I would not reg that domain; however, that being said, there are plenty of people that will pay more than reg fee for any domain with the term "poker" in it. I do not believe the domain would be easily developable either...

pristinepoker.com would be better IMO but still not that good

even though it is for sale for $800 at Afternic

I think the words do not look/sound right together - JMO

If you're looking to resell a domain rather than park it for revenue, you need names that are unique or at least rare. You have to ask yourself, if someone can easily find similar alternatives at reg fee., why would they pay a premium for yours?

Personally, I don't think the word "pristine" goes well with poker at all.

As a word of advice, when you're researching words for your domains, you have to put them in quotation marks in the search engines to get results with any meaning whatsoever.

"poker pristine" gets 57 results in Google
"pristine poker" gets 73 results in Google

These are definitely not the kind of numbers you want to see.

Hope that helps

If you are investing in a name, using Google and Overture and other tools are essential if you plan to park the name as you want names that people are likely to type in. Pokerpristine.com won't get any type-ins unless it has old traffic / backlinks / or someone has developed pokerpristine.net. Which leaves you with development to make $$ in which case it really comes down to marketing and SEO more than the quality of the name imo. bodog.net... and ebay - case in point.
