hi
yep you can definately play for real money on PKR (not US players though)
I would say that while it takes a while to get used to the layout of the software its not only great to play on - ie enjoyable
but also potentially profitable
most of the players there are recreational and looking for the great experience - this means a recreational player who has a good solid game can do well there
and you dont have to sacrifice playing at a site with good software to get the weak players -
PKR is a bit of a win win IMHO
the tournaments are good - really nice to slow the pace a little and you start to notice how much players are re-looking at their cards etc
the cash games I need to play more but seem to have potential - more passive calling stations than maniacs as far as I can see
