Is playing poker online better than offline?

[iv4n]

So I imagine, and often play poker online, I am very happy if I get a good card and I can't hide it well so just go all in all my chips.

If you bet all in every time you get some nice cards you are easy to read. It's foolish to talk about what can happen on the poker table without knowing many factors (number of players, their bankrolls, type of the game, etc), but generally going all in with good cards can easily backfire on you. Poker requires patience, watching other players, and whenever you have good cards to try to get them into play...

I'm more into online poker, but I have been playing very rarely in the past years. Somehow crypto poker places don't catch my interest... I guess I will be more active when some interesting poker places come up.

I play a lot on Pokerstar poker app on playstar and I encounter a lot of players that always playing all-in whether good or bad cards because they are relying solely on the flop, turn and river card to be in their way. They have nothing to lose since chips in there are cheap and free. They can always buy in when they bust.

This is what I hate in online poker because players are unpredictable. After all, they always think that they can always play again using their reserve money. I still don't play on real online poker tables but my experience with free poker games makes me discouraged from playing with real money.

People like you, I presume a predictable one because you can't hold your emotions when you have good cards.

Yes, this is the problem when I am playing poker offline, I can't hide my emotion when have a good card, my face will definitely light up and my opponent will know that I have good cards. And, Of course it will be different if I am play online, no body know my gesture, and indirectly I can acting like I don't have a good card. But, is there any casino where we playing poker with videos like zoom, or meeting?, if there were, this would be very interesting because even playing online and don't meet with another playing, we can know their face like playing ofline poker.

I think it just entirely depends on your situation.  Some people like to play poker online that way they can be playing multiple games at once.  Personally I think playing poker in person is far more fun and more legitimate.  It's really hard to do things such as bluffing when you're playing online.

Either way for me, poker is hands down the best game Casino wise, so I like to play online as well as in person.

[pinggoki]

Just don't react to it, best thing to do is to play poker and learn how to control your emotions, you can hide your anger when something makes you angry right? Use that method to hide what you're feeling in that hand that you've been dealt with, it's not easy but it takes practice, you can also do a more advance thing but since you're an emotional person, you can probably do it much better, using that emotion to bluff and deceive your opponents, be boisterous and loud that it annoys the players which can most of the time throw them off their game if you've done a good job being a crazy guy on the poker table, you can watch how Daniel Negreanu play in high stakes table, dude really pisses off good poker players with his antics and his crazy predictions, some even give up their poker face when he hits the right cards of his opponents. I think that offline is a more socially energizing way to play poker than an online one, I think there's no debate in here, if you can talk while playing poker, that's the much better thing to do.

You are still telling a story with how you bet. If you are pushing all in everytime you play a hand, you're not normally going to win that many chips. Like I said before, read up on some strategy and join the 2+2 forum. They have tons of information available to potential players.

I often watch poker videos on YouTube where the player have very good acting to hiding his cards through his flat face. I have seen them being able to win with very bad cards on their hand with a good bluff, all in his chips. So I imagine, and often play poker online, I am very happy if I get a good card and I can't hide it well so just go all in all my chips. So what do you think?, how do other players know when I have good cards when playing online?, Is by check and don't call the bet they know we don't have a good card?, I'm not good at hiding it, sometime when I have double AS, I always all in at the beginning.

In offline poker, you can try to fool other opponents with your act, expressions, or others but on the other side your opponent may read it eventually. What you need to do when playing poker in both offline and online is that you should not play with fixed pattern because your opponents will be able to read it easily. Which one is better between offline and online? It depends on your preferences, some players prefer to play offline because the experience is real by playing face to face with others while some others prefer to play online because of their own reasons.

[UchihaSarada]

Playing Poker online, you cannot predict your opponent's emotions. I think this is the most important thing for you to win in this game. If you cannot grasp the opponent's psychology and how they react when betting, it will be difficult for you to make your decision. Poker is an emotional game, if we play online, we will not be able to get this feeling, losing the fun of the game. Therefore, I often prioritize playing offline poker rather than playing online. If playing online, you should choose to play via webcam, it will be less boring.

[Cryptoprincess101]

Whether online or offline is is based on choice as some people may prefer playing online while others will choose playing online but to me I would prefer online poker because it is very transparent without any manipulation but for offline poker I feel there is always partiality and manipulation which doesn't make the game funful, so the reason for playing a game is just for fun and not for timid feelings

[Chato1977]

if you are a poker player of both then surely you will choose Offline because the feeling and the excitement is there reading each opponent about their behavior an reactions but if you wanted to be fooled by online operators then you will be forever in that positions.
personally I hate online gambling because we cannot see our opponents faces to read whats on their mind.

I think both online and offline gambling is fun and one cannot deny that there are a lot of people who prefer online gambling over offline gambling and the same goes for Poker too. If all depends upon one interest.

Also sometimes we have no one around us to whom we can take ourselves to play physical poker and sometimes you won't find time to visit a poker club to pay with an unknown individual. In these cases. Online poker comes in handy when you can enjoy it online and use the chat feature on the sites that enable you to chat with the opponent, though still, his face won't be visible.

[michellee]

There is no way for another player to know his opponent's cards unless his opponent shows them to the other players. If you want to learn bluffing, you can play poker offline. You can see the player's expressions, trying to be calm as if they had bad cards.

You must be able to bluff your opponent, especially if you don't have good cards. This makes it difficult for them to guess the cards you have. But if you play poker online, you won't know the facial expressions of each player.

