With the ban there on betting games we have turned our attention to charity gaming where donations are raised through poker tournaments. Since most emotion is handled by the player, other cues beyond poker gameplay will need to be the players' guide. You make many great points in this article and I hope we get to play together somewhere immersive and fun too. ~In Kenzo, the green fairy~ We’ve hit many challenges in creating a virtual poker environment, most recently in Second Life.

I have indeed noted PKR.com as an innovator in the past, and do appreciate your company's efforts in enhancing online poker gameplay. I should have mentioned it in the article; unfortunately I am not able to try it out myself due to the shortsightedness of US politicians. That said, PKR surely faces the same challenges of realistic gameplay that I mentioned in the article. Ultimately it is a matter of preference -- if an immersive and social experience is the primary concern for a player, then PKR.com is definitely the best choice right now. Thanks for your comment.
