Old School vs. New SchoolSome Poker players say that they find
online poker just not the same experience as home games or playing in a
casino. Indeed online Poker is different in many ways from the traditional
game of Poker. Internet Poker is a whole new variation of the game.
The main obvious difference is that you are not sitting right across
from your opponents, removing any and all ability to watch your opponents'
reactions and body language. The new world of playing Poker online brings
a new form of Internet Poker tells in which one watches and analyzes the
speed at which an opponent bets. You don't have to see a player in person
to identify a tell. As with traditional Poker, the concept is still the
same - get to know your opponent's playing style and habits, because every
action your opponent makes could potentially give you information on what
kind of cards they are holding.
Although some players will still prefer to play their weekly home game,
the past few years have seen a tremendous jump in the number of online
Poker players - millions of people worldwide now participate in online
Poker games and tournaments. The software and graphics are also becoming
more and more sophisticated. With the popularity of Internet Poker growing
each day, the new face of Poker is here to stay.
