Have you ever wondered why is it that playing poker online has become so popular these days?

The reason for such a big popularity of online poker may be hidding itself in the advantages that playing poker online has in comparison to playing live poker. There are many advantages of playing poker online when compared to live poker, so we are going to point out just some of them:

You get to choose the time to play online poker

All online poker rooms are accessible 24/7 so you can play online poker anytime you wish. You simply log into your favorite online poker room and start playing, no need to drive yourself to the nearest live poker room, which may be miles away.

You get to play more hands per hour at online poker

Playing poker online is much faster than playing poker live. Besides that, you are also allowed to play more than one poker table at once.

There are people that I know of on Full Tilt Poker that play 16 tables at once, but the vast majority of poker players play somewhere from 2 to 4 tables at a time. Playing online poker at more then one table at once is called multitabling.

It is easier to find good games when playing poker online

The biggest online poker rooms are always full of poker players, for instance Full Tilt Poker has over 90 000 players logged in during their peak hours, PokerStars even more.

Therefore you never have to worry about finding a good poker games for yourself when playing poker online.

You can track your winnings and losses easily at online poker

There are variety of poker tools available out there, which automatically save all the hands you played into a database and let you replay them, therefore enabling you to work on your game and find potencial leaks. Some of these poker tools even provide you with heads up information about how your opponents play poker, such as Poker Edge Software.

These are just some of the advantages of playing poker online. If you think of any other advantages for playing poker online instead of live, feel free to leave it in comments!
