A couple of days back we headed out of town to visit some old friends for some mid-summer celebrations.  I didn’t know that Eric (our host) had discovered poker and was now fully hooked on poker.  Somewhere through the course of the discussions it came out that he had just won some money playing in an online poker tournament… actually I think it was his wife complaining about how much time he spent playing poker ( the usual story…)

Eric had been driving into town to play poker at a casino with his friends, because they lived out of town this drive had been getting him down.  So he looked around at online poker sites.  We all have our preferences of online poker rooms, depending on what the sites offer etc..  But he dragged me aside and said come and look at this…

He plays poker online at pkr.com and I have to say their 3D poker room is quite impressive.  Eric likes it because it is the most life like poker room and instead of him having to drive into town to play, he can play poker at home.  Their 3d graphics and animation create an amazing online poker room that looks very realistic.

You can build your character into however you want to be.  And, he even showed me his character’s hotel room.  Although his character looks just like him, I did laugh because his online poker character was a lot slimmer than him in reality…  Eric showed me how you can change your characters waist profile.
