that way you will get a special signup bonus offer of a 25 percent deposit match, up to $100 (you get the full $100 bonus via $400 deposit or more.) Just bear in mind that you will have to wager 20 times the bonus amount, totaling $2,000 to cash-out the max bonus of $100. On the bright side, you will encounter no requirements on raked hands.

When it comes to loyalty bonuses, they add up quite quickly. Every $10 bet on raked hands earns you one Bonus Point, 100 Bonus Points can be converted to $1, and your comp points accumulate automatically. Each and every bet you place on raked hands adds more points to your Comp Account, which you can convert into cash and add to your Poker Bankroll anytime. Thats a very strong loyalty package from the good folks at Pacific Poker. Told you it was better out here.
