online poker gives you freedom to play from whenever or wherever you are, it doesn't matter the color or caste you belong you are just a player at the end of the day either winning or losing.

On the Internet there are chances to win something, offline for something to eat even.

You can have as many poker faces as you want, as long as you don't show them in how you play.

The main reason is, of course, the possibility of easy money. In my opinion, the advantages of online are as follows:
1. Comfort. A person is in familiar conditions, not in a hurry and can play at any time available to him. Also, he does not have to adapt to the habits of partners.
2. Privacy. When winning a major championship, there are always fears that criminals will find out about it. It is much easier to remain anonymous on the Internet than in a casino.
For people who do not like to make quick decisions, poker on the Internet is an ideal option, because you do not need to adjust to the pace of partners. There is an incredible number of tables with different players, where you can play in several rooms.

Playing poker is a great entertainment. In addition you can win some money as well.

the biggest advantage of online gaming is having the ability to play multiple games at the same time and play more hands. which in theory gives you the opportunity to have more chance to make gains. By reducing the effect of variance on your game.

I don't live where I can play at a casino. Even online there are very few sites from me to choose from but I'm glad I have the couple I do!

intertops and Betonline

Intertops isn't as pretty but they both seem fair.

I did like when they had just the $25 and $50 free rolls on intertops but they do have some cool ones they just pop up on ya!

As many other have said, its easy and convenient. I also dont currently have the bankrool to play live games, since the lowest buyin is usually 100 times higher than online.

I just love playing it, it's the only form of gambling that has a credible 'skill' edge to it.

I play online mainly to avoid the rigors of going to my nearest casino, which detracts from my play when I do play in a physical cardroom. I'm talking about the travel and especially the waiting for a table, and the slowness of hands.

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?


I play online afterwork during the week at the lowest stakes just to get a ton of volume.
Then on the weekends I drive to the casino and play to make a profit.
Live is easier and the stakes are also much higher!!

The comfort of playing at home, I can play every day. There are free tournaments. Tournament times are shorter.

I'm somewhat anti social so I enjoy being able to play while not having to be in a room with a tonne of people I don't know. Also I really like how easy it is to review your hands online (you can pretty much do it almost immediately) by posting them on Cardschat or following your session you can plug them into a solver or even just a range program.

I think comfort and volume are the two most important boxes checked by online poker. But I do still think the big big money is in live games.

I think online is more comfortable and only online you can play many tables at a time, also live poker requires more skills to play if well

I think you have already answered your own question, but I repeat, it is convenient!
