Top online poker sites
# 1 888 Poker
This was formerly called Pacific Poker and it is a classic site which is known for its Texas Hold Em Tables. With this site you will get great soft games and there is people playing, a lot of them, 24 hours of the day.

You can trust that this company is professional because it is ran by one of the largest gambling companies in the world, the AKA the Casino-on-Net Group. Since it is a major company a lot of players in various shape, form and skill is attracted here so it makes up for a nice and loose environment of poker games.

One thing about 888 is that it doesn't accept US players yet.
