With poker online real money still talks

T here may be some differences between playing poker online and in real life but one similarity remains with both real poker and poker online, real money still remains the point of the exercise. The caveat here of course is that this does not include poker played at leisure or for purposes other than making money. Nonetheless, even in the money-less poker playing realm there are other forms of investments that players stand to lose, like pride, dignity and the like all of which make for the requisite for gambling. And that is essentially at the center of gambling, the risk incurred with the possibility that one may win it all or lose a lot. And there is no higher incentive than money for people to risk their limited resources for the chance that they might win the money on offer. But unlike other gambling games poker tilts the odds of winning considerably towards the players since there are few players at a time and the players are not up against the invisible but all powerful ‘house’. Add to that one need only know the basics of the game to stand a chance of winning since poker, both online and in real life depends more on one’s ability to read the other contenders than mastering the rules. So with all these elements, it’s no wonder gamblers take their chances at making money with poker, it’s simply a better bet than other gambling games. Which is why, for real life poker and poker online alike, real money will always be central to the game.
