There are many reasons I like to play poker online. First of all, it’s so easy. You can literally play any time of the day, any day of the week you like. 24 hours a day there are thousands of players playing poker online. Some of the top online poker sites I like to use are Full Tilt Poker, Aced Poker, and Poker Stars. Each of these three sites offer something a little different and have different types of players.

The second reason I love to play poker online is I can multitask. I know, I know, I should multitask while playing poker because I am not fully concentrating on the game at hand. Well, that is sometimes true. But sometimes I want to play poker as an outlet – to just relax. These are the times I’ll respond to some emails, chat on IM, do some work all while playing a casual poker game. It’s also cool when you do multitable games. The most I can handle is 2 games at a time. I have a good buddy who plays poker online Australia, and he is able to play 6+ tables at the same time. My mind would go absolutely crazy trying to handle this much poker action.

Another reason I like online, is I just don’t have the option to play “offline” very much. My buddies are so busy. The local casino games aren’t real close by. It’s just not that easy to find a local game where I live. So playing online gives me that instant poker action whenever I need it. I probably spend roughly 15 hours a week playing online. I know some spend way more than that but I don’t consider myself a serious diehard player.

Honestly, I’m more interested in the affiliate side of things for most of these online poker rooms. How can I help promote their brand and make a little money along the way. Problem comes when I end up spending all those earnings playing online poker So where do you like to play? Do you play tournaments? I play very few tournaments as I’m just not patient enough. Every now and then I’ll jump into a late night poker tourney that has 1000+ players to see if I can catch some kinds. But it’s more often than not a big waste of money – and time.
