I often watch poker videos on YouTube where the player have very good acting to hiding his cards through his flat face. I have seen them being able to win with very bad cards on their hand with a good bluff, all in his chips. So I imagine, and often play poker online, I am very happy if I get a good card and I can't hide it well so just go all in all my chips. So what do you think?, how do other players know when I have good cards when playing online?, Is by check and don't call the bet they know we don't have a good card?, I'm not good at hiding it, sometime when I have double AS, I always all in at the beginning.

Playing poker is a lot of fun offline but the fun of playing with everyone is different. But it is better to play online because you hide what you say. It is easy to protect privacy for playing online. Do not face any bad situation and no one will understand. I choose to be online to hide anything.

In as much as different people have their preferences while talking about online and offline poker, the both has their disadvantages as well as their advantages too. In terms of privacy, we can boldly say online casino is a top pick, because there are gamblers that prioritize their anonymity and privacy to every other thing. For such people, the best would be choosing online gambling because it's a lot more easier to protect ones privacy keep their emotions hidden when they're playing online which could be seen as the best option for them.
While privacy is also very much important, there are people who also prioritise the social interaction associated with gambling, because that's where they derive their thrilling experience from, for such persons, using an online casino wouldn't be such a great option for them because there are no interactions when gambling online.
It's just a matter of preferences.

there are no better way to play in offline when we are playing against Human(i call human because in online We don't really sure whom we are playing against lol)

In offline ? we are dealing face to face , act to act and teeth to teeth Wink

seeing the reaction of each opponent can give us chance in finding what is the position cards of our opponents , same us if the opponent is good they can also find yours ,
so indeed its Offline gambling is what I wanted to choose playing.

yes of course, by looking at someone's reactions and emotions we can see what cards they have when playing offline. This will be more difficult if playing online,

Difficult but not impossible, as there are also poker tells. In most cases they have to do with the timing of the bets. A recreational player (or fish) who bets instantly all in or a strong bet has a strong hand, but we have to consider whether he is overvaluing it. Things like that. But obviously it is easier to guess the opponent's hand when playing live.

That's a hard no. You have no idea who is colluding against you when you are online. I was around for the whole full tilt debacle where there was cheating happening where people could see everyone's cards. In person you can get an easier feel for tells too. I'm a player who needs to see people's reactions, I don't just play the cards I play the people too. In person is way better.

yes of course, by looking at someone's reactions and emotions we can see what cards they have when playing offline. This will be more difficult if playing online, by looking at them always raise and bet some chips we have to be careful if they have good cards on their hands, that's possible they only bluff to just scare you, but if we have a strong mentality and retaliate to reraise bet, It's possible that they are also afraid too that we have a good card than them.

I think that's one angle to look at, and if I'm not mistaken, there are casinos that have been accused of colluding or at least you don't know that you are playing against a bot so obviously you will lose the game.

So for me, it's better to play offline, I mean that's where you will get the experience to become a good poker player. In online, you can just hide your face and think that you are good. But in face to face, sitting with someone, it's very different, lot of tension specially if both of you have a good hand and going all-in.

It's definitely going to be a personal thing and can even depend on whether you are doing it for pleasure or trying to make a long term profits. Online play is much faster paced, you can have multiple tables running at any one time and you can reach people on the other side of the world. Playing in person is a whole different picture, you can read "tells" much more easily, it has a much slower pace and you might have more table banter going on. Either way, you're going to find bullies and fish in this game, it's probably easier to leave an online table where you are the weakest player and move along, as opposed to a real world table which can be much more restricting or you might only have one table going in some casinos.

Physical poker is still way better than online poker and I agree with some members here because I played both and I can say I don't feel the same enthusiasm in online poker as I did in physical poker. The fun part is reading the eyes and movements of your opponent especially if there's only two of you left after other opponents folds. If you played both, you will no doubt feel the difference and then what will happen after the game is where it becomes more fun as you become friends with the people you are betting against. Cheesy

While the rules are basically the same, poker online and offline are played in a completely different manner, when you are playing online, the only thing that matter is the math, so if the math tells you that a particular move is the best then you do it without thinking too much about it.

But when you are playing live, you need to take into account many other factors, as if your opponent makes a bet, but when they do so you notice some inconsistency with their bet and the way they are behaving, that could be a sign of deceit, which you can later use to your advantage.

