Every first sunday of the month – PKR The Main Event

June 24, 2011 | Published in: Poker room news  

With the best structure anywhere online, the PKR Main Event is a must play for all of the poker purists out there. Spread over two-days the PKR Main Event takes place on the first Sunday of every month before reconvening for the later stages the following night.

Perfect for those who have work but still want to go deep in big events, the tournament starts at 18:00 GMT and pauses at 12:30 GMT and is then restarted at 18:00 GMT – giving players the opportunity to freshen and get ready for the crucial final countdown.

With an unbeatable structure and a $44,000 expected prizepool, the Main Event is a realistic target for every PKR tournament player. Direct buy-in costs just $35; while there are a host of different types of satellites you can take a shot at from under $2. There’s also two hours of late registration once the action gets underway.
As an extra bonus all Main Events will be recorded and shown on PKR TV, so if you go deep you’ll be able to watch all of the action over and over again!

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!
