 At any given time on any given day,
there are substantially more poker players enjoying the game online than in
“brick and mortar” card rooms all over the world. There are
many good reasons why: For starters, it is convenient to play major online tournaments while sitting in the comfort of your own
home. And it won’t necessarily cost you an arm and a leg to enter the “big time events” either because very inexpensive satellites
(some as low as $2) are running constantly for the major events.
If tournaments aren’t your thing, there are a myriad of cash game stakes available as well to accommodate your poker bankroll, large
or small. After all, it doesn’t cost an online card room any extra to spread a “micro” .10/.25 blinds Hold’em game, which is something
you simply won’t find in your favorite casino (which may also be a three hour drive away from home). And how often does your local
casino offer you a cash “bonus” just for playing at their tables? Many online poker sites offer such incentives on a regular basis, to
new and existing players.
Another genre of play attributed to online poker is the now ubiquitous “Sit and Go”. These quick one-to-five table tournaments (lasting
less than a couple of hours) can serve as a less threatening introduction to large tournament play for beginners, and can be played for
as little as one dollar! Two hours still too long to invest? How about a “Turbo” event to lessen your time investment even further? Play
3 tables at once; play a cash game and a tournament at the same time; or play at two different sites simultaneously!
You get the idea: There are countless (and ever-growing) options and advantages available in online poker that just are not practical, nor
available, in casino poker. Check out these summaries to get a quick overview of these very popular online poker rooms to help get a head
start in choosing the right site for you.
