Poker has been around a lot longer than the Internet and so playing poker from your computer rather

than traditional live game is still rather new. But online poker has given players new options and comes with some benefits over the live game let’s have a look

The math plays

Understanding the odds is an important part of becoming a successful online poker player. It helps you determine when you’re likely to be ahead in the hand and whether it’s worth continuing to put your money into a pot. For new players, the fastest way to accelerate their success is to learn the math of the game. In live games, the math is often blurred by ‘reads’, insight to an opponent’s actions based on their behavior at the table. In online poker, reads seldom come into play, so understanding the math becomes a larger part of the game.

Multiple tables

Once one has become comfortable with online poker, they can choose to play at more than one table at a time. This will increase the amount of time you spend playing and decrease your idle time between hands.  The more you play the better you become. Your skill level will multiply.

Faster action

Because there’s no need to shuffle a deck with random number generators and because a player is immediately prompted when it’s their turn, online poker games tend to see two to three times as many hands played per hour as live games.

No tipping

Typically, a certain amount of tipping the dealer is expected in live games. The computer dealer has no such expectations.

Play in your pajamas

One’s image is an important part of live poker, but it’s not always convenient to dress up for a game, let alone find a gathering of eight or nine likeminded individuals looking for a game. Online poker rooms are a convenient place to find a game at any time of day. Being able to play in your

Superman PJs without fear of embarrassment is a nice bonus.

Lower Rake

Generally speaking, the live card room takes a higher rake than the online poker room does. This is because in live games, there are fewer hands dealt per hour, dealers, managers and security

personnel to pay and other games competing to make the limited space profitable.

Human Error

There are many things that can go wrong in a live game that can’t online. A dealer can flip a card, deal out of sequence or miscount a wager. A player can bet out of sequence or miscalculate their hands. The automated nature of online play makes these issues non-issues.

Security

The history of live play is dotted with glorious stories of cheating, but no one wants to be the victim of a marked or a dealer who can manipulate the cards. Virtual decks are not subject to these problems.

Software Prompts

Learning the step-by-step nuances of the game becomes much easier when the poker software prompts each action or decision to make.
