Poll: How often are you still playing online poker (for real money)? (1 Viewer)

Now that we are well into the pandy, I know the online poker had a big surge initially, but seems to have faded. I'm wondering who is still playing online and how often.

Pokerrrr 2 3 nights a week, unless the degens can get an O8 game going on Thursday in which case 4 nights a week.

I play live once or twice a month but I’m beginning to think live poker is rigged!

I play online a couple of times per week because it's easily and readily available.
I 'd play live in home games anytime instead of that.

Public Live games offered here in the only existing casino are 1/2Euros, the equivalent of $3/6 NLHE in American pocket feel, so beyond my roll.
Lower stakes are offered in underground games, but I won't risk playing in them.

I treated online playing as educational practice, but, at least in P*stars, the games are now so hard that I have gone lately from small steady winner to loser.
One factor could be my tech-illiteracy (probably I just don't know how to and can't make full use of the Poker tracker software, while each and every opponent can and does so).

Live games are just so much more..... well live. Live action & skill level is ridiculous compared to online. The other thing is live, and especially in a card room, the chance of a rigged game is far less. If you play for bigger stakes the whole rigged game is certainly relevant.

I answered "rarely". Its probably less than once a week. I think I will be up for gambling tonight. @shorticus ?

I don’t think it’s rigged and I didn’t lose money, but I’m still not playing online. I didn’t win anything material either, I just don’t enjoy it all that much.

I enjoy playing online. I play somewhat regularly as it is easier to get into a game. I’m beginning to get my monthly game back, but I doubt that it will interfere with my online play as my live game is on the weekends and online is played during the week.

Same here. Last March our weekly game moved online and run for around 15 months. Only small stakes but I ended up with around 50% more in my bankroll by the end, which is a bonus as some of the regs would add credit every week. But overall just not as enjoyable online and can't wait to get back to live poker.

I occasionally play on pokerstars but now only use play money. As I'd likely just donk off my money playing too often.

2 euros is only about 2.5usd
But either way it is also comfortably above my bank roll. So I'll stick to home games for cheeseburger stakes much more enjoyable to spend time with friends and not stress too much.

I rarely play online. I don't enjoy it as much as live poker. Poker for me is a social occasion as well. The few times I have enjoyed playing online we were doing voice chat while play tournaments with a closer group of friends.

I factored in average salaries, including my own, in relation to US counterparts. Hence, the x3 factor.

Erry day but I miss a good home game.

I’ve know players who play online while playing live.

I tried thy once but found myself betting my online hand in live play. Didn’t work out so well.

Haven’t played online since last playing on Doyle’s Room in about 04. I enjoy live poker with real people. I think it’s all the Galaga and Ms. PAC Man I played back in the 80s, those games were actually fun. Online poker just really……… isn’t all that fun from what I remember.
If there was an option to check a box that said “online poker sucks” that would have been my pick.

ClubGG every day

Not since the great day of online mourning. Before that I used to play on multiple hosts every day.

I honestly think online is so boring but I'll play if I'm really in the mood
