I am thinking of trying PKR out, has anyone and thoughts on if it is a good site and one it is safe to deposit in?
I have lost money when a couple of sites closed and I dont want it to happen again.

Pkr is okay as far as game play is and have been one stay strong sites from what I see they have been around for quite awhile. Traffic is fair. Only problem I had is it lagged like crazy if I had a few sites and games running at the same time.

Yes it's soft but I found the 3D software with people doing chip tricks / laughing / clapping extremely tilting! You can ignore all that with the light version but the play is incredibly slow - action from each player takes like 5 seconds even if they act immediately. This was just a year ago though so maybe the software has improved and is no longer so laggy.

Oh - and there seems to be a lot of chatter at the tables. It's like a social club! But that's not a bad thing. Probably attracts loads of beginners.

What sites closed?

I played in PKR a few times. There are many fish there, but they are lucky fish. :) The program needs more hardware resources than others. Theres deposit freeroll (2.5K) every month.
I play in other rooms...

Worst poker software I have every played with, can't stand playing there for that reason only. Tried it for a bit, but was a happy day when I uninstalled

You can always download their lower software, which appears as 2D not 3D if you are trying to multi table over 2 tables.

The problem I have is when running a few different clients at once and tables are overlapping , my tables pops up when its my turn when I add PKR to that list it seems it never pops up and I am always sitting out.

I was playing in PKR's 2D "lite" version and it is just as bad as the 3D, and seems to also hog an absurd amount of resources. I also would experience time-outs fairly often when multitabling for some reason. Not to mention the lag and frequent disconnects which become lol frustrating when you're involved in a big hand. Plus, the hole cards disappear after a few seconds which is a huge annoyance when multitabling and having to click "show" everytime you switch between tables. The hatred I have toward this software is unreal; not even I thought I could actually hate a poker client this much.

No.

Good site if you can handle the software IMO. Soft players, and some decent tourney structures. Cash players also soft.

Get RB, or it is a killer with rake.

1. Good tournament structure
2. Plenty of bad players
3. Poor traffic compared to bigger sites.
I guess this is a room for recreational players mostly, not really for grinders.

Its a special site. Its defenitly not for regulars, cause its too slow and poor traffic. Multitabling with more than 4 Tables is almost impossible. U can not choose ur prefered seat and u need a strong computer , because it needs lot of RAM and fast CPU.
If u just want to have some fun with the possibiltiy to catch some fish , go there
