Downloaded this game about a week ago, i remember seeing it advertised in a poker magazine back in like january. Forgot about it until last week, downloaded it only to find out it wouldn't work on my computer, wasn't happy lol, watched my brother play it on his computer though, looks like a really good game.

It wont run on my computer. I've seen my friend playing it on his computer though. It looks prety cool, more like a ideo game. Egon brings up a good point though, It will probably bring in alot of new players.

Just tried PKR last night. Don't think I'll be giving up playing my other sites but it's great fun! Especially if you're a player who only plays one table at a time. Didn't seem to be much real-money action but I understand they only started real money a few days ago.

Think I'll stick to my old haunts for now. I'm always on the lookout for somewhere new to try (if it makes sense), but this just doesn't seem to be worth the hassle.
Thanks for the feedback all.

I was one of the Beta testers and I`ve therefore played PKR a lot.
The graphics are streets ahead of the other poker rooms I play, but it will chug unless you have a serious PC. As a rough rule of thumb, if you are using a gaming PC and you can smoothly run large modern games (Ci 4, AoE 3 etc.), you`ll be fine. If your PC hasn`t been upgraded this millenium, forget it.
I reckon PKR shows the way to go and we should support it. Most of us on the forum are hardened card players and don`t really give a damn about how a poker site looks, just so it plays smoothly. But remember, most of the world isn`t like us. The average Joe will be impressed by technical advances and pretty graphics, and it will bring new players into the hobby. That`s why it deserves support.
The American legal issue is a whole other argument and there are other threads on the forum about it, for example:

So, I'm being lazy and not checking myself, this is saying that US players can play freerolls but not make deposits an play in real money games? What are their freeroll winnings withdrawl rules? If there are restrictions, can I use freeroll winnings to play at the tables to meet the restrictions?
Haven't even been to the site and CC doesn't have a link for it. Is it PKR.com? What are your thoughts of the site?
Thanks ShortStacked.

Dear Chris,
First, let me take this opportunity to thank you for helping make PKR such a huge success. Over 20,000 of you have already signed up and downloaded our software since May and we've been overwhelmed by the positive response to the game. We're glad to see that you're enjoying playing PKR as much as we enjoyed building it.
Today marks our real money launch on PKR. While we're ery proud of the game we're delivering to our players and excited about giving them the opportunity to play for real money, we're also disappointed to announce that, we can't offer real money play to our US based players at this time.
No doubt you've been following the news that the Senate may ote on a bill that could ban online gaming in the United States. As a result, we've had some tough decisions to make regarding the launch of real money play on PKR in the US. We've concluded that we have no choice but to postpone our launch for real money in the USA while we wait for the Senate's decisio... | | Read Entire Entry |
