PKR Online Poker Review

PKR.com do not accept U.S players

PKR.com offer the most original online poker software. You are able to create a character (avatar)in your own image, and if that is too grotesque you can create a fantasy one. You are also able to control the actions and posture of your alter ego as well as look at the situation from various angles. Some critics say this slows the game down, which is true. But that's not all bad, you are able interact more than you are able to on other sites and is by far the most realistic site out there at the moment, as in real life tournaments poker is not so fast. Having said that, it plays well, and looks wise it is one of the best ones. Not as much player traffic as on other and more established poker sites which is not a good thing but this is due to it being a relatively new site. (Since writing the above PKR now have almost 15000 players online at anyone time and also are about to hit the 1.5million player sign-up's mark) 30/01/2008

A new feature to the PKR site is the introduction of the tournament ranking and leaderboard system which ranks all PKR.com real-money sit-n-go and multi table tournaments players in the same way that tennis and snooker players are ranked. Which means that recent performances will rate higher than past scores. Cool prizes and offerings will also go to players who top the leaderboard each month.

It's not to everyones taste but a site worthy of a visit.

Personally i really like it, it can only get better. I'm sure the traffic will increase as the time goes by and th range of tournaments are increasing monthly.

Earning PKR Points on real money tables:PKR points are awarded on raked hands played on real money tables. They are calculated against the amount that you've put into the pot divided between the other players at the table. That means the bigger the pot, the more PKR points everyone gets. Your points are also based on the amount that you put into the pot - so the more you contribute yourself, the more PKR Points you'll earn in the hand.The maximum number or PKR points that can be earned in any hand is capped at 300, in the same way as maximum rake. Earning PKR Points in tournaments: You get 100 PKR points for every $1 you spend in entry fees. This applies to your entry fee only and not to re-buys.

PKR Rake:PKR is an online poker room, not a casino. Unlike a casino in which players bet against the house, at PKR you'll only ever be playing against other real players who've logged into the poker room. In line with every other real world or online poker room, PKR receives compensation by taking a rake - that is a small amount of money from each pot. PKR operate a no flop, no drop policy - if a hand does not reach the flop, no rake is taken. This applies for all games at all limits. Check the site PKR.com for terms and conditions
