Online or not Online... that is the question

When to Play Online Poker vs. Land Based Poker

There comes a point in a player’s career when they have to decide what game they like to play the best and then work hard to develop the skills needed to become the best that they can at that particular game. Due to the online gaming revolution, however, the player must now make the distinction between playing the game in an actual casino or playing in an online casino in an online format.

Once a player decides that Poker is their game, and this is a very good decision to come to, a player must then choose between online Poker vs. land based Poker. Both online Poker and land based Poker have their strengths and weakness. Let’s examine both for a minute.

When considering online Poker vs. land based Poker a player must take into account that online Poker is very easily accessible, needs very little capital (if any ) to play, and needs absolutely no set up time. Online Poker is very convenient for the beginning player because the rules are built into the gaming program and it allows the player to learn without any fear of breaking the rules, or learning incorrectly.

The next item to keep in mind when trying to decide between online Poker vs. land based Poker is that land based Poker has its strengths as well. These include the ability to actually feel and hold the cards, play with real players in an actual casino environment, and it also affords the beginner the opportunity to intimately learn the rules because the game demands it. These are just a few considerations when examining online Poker vs. land based Poker. Whatever the decision, it will be the right one.
