Just wondering if any of the well known pros actually play at PKR?

As i see D. Negreanu has his own thread here where he posts all his blogs, but does he actually play on PKR?

Do any of them or is it Pokerstars and FullTilt only where they hang.

PKR doesn't accept American players and as far as I know, no pro's are associated with PKR

I'm sure there are some great European and Canadian unknowns out there, but as for Negreanus or Hellmuths, not on PKR.

Thats not actually Daniel posting his blog.

Jennifer Tilly and Phil Laak were all set to be the faces of PKR on the tournament circuit, but that deal fell through once PKR decided not to be open to US players.

As for pros playing on PKR, I doubt it very much. A poker pro is looking for a maximum return on his money and time. PKR deals out roughly 35-40 hands per hour where a 2D software platform deals out roughly 80 hands per hour. It's just not time and cost efficient to be a pro on PKR.

I, a well known non-pro, on the other hand enjoy the slower pace of PKR

Download Pokerstars and Full Tilt Poker and you can watch the pros play everyday.

You want to watch pros play, check out the RailHeaven table on Full Tilt Poker. It's just sick to see how much these guys play for.

Full Tilt Poker

It's not uncommon for there to be over $1 million on the table
