Depends what you want to play. If you want to play to have fun then PKR surely is the better choice, but rake is 10% up to NL10 I think and SNG rake is slightly higher too I believe. On 888 rake is lower on the other hand, but promotions and software are worse.

Dont go on PKR though their bonus is good and the field on PKR is very soft so you can make some money , but on PKR there software does not allow you to play much multi tabling as when you 2 table the software is weird and you have one big screen and one small one , so if you want to multi table better stick on 888, but also both those sites failed in comparison to other poker sites so better stick with pokerstars and all !

I do not know a lot about PKR, but if you want to make a deposit on 888poker, you should have a look at the deposit codes. Normally there are several available. Depending on how high your deposit is you can participate in different promotions.

neither - allready the romanin legislation will be available on 15 so is not indicated to make a deposit on other poker skin than ps ( only poker room will take the licence 100% ) , other skins dont think will have somuch interest in this pool. make a deposit after you know that one of them allready applied for the license

yes but i understand if they will not take licence they will refund all the bankroll because if they dont make this this means they steal from us , or they will anounce us what they want to do about romanian players but i think 888 is more bigger then pkr and is more sure they will take license for romania

888 has a much bigger player base than PKR. It has more games going, and the software is usable. Unlike the one from PKR. That room is only for recreational players, who want to play one table only.

Depends on what you are looking for. 8 88 is bigger site and probably you will find easier a table to join. Many BRM members play there and have good things to say. Pkr from what we have seen lately ere as less players but they still do good offers. Compare both of them and the requirement to clear the bonuses.
I play on PKR and I can't complain. I play PKR Lite so you can play 9 tables at ones without any problems. PKR also have really nice promos i.e. lottery for 150 players where 16 places are ITM and for 1st place you can get 100$. Sounds great?

I guess 888 have better bonus than pkr, and more people at the tables and more variety of games. At pkr you can also find good promotions but less people at the tables.

From a personal point of view I didn't really like PKR,I had a few issues with the software but that was quite a while ago so it may have got better.I do receive various offers still from PKR which do seem quite good. I recently went back to 888 to play after receiving free tickets to the Hallo Win promotion and since then I have turned a $8 freeroll prize into around $180 playing snap and small buy ins and I'm not the greatest player.There always seems to be a promo going on as well and they have sent me quite a few free tournament tickets lately as well. Picking a site is probably a matter of personal taste so why not deposit a small amount at both and then make your mind up.

PKR if you want to hear the fan of your laptop working all the time and are in the mood to wait 15 mins for a sng to take off. 888 if you want volume and don't mind the fact that your avatar at the table cannot do any chip tricks or put his balls on the table when he goes all-in.

If you are even slightly interested in crossdressing, I would strongly suggest PKR which allows user to customize his real life looking baby dolls practically anyway you would like.
They also have pretty nice casino games that will blow your mind as well as your bankroll if you don't stop staring at the boobs of attractive female dealers.
Just to clafiry, I am absolutely not a cross-dresser/transvestite, but have been a huge fan of PKR.com.

I just haven't ever thought of PKR in the way that Tony MONTANA scribes it, but next time I am there I will,certainly give it some thought! Maybe this is the benefit of PKR over every other site! I haven't really played there for a while but may head on right over there!

I don't really understand why everyone is "bashing" the profibility of PKR. Why make assumptions that are not true? Look at the sharkscope leaderboard and you will see people grinding serious on PKR being in notable profit for the year, having like 15-20% ROI at $20 SNGs. Where else is this still possible nowdays? And about the volume - their average # of games played per playing-day is around the 30 mark. I'd say that the huge majorty here doesn't play close to that on average. The statement that PKR is something for one-tablers only is also false. They have an additionaö 2D software for a reason.

Well for me both of them are pretty good poker sites They both have pros and cons but i like to play at both only thing thing i did´t like a pkr was the fee they collect it´s just a personal against the finantial system that charges money for everything About the law in Romania if it will be released on 15 if I were you I´ll rather wait a few days to be sure them gamble with the chance of getting my money block for some time

Well it might be true, that 888 has a much bigger player base than PKR, but I would absolutely disagree concerning the software. If it works it is allright, although not as good as Pokerstrs. But very often it does not work correctly at all.
