No live games near me. It's quick and easy. I can jump into a tournament when I have any free time.
 
What better than playing from the comfort of your home? ... More in times of quarantine that are being lived!

It so hard to gather the player. My poker chip is left in storage room collecting dust.
 
I play because it proves you with a diverse player pool, and there is always a game whenever you want to play. It's great!
 
This is very convenient, since you can play from anywhere in the world and at a convenient time for yourself, the selection of tournaments is much more online than offline, and another big plus is that the opponent does not see your emotions, which is very suitable for beginners and people who it's hard to hide them.
 
Interesting thread. I play because it is illegal for me to play live in Norway.
 
Some of the Biggest stars in the poker world play on-line poker, names like Daniel Negreanu, Shaun Deeb, and many others, Admittedly you will never find them in a free-roll but they are there in big events like the "Stadium Series" and WCOOP tournaments.
Also the main reason I have gone back to on-line poker games is the Covid19 outbreak closed all the Pubs and clubs I played in on a weekly basis.
I certainly miss the crack at the tables, but I will not feel safe until they find a vaccine for this terrible Virus.
 
Because I can play multiple tables at the same time. And the comfort of playing at home.
 
Online is easier to access, more comfortable you can play from home at any free time. It's even free and there are schools to learn while you play. I would like to participate in live poker, but it is very expensive, it could also be with friends, I do not have friends who like poker.
 
It’s totally a convenience thing. Can play anytime, anywhere. No need to go out & can play while doing other stuff. Live poker is better but online is just easier
 
On-line Poker

On-line poker is easy for most of us, you can play in the comfort of your home. Many years ago I played in Saturday night games with friends and it was really fun. On-line you might know some people by there name but do not know them personally. I always turn off my chat as to not be distracted. Also I live in Germany and their are no casinos near by so my choice is limited. For me I am fine playing on-line anytime of the day or evening. Capo1014
 
Playing poker online has benefits such as playing comfortably from home, since it will not be necessary to go to a casino and avoid travel expenses. Also, online poker offers you tickets at low cost or in some cases free, which are beneficial for players starting the game. Another feature is that you can play at any time and there are also a variety of poker rooms that offer promotions.😀
 
Hello. I love to play online. I live in a rural area, 2 hours from the nearest casino.
 
No where close for me to play live. I played one home game, won that one. They didn't ask me back. lol
 
Basically, I play poker because I love it. I play online because it's convenient. To ofline the game, you have to drive about 75 km, only in this territory casinos legally operate. If I'm not mistaken somewhere in 2000, casinos were banned everywhere except for a certain territory.
 
First of all, poker is a game accessible to almost everyone. Many people, not understanding all the little things, want easy money and go to play poker.

Hello, I'm a new online poker player. I play online poker because it is convenient and you don't need to go to a casino. Eu posso jogar na minha cama, which is the best thing for me. So I wonder why you play online poker?
I enjoy playing online for practicality, I don't need to leave home, I don't face traffic and have no other expenses that I would be playing live.
 
I like playing poker but I don’t love playing poker. Online is good for me since I can play when I want to and not when I don’t. Going to a casino is a bigger commitment than I want to make if I’m only going to play for an hour.
 
For me, it's pure convenience, I don't have to leave the house, I can play several tournaments at the same time, choose the buy-in, I can eat, drink juice, talk to a family member, answer the phone, etc.
 
I like it because there is no place local to play poker live back in the woods.
