The first thing that new players need to understand is the concept of an “online poker site”. If you have only played poker in a live casino before, playing online can initially seem like an entirely new experience. However, the thing that’s funny is online poker is basically exactly the same as live poker – all that is different is the location.
In live poker, players fly or drive to a casino, and walk through the casino to find the poker room. In online poker, players browse the Internet to find a poker site, then download the software to open up the online poker “lobby”.
In live poker, players sign up on a board to find the table they want, then buy chips. In online poker, players scroll through the lobby to find the table they want to play, then buy chips with a credit card, eCheck, or eWallet (online poker deposit information available here: Poker Depositing).
In live poker, players sit down at their table and a live dealer runs the game and deals the cards. In online poker, players double click a table to open it, then sit down. A virtual dealer runs the game and deals the cards.
In live poker, when you are done you go to the cage to cash out your chips. In online poker, when you are done you go to the “Cashier” and can cash out via check, wire transfer, or eWallet. Everything really is the same!
