Nice question mate! For me the best and more appealing graphics are on Pokerstars (especially the black 'Slick Theme') and I'm also fan of the fast and crazy play of the FullTilt games with all those clickety-click slot-machine-like sounds and themes like 'Jungle' and 'Beach'... it's fast and funny...
I haven't still tried PKR although I've seen some of their 3D graphics which are really extraordinary, but I think sometimes you just want to play the game faster... PartyPoker for example has very simple graphics (the Modern Table themes), but yet they are robust, cute and appealing to the eye...
For me the interface is important. Not graphics specifically but being able to resize and tile at least 4 tables is a must.
I also like the visual hand histories on sites like full tilt as opposed to a full text document. I can more easily put myself in someones shoes if i have the visual representation.
For me Full tilt is ahead on these. But good game selection in general will be more important.
I cant stand PKR. I find it cheesy and frustrating.

It's obvious graphics its not so important. But also when graphic is tragic sometimes i can't stand playing some rooms... Forgot what was the room with bad green color which made my eyes hurt... but i closed it fast and withdraw cause that.

i started off on pkr but it ended up doing my head in. I like pokerstars plenty options for the size of tables and how many as u want and fulltilts ok to for the same reasons but i take the daf avatars off and keep my room plain because i think the beach and all that stuff look daft

Hello everybody! PKR I tried and I find their graph really great. But the problem is that the game becomes too slow, I think people take too much time to make a decision as if they were live. But the blinds are structurally Internet. So you end up playing too little blow before the blinds increase. So I prefer PokerStars is little more personalized the table and even change the background image that just really be nice. See you soon for new posts lol!

PKR isnt that much slower than other sites, but they generally have a s**t blind structure on low/med stakes STT/MTT which compounds the issue somewhat
