There are certainly pros and cons to playing poker online as well as playing live poker. However, the preference is up to each individual as online poker play may work for some but not for others. Here are the pros and cons of playing an online poker game versus a live poker game.
When you choose to go online, you also choose to get rid of the hassle of going to a casino. Going to a casino doesn’t just require you to spend more in terms of fuel, snacks, entry fee and so on. Additionally, some casinos also have in-house entertainment to tempt you lonely guys. Evening pole dance performances are also offered. Therefore, you may end up spending your entire monthly payment. Also, the dangers of going to a casino are that if you don’t have enough money, you will end up borrowing from loan sharks. If you don’t pay back what you’ve borrowed, you’ll be beaten or worse, DEAD! However, if you choose to go online, you are free from all these negative vibes and enjoy your game of poker in complete comfort within the confines of your own home.
But then, going online also has its risks. You run the risk of your bank account number being kept on the server of the online poker game provider. When certain people get their hands on it, they will go to great lengths to get your PIN number to drain the money from your bank account. Imagine all your hard work, your blood and sweat draining away just for being reckless. In addition, you will not be able to enjoy a game of poker due to the lack of atmosphere. You will not be able to practice your skills in distinguishing a poker face from a normal face.
In a real casino, on the other hand, you can enjoy a full poker game with the atmosphere. Here you can practice your skills at assessing what the other person is trying to accomplish, as well as become the master of deception by practicing how to hone your poker face skills. No, you can’t have a poker face just by listening to Lady Gaga’s Poker Face. I guess the casino has its charm because you can know what’s going on instead of relying on some computer program. You have the opportunity to feel that the cards are in your hands and anticipate the favorite cards in the hope that you can win the pot. However, the choice is up to you.
