Is Online Poker Less Fair? - Helpful Info

By Robin S. Dunkelberger


Anyone who's played online poker has no doubt experience this situation. Someone has a great hand and someone else plays seemingly stupidly yet ends up winning against all odds. Whenever that happens there will likely be a lot of rude banter going on in the chat window with people whining that the game must be fixed and that that would never happen in a real live poker game.

Is cheating really exists in online poker? Are there instances where it is played too far from the real poker game? Is this really the reason behind the great loss of money for those unlucky players every time they play? Maybe, but then, the fact that they are losing because of being not good enough in the game that they gambled to would always be one of the reasons that is hard to accept.

Since online poker is just a poker game done in the internet where the players log on to their computers to participate in the game, moves and rules done in the game are also the same. Though one is done in the real world and the other on the virtual world, nothing changes the fact that both deals with poker and they will follow the same guidelines that are needed in the game.

There are reasons though as to why there seem to be more bad beats when playing online. The big one is that there are more hands being played. The rate of play in an online poker room is usually double that of a game in the brick and mortar world. A lot of the time it's even more than that. In an hour of online poker you may see more hands than you would have after a few hours in a casino.

For this reason, online poker has greater possibilities for bad beats. Consider a statistic stating that out of ten hands playing, one of these will result to a bad beat. If a casino could have the possibility of one bad beat an hour, having it online could have it doubled or more. This would mean that online poker could even result into two or three bad beats an hour.

Since there is a notable increase in the number of players of online poker that willing to take the chance of winning and losing, opportunities for having bad beats also increases. Others may know the risk well but then still chooses to pursue the game hoping for a big profit and there are others also who have no idea on the risks that that they are taking at all. But because playing on casinos is more pressuring than just playing it online, online poker is still preferred by many.

The other reason there are more risks being taken online is because many players are spending their time in the less expensive poker rooms. That means taking a dumb chance isn't nearly as costly as it may be when sitting in a casino or at a friend's table.

Many will easily believe that dirty tricks are present in online poker for the simple reason that it is done online. The people and cards that are involved in the game are only in the computer monitor. Compared to the real game where real people and real cards are dealt in front of their two eyes, online poker is less unrealistic.

You can never totally wipe cheating that is happening online out of everybody's mind since it has already been widely known. But then, the above reasons are also always possible so it will be a wise choice to consider it first before complaining much.
