When choosing what type of poker to play you should also look at whether you want to play in a conventional poker room or over the internet. Lets look at some differences between these two poker types.
Online poker variants are quicker than brick and mortar types as online casinos don’t have to worry about delays as well as collecting, shuffling, and dealing every hand of cards. Online casino poker have instant dealing and shuffling and no chip-counting delays. This means you can play up to three times more hands per hour online than you can at your local poker room.
You will not be able to ‘read’ other players online but the upside on this (especially if you are still working on your poker face) is that they can’t read you. Online poker players that want to know what their competitors are up to have to study their reaction time, betting patterns, use of features, chat box, fold percentages, beginners' tells, etc.
Online poker rooms are a bit more beginner friendly as they offer poker schools, free games, and lower table limits. Beginners can also learn from studying online features such as their history of played hands, and they can chat with and learn from other more experienced poker players.
