A great game has been allowed to flourish

Online poker has seen a windfall of popularity and, despite legal questions swirling around the industry; online poker continues to find enthusiasm from players around the world. But, what are the biggest reasons for the boom in online poker popularity?

First thing is that now poker enthusiast can play poker online having full control over when they play and when they stop playing, and when they go out they can simply start another game. So, you dont have to wait until you get some folks together before you can play.

Second of all, something that doesnt happen online is that when you are playing with your friends and when it starts getting late people start dropping off to go home, which leaves little enough people to play, until within a few hours the game is already over.

Sometimes even more frustrating when not playing online is that if you go all in and go out early in a game you have to sit and watch your friends play for maybe an hour or more.

The only difficult part about making the progression into the online world of poker is finding out where the best places are to play, and where to stay away from. However, to know where the best places to play, and the places to stay away from, there are sites out there to help the online poker beginner. One good site to play is the one sponsored by the legendary Doyle Brunson.

Because of the features added by the power of the internet, and by the great service offered by online poker sites a great game has been allowed to flourish.
