Yeah Doosh and I have had some sick battles. He's one of the best players on that site.

It's sad but Pacific went from by far the juiciest site to one of the worst. A combination of adding big stakes and multi-tabling at the same time killed the fish pond.

the lower games are still juicy. 5/10 > 15/30. Why do they keep half a mil on the site? I would guess 100k would be enough for that game.

It's because you can only withdraw 10k per month from the site. To withdraw up to 20k you have to go through contortions with Pacific support.

Actually, they raised their withdrawal limits to 30,000 / month. It's 10K, but then if you send them a copy of your passport, blood & semen samples and notarized promises to fellate them every other Tuesday, you can get up to 30K. But you're absolutely right: it's retarded, and i've been through the issue about a dozen times with them via email that it's disingenuous to offer high-stakes games, and not allow people to manage a sufficient bankroll for them. Those guys w/ 400K on the site will not be able to withdraw their entire bankrolls for nearly 12 months.

They claim it has something to do w/ anti-money laundering provisions. I pointed out repeatedly that they're the only site on the net with ANYthing like that. I browbeat them on this issue until they finally wrote me an email (polite, but firm) telling me that they weren't changing it, and I should drop the issue as they will not respond to further email inquiries on the subject.
