Advantages of Online Poker

Online poker offers a more flexible time commitment than live games. A player can log on, play 10 hands and then log off within five minutes or less. The game is primarily No Limit Texas Hold’em but players can often find Omaha, Seven Card Stud and Crazy Pineapple tournaments as well.

Online players have access to a vast range of stats that provide intimate insights into the game. As a result, the game has become increasingly analytical and studious. A constant dialectic takes place on forums, as thinking players fight to develop optimal lines of play.

The largest poker sites offer a large player pool that provides opportunities for players of all skill levels to compete against softer opponents. This allows beginners to learn the game, and more experienced players can challenge themselves at higher stakes. The top poker sites also feature regular tournaments with massive prize pools.

Whether you’re looking to play at a desktop or mobile device, the best online poker sites have you covered. Most sites allow players to fund their accounts via a credit or debit card, prepaid voucher or one of the many web wallets available.

When regulated online poker came back in the United States, it was state-by-state. The potential for multi-state poker is now on the horizon with New Jersey joining Nevada and Delaware to form a three-state pool. The prospect of a larger player pool is very exciting, and it should lead to more tournaments with bigger prizes.
