There are many reasons people play poker online, one of the more common reasons used to be because they could not find a game locally and didn't know anyone who played poker. Now the only reason to play online is because you choose to, not because you have to.

Poker has arrived again. It is everywhere. The UK, America and overseas from grandmothers to college students. Everyone plays poker and they play online because they love it.

Most people are finding it is much easier to learn the games you're interested in learning by playing online also. There's no pressure, it's relaxing and exciting at the same time and best of all, you play in your pyjamas and nobody will notice!

If you are just starting out in the game consider these reasons to start your poker game from home:

1. You will always be able to find a game which suits your time schedule.

2. You can learn how to play without any 'lessons' just by watching the game online and reading everything you can, when you're ready you can jump in.

3. You can make all of the mistakes that are commonly 'new player' mistakes and no one will put the 'mistake' with the face.

4. You can play for free without investing a penny in the practice rooms.

5. Your first tournament can be in the form of free tournaments with freerolls.

6. You can learn the lingo so when you sit down 'live ?Cand ?Cin-person' you don't look, act , and play like a complete novice.

7. You can learn what works for you and what doesn't.
