PKR is by far the best 3D poker room, with animations and a charm that underlines just how far they have taken online poker. The downsides of a flashy 3D poker room like PKR, is that everything takes a bit longer, and that traffic could be better, but it\'s dramatically moving in the right direction though! PKR is very recommendable for all No Limit Holdem players who value good entertainment. The games are generally very loose, for cash games as well as the tournaments which are looking more and more exciting.
Fish
With not much action at the higher stakes, play is relatively loose at all tables and is likely to stay that way as the stakes get higher and higher. The madly detailed software makes PKR a place that might scare away all the sharks who vow to simplicity, multitabling, rake etc, while attracting loads of fish who join PKR to one purpose - to have fun!
Traffic
Players during peak hours:
Cash-games: up to 1.100
Tournaments: up to 5.000
Since PKR is a fairly new, it still has very low real-money traffic for other games than NLHE. Interest is huge though for this revolutionary poker room, with new players signing up constantly. It won´t be long before tables like $5/10, and big tournaments run regularly at PKR.
Software
PKR has everything you would expect from a modern 3D pokerroom, with nice, costumized features, and funny inputs like the ability to haun other players, cry, make a winners dance etc. You can even play with your chips, smile, look surprised and tons of other features. You can choose between many different locations, as well as another central part of PKR - your own character! You can dress your person in many different ways, choose hairstyle, glases, size - even the small facial expressions can be played with untill you come up with a character that looks very much like yourself - if that´s what you want to. The flipside of the unique PKR-details however, is that it demands a good computer and internet connection, and still the gameplay is remarkablely slower than normal pokerrooms. Especially if your opponents like to dance, talk and cry a lot! Multitabling is possible, but demands a strong CPU!
Tournaments
PKR offers more and more tournaments every day, with buy-ins from $1 up to $250. PKR also hosts some guaranteed tournaments like the monthly $10,000 guaranteed poker tournament and some smaller ones that run daily. PKR offer satelites to live events like the WSOP main event as well! One of the things that has attracted many players to PKR is their belief in freerolls. By playing a bit for real money, you´ll gain acces to many exciting free roll. From the freerolls to the biggest tournaments at PKR, players are very loose, and clearly have amusement as a higher priority than profit.
Support
PKR knows about the importance of good customer service - especially when you´re a brand new poker room, with ambitions to reach the top of the industry. A very proffesional UK-based support is available through Live Chat and email. Under Help you´ll find a very easy form to fill out, or you can mail them at: support@pkr.com. For technical issues mail: tech@pkr.com.
Bonus
PKR will match your first deposit with up to $800 in bonus. For every $1 spend on tournament fees, you earn 100 PKR Point. The way PKR Points are earned at the cash tables is more complex. They are calculated against the amount that you’ve put into the pot divided between the other players at the table. Read more under Promotions at www.pkr.com.
