Key differences between online poker and offline poker

In This Page:

If you have played in poker room games online and offline then you already know that there are vast differences in the way that you play the game. There are positive and negative aspects for both online and offline poker room games. A number of people play both online and offline. Let us look at some of the key differences in the two methods of playing.

The time factor is a major difference in online and offline poker room games. Playing in an online game can move very quickly. One reason that the online poker game moves so much quicker is that the computer and the poker sites are dealing the cards for you instead of a human. A human dealer takes time to collect the cards, shuffle, etc. which takes up time. Poker room games online also auto post the big and small blinds for the player most of the time. In a Texas holdem poker room or an Omaha poker room you are usually given a choice to have the computer automatically post the blinds or not. In my experience of playing in online poker room games, I have noticed that people are more apt to click an automated button so that when it is their turn to act it will happen automatically. These buttons include a check button, a fold button, and often a check/fold option button. There is almost always a time limit for the player to make a decision when playing in online poker room games. This eliminates a player from taking all day to decide whether or not to call that all in bet that was made.

The time it takes to play in offline poker room games can be exhausting. People leave the table for breaks, take a long time to decide whether or not to call a bet, forget to post the blinds, and carry on conversations that distract them from the poker room games. In an Omaha poker room, offline people may take a long time to examine the hand possibilities before making a move.

The next major factor that differentiates online poker room games from offline poker room games is the bluffing. When playing in online poker room games, people will still bluff, but in a different way. The difference is that you cannot see the persons face and body language like you can in offline poker room games to see if they are nervous or acting differently. This can be a big disadvantage for those of you who are good at reading people in poker room games. This is an advantage for those of you who have a terrible poker face. In a Texas holdem poker room or an Omaha poker room bluffing is a major part of the game. The only way to bluff in the online poker room games is to increase your bet or go all in. To see if your opponent is bluffing in the poker room games while online you must watch his or her betting patterns, although this is not always a reliable method.

Online poker room games also keep you from putting your opponent on “tilt” a lot of the time since online poker room games often offer the option to ignore the chat in the room. When playing poker room games in person it is sometimes easy for you to see people go on tilt. You can tell by a person’s behavior if he or she has given up on winning the poker room games or if he or she is betting out of frustration. Not being able to see this hurts your chances of winning. The reverse is also true though; other players cannot see your frustration with the cards you are being dealt.

Have you ever played in a Texas holdem poker room or an Omaha poker room with people who continually forget the denomination of the chips? I have and I know that playing in online poker room games this is not an issue since you only have to type in the amount you wish to bet or raise. Playing winning poker in an Omaha poker room or a Texas holdem poker room requires a certain amount of skill. When playing in online or offline poker room games you still need the skill and the luck in order to win.

Some people wonder about the cards and the odds when playing in an online or an offline Omaha poker room. The odds of getting a certain hand are the same whether you are playing online or offline. The software that is set up to run an online Texas holdem poker room and an Omaha poker room has been programmed with the odds of getting a certain hand and the software distributes the cards randomly. Some people say that it seems you can make more hands when playing online poker and I think that the reason people say this is because people are more apt to stay in a hand when playing online. If you are playing in a Texas holdem poker room or an Omaha poker room online you may be playing with play money and therefore stay in hands that you normally wouldn’t. This creates the illusion that people catch more hands when playing in poker room games online.

I know many people who like to play in a Texas holdem poker room or an Omaha poker room, both online and offline, and they seem to improve their poker skills at a faster rate than people who only play in one or the other. Playing in online poker room games helps you to learn the likelihood of getting a certain hand. Conversely, playing in a Texas holdem poker room or an Omaha poker room offline helps you to learn people’s behaviors while playing poker games. Experience is a key factor in playing winning poker. Playing Internet poker helps you to garner that all-important experience much more quickly than playing offline poker only.

"With no actual risk of loss, no understanding of reward comes and, thus, no actual lesson on how the game should best be played." This line is the crux of James Abel's article which warns against playing free poker for the wrong reasons.

An advantage with practice
I can see why some people who play both have an advantage. I think you have to play both for a while before you can boast an advantage though. The first time I played poker in a casino poker room, I was surprised by how intimidated I was. I had been looking forward to the chance to sit down in a live game for weeks. I won a little over $100 on a slot machine and decided to take my winnings to the poker room at Palace Station. The attendant was very nice and explained how much, where, when, et

Such different games
This is an important article because it drives home a very valid point. There really is no comparison between online poker and live cardroom play. The only similarity is the rules of the game (and the chip values, I suppose). Your article makes good points about the physical and mental differences in play.

personal take
I began playing in casinos and moved to online. When I came back to a casino after a substantial time playing online, I must admit I was thrown by how different it was. Personally I found the 'reading' skills I acquired on the net only managed to confuse me. It took a while of 'real play' to manage to combine the live and online skills.
