What's the benefit of online poker?

[chipnick]

Unconventional play, full stats on your rivals and your own strategy are very important in online poker. Yes, we can't see our opponents' emotions, but our rivals can't see our emotions either! Be unconventional, be aggressive at the right moments, and sometimes buy a flush or a straight for free against players who constantly call your raises.

Honestly, didn't even think of that.. Clubgg offers that but, I dont know about other ones though.

All the reasons Poker Orifice listed. Plus for me personally I'll add the following I can easily think of off the top of my head:
1) The competition. Online is just tougher then live.
2) Way more hands an hour even if one only single tables. I enjoy double tabling most the time.
3) MTT's 24/7...7 days a week, 365 days a year. My local casino can't offer that.
4) I don't have to put up with people/degenerates/drunks that are the majority of the live players at my local casino.
5) No drive thru traffic for 30-45mins one-way.
6) There's always that one player who hasn't showered in like 2+ months at every table.
7) A lot of live players are miserable and insurable looking people.
8) I can sit at home in my underwear and play if I choose. Sure the wife will be pissed but at least I won't get arrested .

Cheers!!!

I agree with all of the reasons listed, especially #8.

One of the benefits is some sites let you play anonymously, so you have no
"reputation" going into it. Another benefit is that online takes the human element out of it.
Online saves on time and travel expense.
It also allows you to play the small stakes tables; not everybody is a high roller.
Online is good because there are multiple tournament opportunities, if you belong to more than one site.
Online has totally free tournaments and free heads up poker.

Bien que le poker en ligne présente de nombreux avantages, il comporte également certains risques, comme une dépendance potentielle, but you need to have a level of experience to become a winner, especially you need to take poker seriously, it doesn't matter if online or physical, you need to know how to play well and exploit your opponents in poker based on these cards and the style of play that you adopt at the table; you need to train and learn and improve your mistakes to progress quickly.

Good morning everyone, the advantage is that you can play at several tables at the same time, which is not possible in live poker.
In addition, online poker is a more dynamic type of poker. I myself do not have the patience to play live, where you can spend an hour without getting good cards and sometimes even more. Live poker requires a lot of patience.
If in online poker you already have people playing any 2 cards, imagine if all these players were to play live poker.

Online poker can be great for learning and improving because you can play more hands in less time, practice different strategies, and use tools to analyze your gameplay. Plus, it’s convenient—you can play anytime, anywhere!

I have only recently got into online poker and I haven't played high stakes yet. Honestly I find it hard to see the appeal sometimes because it feels almost entirely luck based. Trying to bluff seems impossible as most players seem to snap call from the start. One of the hardest parts for me is not being able to see anyone’s face while playing. In live poker, picking up on physical tells or reading someone’s reactions can give you a big edge, but online, it feels like flying blind.

If someone can explain to me the actual benefits playing online I would like to hear it.

Facts, there is so much benefits in live poker then online poker. For me online poker is a game changer, I'm from a country where there aren't any casinos that host poker events

Na minha opinião, a verdadeira vantagem de jogar online é, antes de tudo, a capacidade de jogar 4 ou 6 mesas ao mesmo tempo. Além disso, o jogo online é bastante conveniente porque você pode jogar em casa, em um ambiente confortável e em segurança. Concordo com você sobre a sorte, mas, no entanto, acho que você concordará comigo que o pôquer online é um entretenimento muito bom

I fully agree, in addition to entertainment, it's more profitable in the long run right kkkk

 

[Sparta77]

The Othon game is comfortable and you can compete on a solid table. It is true that bluff and luck are hard but I say that you have to adapt to the style.

 

[TeUnit]

It is a lot easier to multi-table online than it is live.

Its also easier to improve your game because you can play so many more hands.

You hide your emotions... 🤑

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

Online poker and live poker are two totally different things, in one you have a random card delivery system that is prepared for more cross play between bettors, it's also difficult to bluff because there are almost always 2 or 3 players who have a game project before or after throwing the flop, in live poker that doesn't happen, the game crosses between participants are more spaced out. I don't know if you express me well, I hope you understand what I meant

 

[Stringy]

it does sometimes seem luck based but that could just be variance, it's good to note it's a different style of game that face to face poker where you can read a player based on more things than you can do online. Online is more about understanding statistics under a very short time span whereas face to face has a lot more aspects and the time span is longer
There's also just a lot of freedom online to do other things, move around, play more than one at once etc etc

 

[pavel1111111]

The advantage îs the relax way and the confort of your house or bed 😅😆 and the variance of tourneys that You have online , You can play at any hour You want 🥳😁

The advantage of playing online is that you can play a large volume of games monthly and play several tournaments simultaneously.
ex live if you play live tournaments you can't do 100 tournaments, online already allows you to beat 500+ games in mtt (tournaments) or even more than 2k games on hyper and turbos sites.
Regarding people not folding their hands, you should adapt a strategy at the beginning because that's what happens most frequently, players are big on chips and tend to see a lot of flops and pay to form a good hand until the river.

I recommend that at the beginning you play more value in your hand (when you have a strong hand or when you hit a strong hand at the table) and avoid bluffing since we know that the population does not fold much.
And when you have value in your hand, bet very hard to extract chips from them as they don't fold often.

The stage where you will see the bluffs work is the MG and LG teams that already have higher blinds and are closer to the money and then you can apply your bluffs and they will work with greater frequency.

online waiting is good at micro-limits; in my experience, offline is mostly for fun; you need a serious bankroll to get up seriously!

 

[sibkaz]

I play sitting in a chair, sometimes lying on the couch when I want, drinking tea or looking outside, there are few external stimuli, I create an atmosphere that is comfortable for me...)
