- It allows YOU to play when YOU want toYou can play when it is convenient for YOU (after work, in the morning, at night, in the middle of the night, after the kids go to bed, whenever).
Games are available all day and all night 24/7.
You are playing against opponents from around the world, so there are always a large number of players to compete with. - YOU don't have to travel to a poker room The games are right there on your computer.
This is really helpful if you live any distance from a poker room.
Especially with the price of gas now, this can save YOU an awful lot of money. - YOU have a much larger selection of gamesOnline poker offers you many different games such as Hold'em, Stud, and Omaha.
Unlike a brick and mortar (B&M) room you don't have to wait that long, if at all, to find a table to play at. - YOU can play at much lower limits (even micro limits)The limits at most online poker rooms are much lower than at B&M rooms.
This allows you to have a much smaller bankroll to start with.
In fact the minimum buy in for a B&M room can be a reasonable starting bankroll for a new player at an online poker room. - More tournaments are availableThere are far more tournaments available at the online poker rooms than there are at B&M rooms.
The buy ins are a lot less and there are more players.
Online rooms also offer sit & go tournaments, that are not available at a B&M room.
Another type of tournamentthat online poker rooms offer is the "Freeroll", which allows YOU to play for prize pools without investing any money. - YOU can leave when YOU want toWith no consideration for the drive home or for the time it took you to get to the poker room, YOU can leave when YOU want to.

Just download their software and open your account. - It is less intimidating for new playersIf you are a new player, you would be at a loss to know all the poker etiquette required at a B&M room.
In online poker this is not a problem as the rules are all posted and many of the things that you need to remember are done for you automatically.
Such as posting your blinds, knowing when it is your turn to bet, not letting you bet out of turn, etc. - ManagingYOUR bankroll is easierAs the amount of money that you have on account in a room is always available, you can see if you are winning or losing and can decide what limits YOU want to play at.
- YOU have a huge selection of card roomsThere are literally hundreds of card rooms online and the selection is very large.
You can find rooms that are pleasant for YOU to play at, or more profitable, or that offer the games YOU want. - Table selection is much easier than at a B&M roomIn a B&M room you go in and put your name on a list and take the first seat that comes up.
This is not the case in an online room.
In an online room YOU can pick your table by the percentage of players seeing the flop, average pot, number of hands dealt per hour or many other criteria.
And then you can go watchthe play at the table before you sit in. - Calculating YOUR pot odds is easierAs the amount of money in the pot is always posted, it is quite simple to calculate the odds that the pot is offering on any one bet.
- Play on more than one table/room at a timeOnline poker allows you to play at one or more table(s), simultaneously.
Or you can play at several different rooms/sites at the same time. - Ease of taking notes on different playersMost online rooms give you the ability to make notes on your opponents, that will show up every time you play them.
