Why is PKR in trouble?
https://www.cardschat.com/news/pkr-c…on-board-14745
First, I am a Silver Member at PKR. This means that I paid more than a $ 1000 in rake there.
I used to play on PKR but now I left and here are some of the reasons:
They doubled the points required to clear a bonus.
They took away my favorite game the 10 seats PLO8.
They changed the "Club monthly freeroll"; it used to be free to enter. Now we have to rake or do a mission to get in. And usually our stack is dependent on how much we rake. It gives a clear advantage to the high stake players.
Also they introduced 2D so the regs can mass multi-table and clean the fishes faster.
They seem to be moving away from the recreational players; to the opposite of PokerStars and FullTilt which are rewarding the low stakes more and more.
Finally the management ignored almost every suggestion in their forums. So no wonder they are struggling.
