There are tons of poker videos and live streams available for free on YouTube and Twitch. New players are starting to enjoy poker. Often the only problem: finding a game to take part in.
Whether the nearest casino is too far away or you lack the confidence to sit down at a live table, not being able to play poker can be extremely frustrating. This is especially true for those who live in countries where real money online poker is prohibited. Read more here.
Here are a few of the key benefits online poker has to offer.
Convenience
Quite a few poker rooms have a dress code. When playing online poker, it doesn’t matter how you dress.
You don’t even have to sit upright at a desk like in the office if you don’t like it. So make yourself comfortable before you start the next online session.
No access routes
The following scenario: You get in the car and drive to the nearest casino for an hour. On site, you find out that all cash game tables are occupied and ten players are on the waiting list. You’ve come to terms with the hike – so you’ll want to at least play a bit before you go home.
In online poker, the problem is solved by itself. You don’t have to move (unless the internet goes down, of course). The only movement that should not be crossed off the list: going to the bathroom.
More hands
Online poker gives you the opportunity to play many more hands than at any live table. There is a reason why the online generation understood how to play good poker so quickly: In one year online players can accommodate more hands than some veterans have played in a lifetime. If necessary, even without financial risk in play money mode.
Every decision is linked to a time bank. An online poker hand is over quickly. At the live poker table, on the other hand, some players take an absurd amount of time for each decision. In the casino it is therefore not uncommon for boredom to play hands that you would normally fold. But that is never advisable.
