8. You can play in your PJs! You may be a sexy mama in a red dress but playing in your lingerie is frowned upon in Las Vegas! Playing poker online allows you to dress or loojk as you please. Being in the comfort of your own home will also help you relax and concentrate on the game.

7. You don’t have to leave the casino Whilst in a real casino it is a good idea to get up for bahroom breaks and to eat. When you are in the comfort of your own home you do not have to get up from the table (as you are sitting at a virtual table). You can also play real people any time (there is never any shortage of opponents. You also don’t have to pay for gas or tuxedo rental!

5. You can play faster. In this internet age everything is faster and poker is no different. With online poker you can end up playing ad average of 50% more hands than you would at a live casino.

4. You get to be anonymous. This can work to your advantage as you no longer give away “tells” about yourself, and you can mold a fictional ID to lure your opponents into overconfidence.

3. You can use cyber tools and toys. Online poker lets you have as many toys and tools as you want, as you can upload hand histories, install tools for tracking an hourly rate, find out what hands are winning the most money, and even customize your own sound effects, avatars and victory dances. Try bringing electronic toys into a Vegas casino and you will probably need a lawyer.

2. It’s cheaper You do not have to make the trip to an actual casino. You do however pay less rake though but you avoid paying the dealer a tip!

1. More tables and more chances to play! If you have ever visited a real casino then you know how crowded the property can get. With online poker there is no long waiting periods for tables to open. Additionally, you can take part in “multi tabling” and play several games at once. Some experienced online players can handle up to 10 or more games at the same time. Don’t try this in Vegas unless you’ve mastered human cloning.

Online poker gives you real gambling action and real money but in a life simulation that’s just a little bit better than reality.
