If its free,then why not? This would helpful for those who had a hard time but if this do ask out some charge then its a pass.

Completely free of charge mate!
As you say so. Now, I just want to ask what is the difference between the poker in casinos and online poker. Are the rules the same? Can you chat with your opponents or not? What is usually the minimum bet allowed in btc? Is it harder to play online since you can't read the body language of your opponemt or it's all the same?

I'm sorry if I had so many questions, I'm an aspiring gambler. I just bumped into your thread so I grab the opportunity to ask and get some advice coming from experienced people while it still free Grin.

First off, when you say poker, I'm assuming you are talking about the most popular version ; Texas Hold'em. There are many other forms of poker out there, the likes of Omaha, PL08, etc.

There are 2 main forms of poker you can play :
MTT's (Multi table tournaments)
Cash games

The base rules of texas hold'em are the same everywhere. You can chat with your opponents, aswell as online and live, but speaking when there is an All-in at the table is generally frowned upon. For live table etiquette I advise you to watch the following video : https://youtu.be/lkuBbXpIFhU

The amount you want to bet is completely up to you. MTT's can start as low as a $0.05 buy-in. For online cash games the lowest is generally at around $2. But the sky is the limit, you can also choose to play $100.000 cash games and MTT's, like I mentioned before, it's completely up to you.

Online poker is actually easier for beginners than live "casino" poker. Body language reads are not that prominent at the beginner stages, so don't worry about it. It is indeed impossible to get a physical read when playing online, but it's always possible to find patterns in your opponents game, so that you can exploit them.

I tried to keep the answers as beginner friendly as possible.

Hope this answered your questions.

Goodluck at the tables!
