It's worth going for the straights. lol

I too just had a bad time on PKR. I kept getting 2 pairs beaten by trips. Happen 4 times in about 10 hands and I decided to quit for the night and play elsewhere. lol

I watched a bit of PKR TV on Sky and YouTube. You can see it all happening, it's so funny.

One hand in the tourney, two guys had KQ, one female had 9-7 suited. Now I may have remembered this wrong, but you might find it. To cut it short, the flop gave her a gutshot I think, with 8-5-7 coming ouy. They all checked. The turn was a Queen, so naturally one guy bet out. She raised big and I think the KQ guys ended up all-in and she had called the re-raises. She was hugely behind and I truthfully remember thinking ... "Here comes the 6". Sure enough, the river was a 6 and she hit the straight. lol

Now I know the above hand isn't unusual in poker, but it happens soooo much on PKR.

I currently spend a lot of time on VC Poker on the iPoker network, and I can certainly tell there is a difference from PKR, both in the way players play and the the texture of the boards.

Problem is, I am winning on PKR because a lot of the players are bad.
