The future of online poker is here and it might just be spelt PKR. Why? Because PKR is an ambitiously sophisticated 3D site being launched this February by former video games developers who claim it will revolutionise the online poker experience.

PKR will allow a virtual reality version of you to sit down at famous tables around the world playing for cash in the same way as other mainstream cardrooms. The 3D characters (see right) are fully customisable creating the possibility for millions of users to have unique versions of themselves playing. To cap it off, PKR will also scan your ugly mug onto your avatar if you supply a photo of yourself.
