Online casinos and poker rooms are becoming more and more popular. This is perhaps a consequence of technological development, but is online poker better than poker in real life? Why? This article will give some reasons why online poker is better than poker in real life.

You can always find a game.

Have you ever experienced a moment where you want to do something but you can’t because you don’t know where you can do it? This will never happen in poker because there are so many places online where you can satisfy your appetite. Try to imagine 20 years ago. What do you think you would do if you really wanted to play poker and you didn’t know where to play and your wife wouldn’t let you go to the casino? Today one cannot help but find a solution to this problem. On the internet you can find a poker room at any time and there is always an empty seat no matter if it is a cash game or a tournament.

A lot of opportunities

If you like to play Texas Hold’em but only play Omaha at the local casino you can just open your laptop in your own living room and head over to a poker room and play Texas Hold’em and you can choose the buy-in or limits yourself instead of letting the casino choose it for you. For those who are new to poker, there is an opportunity to practice with very small bets, typically $0.01 and $0.02 in blinds, or if you are worried about risking your money in poker, you can choose to play with play money. Land-based casinos often have some kind of dress code and online casinos and poker rooms of course don’t, so you actually have a chance to win thousands of money while in your underwear.

Claim your bonus

When you play poker at land-based casinos, you can’t use some sort of bonus code to double your deposit, but if you play online, you can. For example, at PokerStars you can use a PokerStars Bonus Codes and then you will have more money to play with and you can invite your friends to play in the poker room and win some money with their deposits and winnings. Which I have never seen in any real casino.

“My bus will arrive in less than 40 minutes and I’m bored, what do I do?”

Well, could you read a book or play poker? Online poker gives you the opportunity to play poker at home when you don’t have time to go to the casino. Just take a seat in their poker room and walk out 35 minutes later. If you do, you’d prefer cash games or you’ll lose your money because the tournaments won’t be as short and you won’t take your bus because you’re the chip leader in the tournament. Online poker is generally faster than poker in real life. You usually have a minute to act in online poker and it’s hard to play psychologically and you can’t read your opponents’ thoughts by studying their moves. That makes online poker faster than real life poker, and because it’s faster, you can accumulate bankroll faster than in real life.
