PKR

It is important to note that due to the October 2006 legislation in the United States PKR currently does NOT accept US customers to play in any real money games. If you are in the US you can still create an account, but will only be allowed to use play money chips.

Do you like Video Games? Do you like Poker? Well great, PKR has exactly what you want. I was excited when I heard about the idea of PKR Poker because it was like no other. In every other online poker room today you play at a flat 2d table with no animation. Although that may be necessary for people who love playing 12 or more tables, the idea of PKR is very intriguing. PKR attempts to enhance your online experience by taking it to a new level, a completely controllable 3d environment.

It seems that this idea has also caught the eye of some other people as well. Since opening in 2006, their player base has grown from a few hundred to over ten thousand. During peak hours you can find close to 11,000 people at one time. However, I noticed that out of the average of 6000 connected there were 2000 or more on the play money tables.

Currently PKR only offers two games, limit, pot-limit, and no-limit Hold'em, and limit, pot-limit Omaha. PKR plan on expanding their games to include others in the future. During my stay at PKR I noticed only a few Omaha tables ever running. The majority of the real money players are playing low/mid-stake no-limit Hold'em. If you are playing mid stakes such as $100nl, then you should have no problem finding a table to play.
