PKR opened its doors for depositing player about a week before this review was written. They have been promoting strong and it seems to have paid off with a reasonable number of players online and participating in play money poker games, cash games and tournaments to make PKR viable to play at.
They offer the basic games of Holdem, Omaha and Omaha 8 or better. I believe that they plan for stud games in the future.

The game at PKR is what it is, a graphics intense game with a lot of bells and whistles, that layers a lot on top of a poker game. This does slow down play. You are shown your hole cards when they are dealt to you, and you then have to click a button to see them, which is reflected in your avatar looking at the hole cards. This can be really bad for some of us.
Currently games are limited to Omaha and Holdem.
