Five Reasons Why Online Poker Beats Live Poker
Table Of Contents
Which is better – live or online poker? Plenty of opinions exist on both sides of the argument.
Live poker has been around much longer, of course. The modern era of the game, however, starting with the “poker boom” of the mid 2000s, was fueled by the introduction of online poker, and has produced a generation of players who prefer online poker to its live counterpart.
The following is a list of five reasons why online poker is superior to live:
Speed of Play
More Games/Variety
Lower Stakes
Ease of Use
Hand Histories
Speed of Play
A typical live, full ring poker game will deal around 25-30 hands per hour. Short-term variance takes a lot longer to overcome.
