Let’s start with differences of online poker from off line poker game as well as the pros and cons of the online version. The main principal difference is obvious – gamblers, the opponents can’t see each other. Hence, on one hand a player doesn’t have to maintain his “poker image” and also on the other hand the player can not “read” the opponent hand by centering on one’s body Language. As a result, in online poker room the psychological moment of the game is rather weak, for someone it is good as well as for someone it’s not so great. In other respects online poker presents only advantages and it will take a long time to name all of them. Here are the main ones.
Any room the same as any online casinos work 24 hours a day 365 days each year and any gambler may play all around the clock hole year.
A player does not have to tog up and go someplace. Playing poker online at the computer might be more comfortable that at the casino table.
The gambler can pick from a wide range of games such as the rarest ones, may play during a fifteen minute break; or leave the table any time. Players may participate in a range of tournaments and cash-games, can play short handed tables or face to face, may play at several online poker room tables at a time, play many games in an hour with simultaneous shuffling and dealing. Time-limit for decision taking makes the game more dynamic. The players don’t have to control and count the jackpot and their own chips.
