The Good And The Bad About Playing Poker Online

Internet gaming and especially poker is becoming more and more popular. In fact you only have to type play poker online into google and you get 31,100,000 results. There are 100s of websites being created just for the sole purpose of letting punters gamble online. However as with any trend there are pro’s and cons, good and bad involved and these should all be taken into consideration before you embark on playing poker online.

The Good

If you make the decision to play poker online then you will never be short of people to play against. Unlike local games you don’t have to wait for everyone else to be ready or free up their busy schedule, online you are never going to have that problem. Time differences and the shear number of people online means you will always have an opponent.

The Bad

You don’t really know who you are playing. The sexy 21 year old with their bikini clad body is probably a 65 year old man who thinks you will player easier against a female! Online poker is can also be fast paced which can take some getting used too if you are new to playing poker online

As there is no face to face contact with your opponents it can be harder to work out if they are ‘blagging’ or not as you do not get to read their facial expressions to see what they are doing.

I want to play poker in my pyjamas

14 Dec

If you have played poker and understand the rules then you probably have fallen in love with the game. The rules are simple to understand, almost anyone can play and you can gamble with as much or as little money as you like! However if you are anything like me the hassle of having to venture outside on a cold winters evening for a game of cards is too much. I love having a game or 2 of poker but having to go out in the wind and the rain just to meet up with fellow opponants to get a game in. It was for this reason that I started to look into playing online.

Now I play poker online and I love it. Not only did I get some fantastic bonuses just for signing up to the site, but I read some reviews first! This helped me decide exactly which of the very many poker sites I wanted to sign up with and reassure me that my credit card details were safe.

However what I love most is that I can put the kids to bed in the evening, sit on my sofa, with the TV or some music on, nice and snug with a huge mug of hot chocolate and play a few games of poker. And yes, I do all of this with my pyjamas and my big fluffy slippers on – Heaven! If you haven’t tried it yet, I really can’t recommend it enough!
