Generally speaking, while live poker at a casino is considered easier than online poker, it is still recommended that players play the bulk of their games online. This is because it’s easier to play at stakes which more easily fit your bankroll. Additionally, when it comes to poker for beginners—the volume of hands is crucial in becoming a better player. And this, unfortunately, is a real drawback of live poker. Because, as a general rule, for every 25 hands of live poker you play, you would’ve played 100 hands of online poker.