The most important thing here is to correctly read the debater’s messages offline. Sometimes these numbers can be deceiving, so by and large it is better to also play the math so as not to allow yourself to be deceived. Generally speaking, we should rely on this as a last resort and not make it a central priority, which actually helps us win more money. Online, the main thing is to create comfortable conditions for ourselves so that no one disturbs us and we are completely focused on our work. Because if they start to distract us, our EV will definitely fall, even if we get lucky often.

When you mention going all in with strong hands like double aces right off the bat, it’s a classic move but also a double-edged sword. It signals confidence, sure, but to the keen observer, it might also telegraph the strength of your hand more clearly than youd wish. In online poker, every click has a tale to tell. From how quickly you make your bets to the size of those bets, seasoned players are piecing together a narrative about your play style.
Your observation about the importance of a poker face in live poker highlights a crucial skill masking your intentions and feelings. However, online poker strips away many of these physical cues, fundamentally changing how players infer the strength of their opponents hands.

Not that much into poker but I guess if it is between online and offline playing, it will depend on your preference as an individual. Some people want no interaction to other people whenever they are playing because they cannot focus on their decisions while doing it, which is why they'd be better playing online. Some people find it more entertaining to play on landbased casinos due to player interaction. Some tend to read other's facial expressjon limiting 'bluffing' technique. And also, there are people who sometimes prefer a quiet room to do poker but sometimes misses the idea of talking to other people about either loss or profit. If it is convenience on playing then of course online gambling would be at an advantage otherwise it's the opposite set up. Nothing's better in a general perspective I guess; each of the platform has its own pros and cons.

Gambling is something that gives us a lot of pleasure but it is not a good addiction so gambling should always be kept hidden otherwise it can put us in very bad situations at times. And one of the big advantages of online gambling is that it is very easy to keep gambling hidden so I prefer online gambling. Although offline gambling can be much more fun, online gambling is more comfortable for me because it can be easily used anywhere.

I'm old fashioned and I like the atmosphere of a poker room. I like the tension, the sound of cards being shuffled and chips falling on the pile.
Back in the day we did not have chips and used real coins. It was also a lot of fun. When you play online you miss all the fun.
That's not a real poker game without some fun, someone leaving angry, someone leaving drunk... Life at its finest!

Real life poker is always fun, there is more vibe, a better atmossphere, you can try to read your oppenents card by looking at their face, body reactions,… I never played poker in a casino (only against friends) but would love to do just for the experience itself.

If you ask me that question then the answer will be that no online poker is not better than offline poker game. Actually I want to say that we shouldn't compare with offline and online both have different entertainment. The fun when we and our friends sitting and playing poker of playing with others the fun can't be compared on the others hand online poker make make it easy to access we can also play with others unknown to known person here

Absolutely, understanding how you’re perceived in the online realm is quite a shift from live poker, isn’t it? Without seeing someones face, we dive deep into the nuances of their betting behavior and the rhythms of their play. It’s like reading a novel instead of watching a movie, the details are subtler but equally telling.
Throw in some bluffs or call with those strong hands instead of going all in right away. Keep ‘em guessing. It’s about crafting a table image that’s as hard to read as a poker face in the flesh.

It’s just that those who know how to hide their emotions very well, as well as read the clues on their opponents’ faces, will have an advantage. Those who cannot do this will have a negative EB if they play many hands. This brings up an obvious idea: those who are not familiar with hands and cannot read them are better off playing online poker. OP writes that online you can also give signals to your opponent and delay the time bank, but I don’t really believe in such conditional tells, I prefer not to take it seriously, especially since many may be distracted and not see them. While in offline poker everyone usually watches their opponents even after throwing away their cards)

Playing poker online gives more opportunities because you are faced to a variety of options and can play multiple rounds anonymously and faster than when it is offline, you get to choose a table that suits your level of skills and preferences and can even play in multiple tables simultaneously which might increase your profits if you are skilled enough and if you can focus well on them.

But I think for someone who plays poker for its atmosphere, it is more fun to play poker in person and live, you get to socialize with many player which might increase your ability to read your opponents' mind by observing his behavior and body language you might be able to have more opportunities to set your strategies right and win. I think live poker games add more enjoyment and excitement. But if you are someone who doesn't know how to hide his facial expressions it might be bad for you to face your opponent face to face because you can lose easily even if your cards are better than his.

So basically I don't think that there is one better than the other, it is a matter of tastes and preferences and also skills.
