Online Poker

In addition to live poker, there are currently many online poker options to choose from. Some online poker is a pure game that does not involve any real money, and some platforms involve real money. If real money is involved, it is likely to be defined as gambling. In this case, you must pay attention to legal issues, because gambling is prohibited in some areas. In that case online gambling is also prohibited. If any player plays online poker games, they must be aware of the local legal issue. Otherwise, the consequences can be serious and the players are responsible for their own responsibility. Here we are only discussing the situation of online poker and are not promoting any gambling activities.

There should be many online poker games that do not involve money, and players can look for them on their own. In these games, many players also play with a first-time try, learning, social mentality, etc. Therefore, most players do not play every game very seriously. They often play every game, and it is very easy to ALL IN. The game situation is very different from the real money situation. Therefore, these games are really only for initial learning. If the player wants to study seriously, or really needs to play money games, then only uner a legally permitted environment is advised.

There are also many online poker platforms involving real money, and players can also search for them on their own. Here are the pros and cons of online poker, and what you need to pay attention to:

Pros :

There are various tournaments and cash games of different sizes
The buy-in can be as low as $1
Some platforms will provide free games and give away small bonuses (in our real case, without putting any real money, we won about 2 US dollars through free games, and then continued to play with 2 US dollars, and won more than a thousand US dollars)
Operates 24 hours a day
All you need is a computer or mobile phone with internet connection
There are many types of players
No need to face other players
In theory, there will be no errors when dealing with cards online, calculating chips, etc.
Each game progresses faster than live, so players can play more games per hour
Multiple tournament and games can be played at the same time

Cons :

Can't see any reaction from the opponent
The card dealing process is not transparent. Players can only choose to believe that the card dealing process is fair. If they do not believe it, they should not play online games.
Nowadays, AI is developing rapidly. Players don’t know whether the opponents they face will have computer AI

There are some software on the Internet that help players conduct real-time probability analysis of poker games, such as checking the history of each player, how many games they have played, the chance of entering the Flop, the probability of 3-Bet, etc. Some online players will use these software and data to improve their games. Internal performance, and these software usually require payment. Therefore, you don’t know whether your opponent has used these software tools to analyze you. You need to pay attention to this when playing online poker. If you know that the player has analyzed yourself, you can use different strategies to deal with it.

on the other hand, in the history of online poker, there have been some false or unfair news reports on the platform. As for whether they are true or not, you can only judge by yourself.

According to our experience, small buy in can still be used as entertainment or practice, while large buy in require your own judgment and responsibility. In fact, there are more bad beats than in the live. Every time you win a game, there are more bad beats in the subsequent games, and every time you go ALL IN (especially Pre-Flop) , it feels like there are more Bad Beats.

Computer knowledge: Based on the world we know, since the appearance of the first computer in the world, every computer program has been written by human. In the computer world, without external intervention, so-called random numbers do not actually exist. For example, when you enter the formula random() in the computer program excel, the computer will calculate a number that is very close to random based on a certain method, thus outputting a seemingly random number. Therefore, it is not random at all, because the computer cannot do it completely. Randomness, maybe scientists or mathematicians are still thinking about how to achieve complete randomness. Unfortunately, there is no complete randomness that can appear in computers yet.This so-called random number is actually affected by certain factors, but these factors can be numerous and complex, and the combined result appears to be random. Therefore, we would not completely trust any computer form of randomness. What's more, writing one or two sentences of code to control random numbers is an effortless thing, and anyone who knows computer coding will easily understand it. Although from our real example, it is possible to play free games and win real money, we do not believe in randomness.

Summary: Never trust online poker! Online poker destroys the real poker industry!

Reasons:

入左金，If you put in money, even if you win, you may not be able to withdraw money. There are many examples.，未必能出金，例子多的是
The ridiculous hands and bad beats you encounter will only make you frustrated and helpless.，只會令自己沮喪及無助
No one in this world will give away more than millions in prizes, unless it is a charity or a fool，除非是慈善機構，或者是傻子
There is no legal way to recover any losses.
It is easy to use AI to set up a virtual account, and then use the control code to issue AI-friendly cards.，再運用操控程式碼發給利於AI 的牌局，不難做到
There are many games in the market that players can deposit money and earn better weapons, and online poker is just one of them. This is the business model of online poker, and profit always comes first.，線上撲克只是其中之一，這是線上撲克的商業模式，利潤永遠是第一
Online poker is just a business, their purpose is only to make profits, not to provide fair games，它們目的只看利潤，而非提供公平的遊戲
Game balancing. All games on the market will have game balancing principles to avoid a certain corner being too strong, causing the game to be uninteresting for a long time. The same is true for online poker. Try to balance the winning rates of all players so that each player can maintain the balance. Players then can keep playing.
The online poker platform claims to use third-party certification to prove that the program is fair. It is a pity that this third-party certification, who can certify its fairness? These third-party certification agencies are only for business. In order to get more projects, they may easily issue accreditation certificates. Who can say that this is not possible?，證明程式是公正。很可惜，這第三方認證，誰能認證它的公平? 這些第三方認證機構，也只是為了商業，為了得到更多項目，可能很容易便發出認可證明，誰能說沒有這個可能性
Poker platforms that were very famous and popular in the past, such as pokerstars, fulltilt, party poker, etc., have also been said to be fraudulent by online news. These news are very credible.，亦已被網上新聞說是有詐騙成份，這些新聞可信性十分高
In order to balance the game, when a player has a large pot in the hand, players most probably have 90% of chance losing, and players may have higher winning chance on all subsequent small pots hand to balance the overall winning rate and make players believe that the game is fair.，當玩家於局內有大彩池時，9成會輸，其後所有小彩池則較大機會勝出，以平衡整體勝率，使玩家相信遊戲是公平
In every tournament, in the early stages of the game, players will get more good starting hands. However, in the later stages of the game, when they are close to ITM or ITM, players will basically not get better starting hands. Most of the cards are very weak. Under this arrangement, players have more opportunities to ALL IN in the early stages of the game, so it will be easier to buy again, inducing players to play more games, and the platform can make more profits. In addition, there are more good starting hands in the early stage of the game to balance the fewer good starting hands in the later stage of the game. From a statistical point of view, it will look very average, but it is just an illusion.，在遊戲初段，玩家會拿到比較多好的起手牌，但到遊戲後段接近ITM 或ITM 後，玩家基本上不會拿到較為好的起手牌，而拿到的手牌大部份是十分弱的牌。在這個安排下，玩家在遊戲初段ALL IN 的機會較多，因此便會更容易再次買入，誘使玩家玩更多遊戲，平台便可賺更多利潤。另外遊戲初段較多好的起手牌，是要平衡遊戲後段較少好的起手牌，從統計學數字來看，看起來便會便很平均，但只是錯覺。
