PKR version 2 review

August 3, 2010 | Published in: Poker room news  

Yesterday, 2nd of August, PKR finally launched the new version 2 of the client software with some drastic changes.

The look and feel has changed as you can see in the main lobby. All cash games are in one list which you can filter (NL, PLO, PLO h/l - NL, Limit, PL - min/max stakes).

Same goes for tournements only the overview of the chips is a little different (big improvement). You can also see you current place and amount of runners in the upper right corner.

Another big “improvement” is multitabling: before the max tables was 4, now it is 9. BUT our first impression is that multitabling doesn’t work that great. A lot of blinking, slow switching between tables and laggy play (must be temporary) doesn’t encourage us to play on multiple tables. The overview of 4 tables (see example) is very busy and anoiying

Back on playing 1 table the handling is good: bigger check/call/raise buttons, 2x/3x/4x and potbet buttons, option to resize the interface and (not that important but still nice) the option to show flags.

Conclusion: much improvement but not all that great! We expected more but I think you guys will have to apply some patches by PKR in the near future. Cheers!
