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.
