i know that everybody hates this website...BUT
Popularity - Total players, game selection, tournaments, etc
decent amount of traffic. it is geated mostly towards NL games. there are usually about 7-10 games running for each limit up to 400NL and 15/30 limit i think. So not a lot of high stakes poker. SNGs fill up rather slowly compared to party or pokerstars and you are given 800 in chips in the lower level SNGs which is kinda of crappy.
Competition - Toughness of ring games and tournament games
this is why i love this site. Its a fricking pond or an animal farm full of donkeys. Sometimes I feel like people are just donating to me for the kindness of their heart after I win with Q high on the river in a 100NL game (YES its true). The bluff-call is very popular there. This is why:
1. only allows you to play one table at a time. This is good for us because people get frustrated, they want more action, become impatient and gamble more and call all the fricking time. The VFP is in the 80% for even the 200NL and 5/10 limit which is out of this world.
2. This site used to have horrible software It still sucks but not as much, thus, there were no pros playing here and there are almost none now. The fact that this site allows you to play only 1 table dimishines the chance of you having a pro on the table unlike in party, UB etc.
3. its connected to an online casino network so a lot of farm animals join and have no clue what they are doing. it is common to see the whole table limp in and than some1 raise to 3 than another person limp re raise to 8 or 10 and everybody will call.
Software - Quality of interface, multi-tabling, audio cues
not so great...no multi tabling, kind of gloomy, does have voice of the dealer, 4 color deck....
Security - Operator integrity, certification, gut feel
good customer support. responded to me within 5 hrs via email very good security and fast cash outs.
Promotions - Sign up bonuses, bad beat promos, deposit bonuses
whatever.....not sure..just regular promotions.
Support - Quality and speed of technical or game support
A-/A as i mentioned above. of course this is no Poker stars with chops etc. but very good nevertheless
Ethics - Trustworthiness of site, true customer oriented site
not sure what this means
=============
all in all, this is an online farm...overall ranking 7.5.
i apoligize for providing a rather incoherent review but besides the fact that this site has the softests competition online up to date, there is not much else you need to know.

Good RNG's but plays too fast

I like the clean look of their tables and their Random Number Generators are very good. But the speed at which you are forced to play in tournaments, no thanks. Just way too fast. 5-10 seconds per thought just isn't enough time. I'll play elsewhere until they slow it down.

its not the speed of making a decision....wtf did i just say
its not how much time you are given although that sucks and i folded a
number of good hands because of that. its their fricking INSANE horrible
blind stcture. OMG it sucks. i have sent very polite emails to Pacific trying
to explain them how much it sucks. i have bubbled their 10k/15k/20k MTTs
going out like 10th 12th, 14th or 8th and some other crap SOOOOOoo many times its just insane.
when the average stack is 20k and the blinds are 3k 6k and later when the avg stack is like 75 and the blindsa re 10k or something else crazy of that nature is a pure crapshoot
but the play is just horrible
