PKR Poker Tournaments
August 14, 2009
In this day and age, online poker rooms need to be creative in their bonuses, promotions, software and games when trying to compete for traffic to their poker rooms … PKR Poker is no exception.
There are just simply way too many cookie cutter rooms utilizing the same skins and not doing anything to stand out from the rest of the pack. That makes it quite difficult to make your brand recognizable, much less desirable to play at.
However PKR Poker is genuniely unique and not part of a network.
One great way for poker rooms to try to stand out from the competition is to be creative in the games that they offer and the variations that they are offered in.
PKR is an excellent example of this. Not only do they offer tons of guaranteed tournaments each month, but they also offer fun variations of standard poker games making them more challenging, more rewarding and just different from anywhere else.
To provide some insight on what players can look forward to when they sign up to PKR, we have listed some of the games that are fairly unique to PKR or are flat out PKR exclusives.
PKR Exclusives
Terminator Tournaments
The Terminator Tournaments are a fun twist on your standard bounty tournaments and PKR offers two different variations, Terminator Two and Terminator Extreme.
The Terminator Extreme is only available in sit n go’s and there is no actual prize pool. All money is won by knocking players out with 80% of the bounty of each player going into your account and 20% added to your own bounty.
Terminator Two is played heads up in MTTs and sit n go formats and 100% of the prize pool goes to the bounty.
Break Thru
Break Thru tournaments are games where only the players who make it within the bubble are paid and are paid the same amount. The only difference is first place, which gets 25% of the total prize pool.
Winner Take All
Just as the title says, only the first place winner will walk away with the goods.
Double Thru
These tournaments and sit n go’s will pay out half the field once the bubble bursts making these games fast, furious and profitable.
Phase Tournaments
Phase tournaments are PKR’s step tournaments where players can start at step one and grind their way through so many steps to reach a bigger prize. This is a great way for players with smaller bankrolls to win big. Players can enjoy these heads up or in full ring game formats.
