Convenience Of Online Poker

You can play any time of day
Online poker rooms are 24 hours a day operations. If there are players, there are games. Once an
online poker room reaches a certain critical mass, they will likely have games at all times of day
at all limits. Not every site has this feature as they are not all that successful, but there are a few
sites that have achieved this critical mass. This means players can play any time of day they feel
like. This is great for many people, including morning people, people who work at night and can
only play during the day and people who are nightowls that play in the wee hours of the morning

You can play for a very short time if you prefer
If you make the effort to go to the local poker room, you probably feel you should stay there for while. Nobody likes to drive half an hour just to play a couple of minutes and then drive another
half an hour to get home. This is different with online poker. You could play one round which
may take as little as one minute, you could play for five minutes and decide to leave. This is a
great option for all players, although it does make for a relatively high turnover of players at the online game compared to the brick and mortar game.

There are easier ways to analyze your own play online
Most of the online poker sites have an option where you can see your hand histories. This makes for analyzing your own play much easier than in a brick and mortar casino, where the only way to track your own play is to actually write every single hand down, this is simply not practical for most people, not to mention the tremendous effort it would take. Recently several people have developed software to help players analyze their game.
