When we say online poker, we mean a poker app that allows multiple players to play at a virtual table. Sometimes online poker refers to video poker machines that combine the gameplay of online slots and poker games. Live poker is a more advanced version of online poker where the action is set up with multiple reads and other aspects of the physical game. When playing live poker, you can see your opponent’s faces, chips and other game attributes. Last but not least, live poker games run rather slowly. With online poker, you can play multiple hands per hour at multiple virtual poker tables.
