Online poker is a myth furthermore Bitcoin casino poker is a bluff. Poker is a skill and behavior-based game, without the partner being physically present it is hard to call it poker. I do not believe in them and that is why I avoid playing online.

That's what I used to think too before I started to play poker online myself, and before I did a thorough research on the current top poker players. Now, when I read your comment, I'm inclined to think that your vision of poker is formed by movies and TV shows. When your opponent is physically present, you can win if you are good in reading their body language, right? Smiley Wrong.

Although it is very likely that being skillful in reading their facial expressions you would win against a 9-year-old, I can guarantee that you would have absolutely no advantage over an adult poker player in that regard.

There are tons of proofs that current best poker players are also good in online games. And whatever gives them that advantage, it's not the ability to "read" their opponent.



Regarding the OP's question I've voted "No, it doesn't". But I would't play in a casino where rake is over 6%.
