AJ Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I know it's been discussed here before, but looking for updated views. I've installed today,a nd it looks wonderful, my first thoughts are it'll attract shallow players, more interested in the style over substance, and should therefore in theory be a fish tank anyone playing there want to give some feedback on their experiances ??

NickNick Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Re: Pkr ??` I have played there before and i found the game to be slow and annoying. i have heard recently that there are a lot of fish there though :nana But anyway, i now play on a different and better 3D poker site that puts pkr to shame :drums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voiceofjoe Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Re: Pkr ??` I've played on there also and its very slow, and found it bugged the hell out of me - with people whooping etc between hands. Its a bit like the Anna Kournikova of Poker Sites, very easy on the eyes - but not good enough to be up there with the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Re: Pkr ??` I actually gave it another go last week (for the first time since Beta testing) and to be honest it was intolerable ........ There was a freeroll - but that filled up faster than the William Hill ones, so I only tried play money, but practicality/ease of play is certainly not considered within the design - and Multitabling? no way!!! I'm sure there will be a lot of bad/new players, but the other deficiencies mean I wont be playing there!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokerjace Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Re: Pkr ??` As i've mentioned before this is my main site at the minute and while some of the features are annoying the amount of fish make it bearable. Lets be honest if i can clean up there some of you lot could retire in a year!:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there will be a lot of bad/new players, but the other deficiencies mean I wont be playing there!!! I gave this another go today, with a view to the upcoming "springfest" gtd tournaments .... I made a deposit so that I'd be on real money tables .... have to say, changed my opinion a little ..... MAINLY because of the huge number of appallingly bad players ... it really has to be seen to be believed!!! and the discovery that you can multitable!!!! (Not sure about multitabling with other sites, but multitabling within pkr was managable.....) It will never become my "home" for playability or ease of use, however whilst it's attracting such bad players, have to give it some consideration..... It claimed to have over 3000 players connected .... seemed a little hard for me to believe :unsure but there were full cash tables (limits from 2c/4c NL :ok) Might give some of the springfest games a chance (assuming they dont clash!!!)

slapdash Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Re: Pkr ??` I downloaded this and had a go on a 2c/4c table. It could easily get unbearably irritating very quickly! .... have to say' date=' changed my opinion a little .....

I don't know how much those monkeys who are typing the complete works of Shakespeare get paid per hour, but I expect they could make a better living here.

If two intelligent men like you can find it almost tolerable , then a Sun reader like me must give it another go, plus they've given me a free tourney entry somewhere:\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a resource hog on my laptop that it's painful doing anything else while I'm playing. Including typing this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouch Potato Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: Pkr ??` It seems very non functional to me. Hand History appears to be very hard to look up and I can't even find how to type notes on players. On the plus side, I managed to make my avatar look a lot like the person my username is named for :lol Barbie meets Poker? I must admit though, I like the option of not seeing your cards when they are dealt, and having to look at them again to see what you've got. Call me crazy but I like it.

Crouch Potato Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: Pkr ??` To answer your original question AJ, there's nothing but a ton of fish at the 2c/4c NL tables. The only problem is, I have no bait :sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swampster Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Re: Pkr ??` just tried it for the first time last night. I've never seen so many total fish on a poker site before ! Annoyingly I didnt get the cards to take advantage but there was a guy donking off $300 in an hour by playing every hand. Insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouch Potato Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Re: Pkr ??` I've been playing around on the $5 S'n'G's and there appear to be just as many fishes. I've cashed 3 out of the 4 times and won twice in the 4 I've played. Funnily enough both times I won I only started playing well in HU when I played my cards blind :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voiceofjoe Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Re: Pkr ??` I've found the Ring games slow, and TBH a lot of poor players, but one or 2 very useful (at my standard). They probably realised the prospects of easy money. However I have found that the 2 Man STT's are really quite suited to this 3D Malarky :ok - and I've been playing those, almost totally. Never played them on 'regular' sites before, as I couldn't see the appeal - plus and this may sound crazy but i think that there is the option for 'tells' when people have to lift their cards up to view them. I know if someone studied me they could certainly pick up a tell with the frequency and time spent lifting up the cards.:sad Although that said I may just clear my bonus then remove it.

slapdash Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Re: Pkr ??` I only discovered yesterday that there's a "lite" version (under Start >> All Programs >> PKR ). Seems to reduce the resource hogging considerably, and I haven't noticed any difference with how the program runs, although I had already turned off most of the sillier options.

georgej Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Re: Pkr ??` Thanks for the heads-up Slapdash (pun intended :unsure ) I stopped looking at the site due to the resource drain. My computer is only about 2 years old but with 256MB Ram was very sluggish. Didn't usually see my cards after they were dealt as it was trying to keep up with the other graphics going on. Maybe time to get off the wagon now and see what the lite version is like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
