8 Reasons Why Online Poker is Better Than the Real Thing

8. You can play in your PJs! You may be a sexy mama in a red dress but playing in your lingerie is frowned upon in Las Vegas! Playing poker online allows you to dress or loojk as you please. Being in the comfort of your own home will also help you relax and concentrate on the game.

7. You don’t have to leave the casino Whilst in a real casino it is a good idea to get up for bahroom breaks and to eat. When you are in the comfort of your own home you do not have to get up from the table (as you are sitting at a virtual table). You can also play real people any time (there is never any shortage of opponents. You also don’t have to pay for gas or tuxedo rental!

6. You are in more control With online poker you get to choose your own game and call the shots. Some casinos only provide certain flavors of poker (usually the most popular versions of poker). Online poker allows you to play any flavor of poker from Texas Holdem to Badugi or Horse

5. Play faster. The PC age allows everything to be faster. Now you can play poker faster and thus treat yourself to up to 50% more hands per hour than you would in a live casino.

4. You get to be anonymous. This can work to your advantage as you no longer give away “tells” about yourself, and you can mold a fictional ID to lure your opponents into overconfidence.

3. You can use poker tools to help your game. Playing from home allows you to have as many tools and toys as you want. You can look at hand histories and use tools to track your betting rate. There are all sorts of tools to help you improve your game. If you try bringing electronic toys into a Vegas casino and you will probably need a lawyer.

2. Online poker is cheaper. Not only do you save money on a physical trip to the casino, but you also pay less rake (most online casinos have a cap of $3.00) and get to snub the dealer of a tip. Thankfully, the computer dealer doesn’t care-he’s loaded on virtual drinks anyway.

1. More tables and more chances to play! If you have ever visited a real casino then you know how crowded the property can get. With online poker there is no long waiting periods for tables to open. Additionally, you can take part in “multi tabling” and play several games at once. Some experienced online players can handle up to 10 or more games at the same time. Don’t try this in Vegas unless you’ve mastered human cloning.

Online poker gives you real gambling action and real money but in a life simulation that’s just a little bit better than reality.
