Why did it show everyone's hand??? Is this normal at Pacific? I don't play there but it seems unlikely...

[bunny]

How did you receive your hand history?

I believe sjay is referring to the error ( ScottyJ5 shows [ Jh Ad ].ScottyJ5 collected [$83].) It doesn't only occur at Pacific. I've come across it on other poker sites, aswell.

[bunny]

Sjay...are you playing at Pacific right now? I wouldn't mind the company. It's so boring in there with no one to talk to. I've been playing at $2/$4. Care to join me?

O....kay. I think I might have scared him off. lol

Anyone else play at Pacific?

[eejit101]

i believe he is ferring to the eroor that it shows everyones hand after the hand...


Whats the hell is that? Im never playing there... And most of them fodled preflop, so why is it showing theirs

[bunny]

You're right! Just realized J5 is part of his name. LMFAO
Robbie Robb was correctamoondoe.

Does anyone know how to check the hand history on Pacific?


Okay, I know I've said a few harsh words concerning Pacific Poker, I still am not 'in love' with it; but...I think I've learned something because of it.

I usually multi-table at 25c/50c or $.50/$1; but at Pacific you are only allowed to play at one table at a time. So instead of playing 3 tables of lower limits, I decided (after having read TP's post of his clearing his rake in 1 hour at $2/$4)... to play 1 - $2/$4 table. Within the hour, I had doubled my bankroll (not telling how much I started with ) Suffice it to say, I'm a happy little camper today.

If only I had figured this out 2 days ago, I wouldn't have spent all my time tabling those low limit tables in order to clear my bonus. I made more money at the 2/4 tables than I did at the lower ones plus cleared my bonus much quicker.

Eejit: It's not all that bad. Go download it. TalkingPoker's offer is berry berry good.

Damn right it is. My offers are always very good.

Congrats on your double up, but remember - short term variance. You could have just as easily gone broke in that time.

And I believe it took me almost 2 hours to clear my ($100) bonus playing 5/10... so you had your facts a little goofed up, but the point it, it was still pretty fast. That's $50 per hour of bonus money alone.

As for it showing all the hands, that's messed up. Are ALL HH's that way, or was this some fluke error? I'd contact their support for sure.

[sjay2k]

It seems to just be for hands where someone is allin. These HHs aren't provided by Pacific, but obtained through Handgrabber (a plugin for PT). But it's a pretty significant flaw that Pacific is broadcasting everyone's hands, even those who fold pre-flop. Hopefully it's not indicative of a more widespread security flaw re hole cards.

[Talking Poker]

That seems like a pretty massive flaw to me.
