Why I don't recommend playing online?


Here are the 5 reasons, why I think online poker is bad.

1 reason. Bad time for game.

Online tournaments are U.S. Eastern Time (EST - Eastern Standard Time), and if you don't live in the U.S , this time is very bad ! Most of the tournaments will start late in the Sunday evening , and if your unlucky it will end only in Monday morning , when you will need to go to your work or school , without any sleep .


2 reason. There are no faces, no communication.

You forget that you are playing with real people . You can't talk to anyone , and from my experience a lot of people like to trash talk , and then players fold with the best hand . If you are going to play online , stay there! If you will go to real poker game or casino , a good bluffer will take all your money , and you will go home crying.

3 reason. You don't know who your playing against .

There is nothing worse than to find out that you lost to a new poker player or a child , who has got his account from his older brother or this father . You never know where children play. Their illogical moves unfix and certainly does not win. This is one of the worst things about internet poker , especially when playing under 18 is illegal ...

4 reason. You can loose all of your money , without any reason .

Imagine that you receive a letter saying that you cheated and your account has been frozen. Then begins the suffering of a few demonstrating that you're not a cheat. In most cases it appears that the leg tuck your friends who got involved in anti-competitive gaming and money laundering schemes. If you can not prove that you're not cheat, unfortunately, you wont get your money back . You say it's illegal? .. But registering an account, you carefully read the registration conditions where you have found , that cheating is not allowed ? .. Unfortunately, very rarely we read it and it cost us money.

5 reason why. You don't fell the real game!

By playing online, we don't need to shuffle cards , lift dealer button or to calculate slit pot or etc. Program does all of this for us. We only press buttons CHECK / CALL / FOLD / RAISE .

Also playing online has its pluses to ! I will post them here in the early future ! Stay with me ;)
