PKR is a new player in the online poker market - running on privately developed software and not a part of any poker network - that brings with it an entirely new breed of 3D poker software like nothing currently available.
Never mind that it’s a little slow, has a few bugs, and is monstrously resource intensive - it is just that good. Once you try it you will never want to play in another poker room again. For players wanting an “experience” - and who would rather play for the fun of the game than just to make money - there is no site that even comes close to PKR.
So that means PKR is attracting a lot of players who aren't particularly focused on poker skills and strategy. The net result: much softer competition at their tables. All graphics are displayed in real 3D and require a fairly new computer to work, but for those looking for the closest thing to playing in a real casino, there simply is no better software. The software offers unrivaled customization and very nice graphics.
PKR currently spreads Hold'em and Omaha in Limit, No-Limit and Pot-Limit form, as well as both multi- and single-table tournaments. The traffic volume is relatively low at the real-money tables, as well as in tournaments, but growing quickly. Real money player statistics as of June 2007 show 1,300 ring-game players during peak hours and 5,500 tournament players during peak hours.
Due to U.S. legislation preventing credit card companies from collecting payments for wagers made by U.S. residents, PKR has determined to suspend all real-money gaming business in the United States.
