I play online poker becouse its my hobby and i feel relaxed and happy when i have open 4 tables of nice tournaments.
Online poker gives you the chance to play much more.... I know a lot of people who play more than 6 screen at a time just to make better chances to win. And also know some guys that play online cuz then they don't have to face people's face on live poker... Wich honestly can be really terrifying sometimes LoL
It's so convinient....
Whenever i feel like playing poker i can just log-in and play.
No need to dress up for a casino and spend a bunch of time
getting there and back. No need to synchronize 8 peoples schedules
to make room for a home game...
And the mictakes make it affordable for a lot more people.
A reasonable bankroll for live poker is probably more than most
people are willing to invest when they start getting interested in poker,
so i think that online poker is good for the growth of poker

People play for many many different reasons.
I personally play for the love of the game, I’ve played for years and years.
Some people play for money knowing it can be reasonable income.
Some people on the dark face of it will play out of addiction, sadly it’s part of it.
Hopefully everybody plays for the right reasons but it can’t be the case unfortunately

The main reason, of course, is the possibility of easy earnings. Despite the fact that not everyone can get their winnings.
The main advantage for me is availability. You do not need to go to a special gambling zone or another country. And there is no need to wait for the game to start. Sometimes you can sit in line for a table for hours. Even in an offline casino, the room often cannot accommodate everyone. There are no such problems in online poker. And of course, in online poker, you can play at several tables at once — the probability of winning increases. Just such a game allows you to earn: you create a turnover and get more profit.

There are a few perks to online poker.
One thing is you don't have to tip a dealer whenever you rake in a pot. The vigorish, amount you pay to play the game or the amount the casino rakes in from every pot, is usually lower. Giving a dealer $10 or $20 every time you rake in a couple hundred dollar pot takes its toll. This all adds to your pocketbook.
There is more of a variety of games in online poker, i.e. standard games, double-up, triple-up, standard speed, fast, turbo, hyper turbo, etc...
There is more of a range online. You can play anything from a $.25 micro game to games with several hundreds of dollars for the buy-ins.
If you're good at it, you can play multiple games at once, something you can't do in a casino. I've heard of pros playing up to 16 games at once, several hours a day every day, and making hundreds of thousands of dollars doing it.
You seldom find a freeroll at the casinos. Buy-in tournaments, yes. Also tournaments you must qualify for, such as registering ten full houses or better within a week's time, yes.
You can play in the convenience and comfort of your own home, just about anytime day or night.
I do miss the pretty female dealers at the casinos, though.
May the Poker Gods favor your journey, wherever you decide to play.

Right
It´s the reason to play online poker.
I think that it´s risky to go to casinos due to COVID-19, reciving smoke, loosing time, costs to go to casinos, and more. I think that the advantage to go to casinos is to see cute dealers. But it doesn´t make money.

I stopped playing on-line for a long time but with the Covid19 outbreak it is almost impossible to play live games.
I used to run a game in my local pub and had 3 tables of 8 players every week, and once had 5 tables running in a Bounty hunter special for a Christmas Special last year, we were breaking the law in the fact that you are only supposed to play for a maximum £100 prize pool with a £5.00 buy-in, but even at £5.00 each we broke the £100 prize pool most weeks.
I personally think the Government have no Idea when it comes down to playing in pubs but as long as you are sensible and don't play for stupid amounts with buy-ins over the £5.00 every thing was fine, We never had any fights and as Tournament Director all arguments were settled by me as the lads knew I have had Casino experience playing in many over the years.
Simple things like if a dealer turns 1 card it is not considered as a miss-deal and you carry on as normal giving the player with the upturned card the first burn card off the top of the deck and burn his up turned card.
Also if a pot was chopped and there was an odd amount of chips the remaining chip goes to the player left of the dealer,
Simple little things but important to know if you fancy running a game yourself.
