Online Poker Thoughts

By Simon M Skinner


Online poker has a shady image thanks to legitimate fraud and the UIGEA. Here's to hoping more subsidiaries keep this option on the table. Online poker has created egos that are off the chart among young, winning players. That coupled with the fact that many of them haven?t reached maturity yet, or seen the outside of their houses in a year doesn?t make for good logical deduction.

Online poker has ridden on the back of poker's new appeal to become the internet success story. It's easy to join in - you sign on to a site such as 888.com or Party Poker, submit your credit card number and start to play on a 'table' showing yourself and your opponents.

Online poker can be a lot of fun, and quite profitable if you choose to practice and learn the game. Online poker can be great fun is you pick up the tricks. And picking up the tricks is easy, just study and observe!

Personally, if I play for several hours without taking a break, my eyes will burn for a long time, and I need to take 1-2 days off. There's no good in playing 8 straight hours one day if you're in no condition to play the next 2 days.

You had to wait how long to get a seat? Personally, my game relies a lot on the style of play at the table combined with my ability to adjust to that style. When I switched to primarily online play, I focused a lot of my efforts on hand selection and eliminating betting patterns.

Online poker is both immensely popular and a great place for beginners to learn the rules of the game. Online poker software will prompt you when it's your turn to play and present you with all your possible moves.

Online poker is obviously rigged. You are playing against a stacked deck and a nest of bots programmed to steal your money when you enter an online poker room.

On the positive side, people who live far from casinos and don't want to play in underground games can enjoy a safe game of poker from the comfort of their own homes.
