Online poker is a favourite pastime of many of our readers. You love the ability to log on and play in moments. The convenience and availability of games are unprecedented. You can play at 1 am or 1 pm and you know there’s games available but have you considered playing in a casino? There have been hundreds of stories of online players who transition to casinos and generate better results. That’s why in this post we’re going to share a couple of reasons why poker in a live casino might be better than online.
Seeing your opponent
A big part of poker is reading your opponents. You can do this with tells at an online casino Malaysia but you can’t physically see their face. In a real casino though you can see everything. Ok, some people try to hide eye movements with glasses and put their hood up but not all. Being able to see your opponent close up can be a huge advantage for a strong poker player.
Softer competition
It’s widely accepted that casino cardrooms are notoriously fishy. If you avoid the few regulars who grind, there are plenty of weak players around. Live play is notoriously soft competition. I suspect this is due to the fact it’s slower-paced thus people get impatient. This means you can pick up lots of money with a solid and aggressive strategy.
More fun
Finally, playing “real” poker is more pleasurable than online. Playing on a computer is more monotonous and less enjoyable in my opinion. Poker is a people game and you lack the social aspect when facing opponents online. Playing in a casino has a better ambiance and atmosphere when playing poker.
