Advantages of Online Poker
Playing poker online has many advanatges.
Here we give you a summary of what we think are the advantages of online poker:
- No Tipping
In a live casino it is usual to give $1 - $5 (or more) to the dealer when you have won a pot. Over the year this can be a huge amount of money. When you play online there is no tipping as the dealer is a software program.
- No Physical Tells
When you play in a live casino the professional players have an advantage as they know how to read your physical tells. With the years they have developped this skill and know how to use it. When you have not the same skill you have a big disadvantage and you will lose money for that.
- 24/7 service
In live casinos you often to wait for a seat at a table. Online you can choose between numerous poker rooms and in each poker room you will find hundred's or thousand's of tables available for you. And that 24 hours a day, as players from all time zones play online.
- Promotions
As there is a big competition between the poker rooms many of them have promotions to get new players. These promotions include deposit bonuses, reload bonuses, freerolls, rakeback or shop systems where you can buy items with points you get for playing.
Live casinos normally don't offer such promotions.
- Multitabling
In a live casino you can play at one table at the same time. In the online poker rooms you can open and play at several tables at simulatbously. When you are a winning player your expected income is n BB / 100 ( n Big Blinds per hour ). In a live casino you are dealt about 30 hands (sometimes less) per hour. Online you can expect about 60 hands per hour and you can play several tables.
With four tables you make about 240 hands per hour. Compare this with the 30 hands per hour in the casino.
Therefore online poker is more profitable for winning players than live play in a casino.
