Introduction

PKR is the first site to take online poker to the next level. The site provides a huge improvement as far as the visual experience of playing online. You can create your own avatar, and shape your personality however you choose. Put simply, when you're at the table, the experience is different from any other online poker room out there.

The lure of PKR’s rich 3D graphics and innovative gameplay features that let players express themselves (and read tells) are luring both seasoned players and newcomers alike to this fresh take on online poker.

Where you might have struggled to find a $5/$10 cash game or grown bored waiting for a Sit and Go to fill up a few months ago, you now find cash games bristling with players and tournaments filling up fast. The growth is so dramatic that PKR are now claiming they’re the “fastest growing poker room in the world”.

Traffic/Players

When PKR launched in the fall of 2006 a lot of people thought the site would struggle to fill tables without joining an established network – but the next generation poker room stood firm and remained staunchly independent. It looks like that stand has already paid off.

With nearly 450,000 registered users and thousands of players online at any given time, PKR has established a solid player base in record time.

The competition at PKR is pretty weak. Since PKR's graphics appeal to new players and young ‘gamers’, you will find that the majority of the players are inexperienced and definitely in the ‘Fish’ category.

At the lower limits, you will see most tables have a flop viewed percentage of over 50%. That is very high for a full table so a player with a classic tight/aggressive image should do well.

Since the players at PKR are there to have fun, you will see a lot more gambling and interaction as opposed to tight play.

Game Variety

Texas holdem (limit/no limit), Omaha/Omaha hi/lo (limit/pot limit). Games run from the micro-levels at $0.01/$0.02 up to $1/$2. There is decent volume up to $2/$4 but if you want big cash games this isn’t the site for you.

Satellite tournaments have been introduced so tourney players now have even better prizes to play for.

Graphics/Software

The software at PKR is really what this site is all about. Forget all the amazing deposit bonuses, free rolls, and weak competition, this is what you're here for.

Character creation is one of the most entertaining aspects of PKR. Right when you log in, you have the option to choose "Me". This is where you go to customize your character.

You can select different aspects of your character (hair, face, pants, shirt, shoes, facial hair) and modify them with endless options. With the thousands of variables, you can create the perfect character.

A different option for creating your character is even more realistic. You send the PKR tech team two pictures of yourself, and they are able to scan your body to create a perfect replica of yourself on PKR.

New environments have been added (including a slick looking TV studio) to keep eyes popping and the sites new screen-in-screen multi-tabling format makes it a lot easier to play more than one game at a time.

But it doesn’t stop there. Away from the tables PKR have also added some highly innovative features that should appeal to their hip young user base.

My PKR, a social networking space that lets PKR players develop their own web pages has proven a big hit and there are plans to add even more community features on the site in the coming months.

Support/Banking

PKR has a very large support team for a site of their size. They offer support in two forms. The first is an extensive database of FAQ articles located on their site. The second is lightning fast email support for more in depth problems.

The customer support at PKR is definitely another one of their strong points.

You can deposit and withdraw cash though : Visa, Visa Electron, Visa Delta, Mastercard, Maestro, Switch, Solo and Diners. Online banking services you can use are Click2Pay, Neteller and FirePay.

The minimum deposit is $20.
