Pacific Poker $10,000 guaranteed tournaments

Today I noticed that Pacific Poker is running these things five times a day. The buyin is $15+1.50, and they seem to typically have a small overlay. Also they have a great blind structure with a starting stack of 1200 and blinds increasing every 15 minutes. Best of all, the players are ludicrously bad. I mean, the 180-man SNG's are shark tanks by comparison. The guys on Pacific are even more loose passive at the beginning and even more weak-tight at the end. Once it got late, you don't see much other than minimum bets and raises. I just played one and finished 26th out of 629 (paid $65) despite not really getting any cards (except for one JJ that tripled me up against A8 and Q9s), just by playing well with a short stack.

The only drawback is that you can't multitable, but I'm definitely going to be adding one of these into my nightly tournament rotation.

I've played on Pacific before. Very bad players. But, I didn't like how fast the cards were turned when all in. But I guess that's a minor thing when playing bad players. I found that you could just camp and wait for the goods.