Playing offline poker provides a more stressful and enjoyable experience than online poker. That's because we can see the expressions of each player. We can also learn to act to outwit other players.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

As with all such questions, it is relative, there is no one thing that is objectively 'better' than another. I personally prefer to play online, and I would say that in general there is a tendency nowadays as in everything else, that people prefer online versions of activities that can be done in person. There is more and more online banking and less and less people going in person to a bank branch, or people watching movies online at home instead of going to the cinema. Well, this is the same, although it depends on personal preferences and there will be those who prefer to go to the casino in person.

[agustina2]

So what do you think?, how do other players know when I have good cards when playing online?

Depends on your call.

Since you are up against experienced online players, they are somehow used to determining what's on the mind of their opponent. But remember that it's about only their instinct and if you eat the bait, they will assume things that are currently on your mind. Anyway, just keep up with the others as possible as you can while playing online, and don't mind how they will know your next move. Instead, think of how will you determine their next move. Counter them with your strategy.

Online players can find out that you have good cards by analyzing the patterns in your game. Going all in at the beginning, when you have good cards is a mistake, because the other players will come to the conclusion that you have good cards. Luck is always a big factor in poker and sometimes your bluffs can win, but this won't be consistent. Poker is about analyzing the opponents game, risk management, luck and trying to trick your opponents into thinking that you have weak cards, while raising the stakes.
I prefer online poker because I'm not the most social and extroverted person. I don't know how good I am at having a "poker face".
Why do you try both offline and online poker and then decide which one is better for you.

one of the old games that I really like and to this day I still play it to entertain myself and get a little profit.
online poker games are a little different from offline poker and of course everyone here knows the difference. When playing offline poker, we can tell from movements or worried faces that we usually have bad cards, but in online poker we can't see which players really have good cards or have bad card.
all of this is really just about your strategy or skill on how to keep getting small profits from bad cards.
and in my opinion, if you go all in when you have a double AS, you are actually giving a signal to other players that your cards are so good that all your opponents will choose to fold.

I will tell you a little strategy that I often use but you don't need to because each table usually has different opponents and the situation will also be different.
usually I am more patient when playing online poker looking at the playing patterns of other gamblers and when I already know the playing patterns I start to use a strategy to call small amounts even though I only have one pair of cards in my hand and when several other gamblers start to call, I will call again in slightly large amounts just to bluff other players.
I only do it a few times each round and when I get a really good card I will do the same thing call small amounts and continuing to call increases every round and go all in.

It's a little difficult to explain what strategy each person uses because actually it's about each person's skill, even though you will try several strategies from other people, but if you don't understand the patterns of other players it certainly won't work well.
you just need to look at the playing styles of other gamblers so that you can take advantage of them in certain situations.

I'm not good at hiding it, sometime when I have double AS, I always all in at the beginning.

You don't need to practice hiding if you are not comfortable with it. On the other hand, you also don't need to practice knowing what's their card per round. Focus on your own way to come out a winner every round. In every round, you will encounter lots of strategies that your opponent can use against you, take note of those and use them on your own if you think that's applicable.

It's better to play poker online, against real players, than offline playing against a programmed opponent. You can maximize your skills if you are up against a real human and the pressure is there if you play online whereas offline, you will just feel comfortable and relaxed.

[famososMuertos]

The adaptation to playing online or in person is progressive, but after you get used to it it is a matter of focus.

Playing live poker tournaments may not be as exciting as you see on television, sometimes even hours go by when you have some action and play an interesting hand.

On the other hand, online you can play many more hands per hour and have more entertainment.

Taking that into account, answering which is better depends on each individual on how to approach the game, in any case there are better chances of winning as an online player than in person, and the reason is that the volume of play per hour is greater.

You have to be really, really good to be a winner in face-to-face poker, at least when it comes to poker tournaments.

People who don't know the game well ask very general questions in reference to poker, like yours, and the reality is that each part of the game can be extended in its complexity.

Even though i might be better reading players online, not seeing their faces and it's just based on their tactic, agressivity, when they fold and when they bluff. I would still choose offline if it was easy enough and i wouldn't need to travel much.

I am not best of reading some micro expressions or even determining if someone is lying just by reasing facial expressions. Facial expressions could even distract me, but it's a social game and it's socially interesting to study how people act when they play it. Also i am failry sure that i can bluff pretty well these days, when i am not drinking while playing. And i believe i could just focus on the game in similar way i could do it in online and practice trying to affect their mood to make hasty decisions.

And also poker is way more then gambling to me. Tournaments take so much time that real life human connection element would make matches more appealing to me. In best case my friends will be playing too and we can team up to play out people from the table and reduce competition.

Why do you try both offline and online poker and then decide which one is better for you.

It all comes to reference since not all would really be having that kind of impressions when it comes to things and just like you have said that you arent that comfortable on facing up other people or simply having some issues about socialism then it would really be just that not shocking that you would be choosing up online rather than on offline, but ill tell you honestly that when it comes to poker or other card games then i do prefer on having some offline set up on which you could really be able to make out that kind of social interaction on which you could be able to see those gestures and behaviors in regarding with other gamblers you do have in the table but of course you should really know on how to read them up.

Poker is really that relying on skills and luck of course on which it is really something that you would really be needing up to consider on the time that you do play on out.
When it comes to choices then it would really be that depending on you entirely.
