There are not many differences among online and conventional poker games, but whatever few exists, it is necessary that people playing the game be aware of it. Conventional poker is a game which is played in brick and mortar casinos, with players crowding around the tables in a more chaotic environment. It is kind of deep-rooted into the pop culture and this has been made obvious even through various television channels. Online poker on the other hand is a game of poker which is played through the internet, with the players being able to login and play from anywhere in the world right from the comfort of their homes.

The differences:

1. The speed of the game: Several online poker tables usually deals hands at a rate of say one hand every minute or may be more than one at times. But in a conventional casino it is not like that. Even the best dealers at a conventional casino will find themselves lucky if they are able to deal even one hand in every two minutes. In an online game of poker there is instantaneous shuffling, counting and even placing of chips at a rapid pace as they are being done by the computers. But in the casinos, it is done manually and hence the pace is obviously slow. So this indicates that if you are in a hurry to finish up more hands in less time than the online poker game would just be right for you.

2. The tells: This means that in case of online poker games the physical tells are non-existent. However, players can always use statistical analysis to come up with various betting patterns which would otherwise be a lot difficult to spot as incase of conventional poker. These are tells which the players can definitely exploit while playing and get more refined as he continues to play with the online players.

3. Absence of Physical proximity: In the conventional game of poker you are always surrounded by other players and there is no way one can express their feelings while in a defeat or winning situations. Moreover in either of the case one gets to deal with odd looks and grins and stares of other players. But while playing online, you are the only one in front of the computer and you don't have to control your emotions in a winning or a loosing situation. You can enjoy your anonymous identity and feel free to shout out loud either in pain or joy.

Apart from these few differences the conventional and online poker games are just the same. The bets and the strategies are same and the conditions are almost same as well. No matter where you play, make sure you enjoy the game and play it safe!
