Hi, I am a new online poker player. I play online poker because it is convenient and I don't need to go to a casino. I can play on my bed, which is the best thing for me. So I wonder why you guys play online poker?
For me, there are several reasons. First of all, it is very comfortable to play from home. Furthermore, you can play many more hands online than in the casino.
In addition, especially introverted personalities much prefer to play at home than live.
Also, I am currently building my bankroll only with freerolls. Of course, this is only possible online. :)

Such a simple answer. Because its so convenient but mostly its because we dont all get to live in Vegas, in countries or cities where live poker is at your fingertips. I have to travel to the capital for example if I want a live session of poker and I have to find accomodation and even after that Im a bit wary ..

I've started playing just for fun, as any other game. Pandemic vibes.
Now, I keep playing for fun, but when there's money to be made it gets even more exciting!

The biggest draws to online poker for me are convenience, and the fact that I can play multiple tables and faster games. I'd rather play 8 tables with 5 minute blinds in a tournament than one with 30 minute or an hour blinds. Yes your advantage over weaker players is reduced, there's more luck involved. But if you play well you will still have an advantage and you'll be able to grind out so many more games that it can become more profitable.

I cant really afford to play live so much and online I can afford to play. Also since covid our local poker room stopped having tournaments so I have no reason to go there,

it is convenient to play online, and the number of games will be much larger than offline, you can play several tables and different types of poker in parallel

Hi poker fans,

Online poker is very convenient, offers a wide range of games and most of all it can be very lucrative. I like the fact that you get to play more hands and since the whole idea of "Rush Poker" online poker is more action-packed than ever before.

The funny thing though, is that I experience more success in live games than online. I would occasionally take my winnings from playing live and lose it online! Although I enjoy online poker, it is something that I am constantly trying to master and make into a revenue stream for me.

One day I will get there!

I think because you can do it comfortably from home. You are flexible and have the casino in your pocket. What is also added that you can play at several tables at the same time. This is of course not possible in real life and generally a much higher frequency of hands is played. This keeps the game more exciting.

Certainly both have their appeal and I would also like to play in a big live tournament one day but usually it is much easier to integrate online tournaments into everyday life I would say :)

Online poker is so popular because it is accessible for everyone. It's not like in reality, where they won't even let you into the casino table if you don't have stacks of money in your pocket. On the internet you can get into virtual tables for a few euros/dollars, because no one will kick you out. The offer is diversified, so you can choose from hundreds of online poker rooms, where they play from the lowest stakes, to amounts with many zeros.

In addition, the competition is so high that poker sites offer substantial bonuses to those who deposit money there. Basically, in order to start playing poker on the net, you only have to meet two conditions: to be of legal age and a card with which you can make payments online.

Started out to learn the game. It's better to lose 2€ instead of 200€ at the casino... learning ranges, pott odds etc just works better online and easier hand history analysis methods

In online poker, you can find a game for all limits. I always have opponents for Sit & Go or Tournament Poker

Because I like to play in arranged places where I know I'm going to lose. I'm just kidding, for convenience and because in my city I don't have available casinos with poker rooms.

Because when I showed up at "Mohegun Sun" in in my underwear they wouldn't let me inside 🤣

Seriously though, I don't have to pay to drive there (about 1.45 min) I don't need to purchase food, and I can play with much lower stakes. If it were closer I would go more often, but i would still play online primarily due to the fact I can play microstakes every day
