ABSOLUTE POKER

You’ve decided which online poker site you like. You’ve funded your account. Now, you’re ready to play. Only one questions remains. Where?

The first thing you’ll want to do once you’ve established which card room you’re playing at is to find a playing environment that works best for you. We’re not talking about which virtual table you should play poker at. We’re referring to your physical surroundings outside of the online poker world.

Some people prefer to play poker while seated in their computer room or home office. The place where they’re most comfortable surfing is a good enough environment to play poker in. What’s more, an office environment allows some players to focus better.

Other online poker players refer to play poker in front of the television. This is easily accomplished if your computer of choice is a laptop (although playing poker on a desktop in front of a television isn’t unheard of). This is ideal for players who wish to watch TV between hands as well as for those who are great at multi-tasking.

Having a laptop is ideal for playing poker online. A portable computer allows you the flexibility to play from anywhere in your house if you’ve got a wireless internet connection. Those with a backyard patio can enjoy playing online poker outdoors if warm weather is on their side.

Some poker players have invested in a low-cost laptop for the sole purpose of poker playing. While you may not have the money up front to shell out for an extra machine, the money you can win playing poker online can make a laptop purchase seem as ordinary as buying lunch.

No matter where you choose to play, you’re guaranteed to have fun playing poker online.

There are a million reasons to play online poker. Unfortunately, we don’t have the time or wordsmithing manpower to write about all one million of them. But don’t worry. We’re not going to leave you hanging, wondering what these reasons are. In this article, we’ll focus on a few aspects of online poker that will leave you begging for an open seat.

Clone your poker skills

Imagine walking into a public card room and sitting down at three or four different poker tables - simultaneously. Unless you’ve mastered the fine art of cloning (something which the writer of this article spends most of his spare time doing) this feat is beyond impossible. Now try to the same thing in an online poker card room. The result? Great success. When you play online poker, you’re not limited to a single table. Put your skills to the test in multiple tournaments or at multiple cash game tables. With the ability to multiply your potential for profit exponentially, the online poker tables have land-based games beat.

Hide behind a mask

Sport a mask to a public card room and there’s a good chance you’ll get kicked out. With online poker, there’s no need to hide your face because nobody can see who you are. If you’re not interested in revealing your identity, the online poker tables are your best bet.

No intimidation

A lot of players shy away from a bricks-and-mortar poker room for the sheer intimidation factor. Bad players are afraid of being bullied by the ones who are either really good or by those who just think that they are. When you play online poker, there’s no reason to be afraid. Nobody can see you sweat. Nobody can hear you think out loud. Nobody can read your tells.

If you’re not yet convinced that online poker tables can be superior to their bricks-and-mortar counterpart, grab an open seat – any time of day – and find out why millions of players play online poker every day.
