There are many benefits online poker offers in regards to live
poker. You probably can't play $0.10/$0.25 No limit Hold'em at your local casino
and this is the most important
reason why so many people all
around the world play poker online.
Another very important factor why poker online has grown intensively is its
availability. You can find a game at any limit at any variation very easily all
day long and there are no waiting lists like you are used to in your local casino.
And most important,
you can play in the comfort of you own home.
Possibly the greatest advantages to poker online are its speed and
multi-tabling options.
In a casino you are dealt possibly less than 30 hands
an hour at a
table where as online you can play close to 80 hands an hour at any table. And you can play
more than one table to! That means you can play more than ten times the hands
per hour online compared to a local casino.
If you are a close to break-even player you can always make money online
through poker bonuses. This is not possible at your local casino.
Also, the rake is much lower and you do not have to tip the dealer.
