First of all, as an avid (local Indian casinos) gambler I can tell you that online poker is a waste of time. Odds are always against you and you are better off sitting at a table with semi-pros in Las Vegas....

Aside from that, most decent firewalls will protect you. Chances are if someone had the ability to hack into you computer and view your desktop, they wouldn't be using their abilities to see your hand on some online poker game....

online poker is not a total waste. its good for practice afterall the pros play online poker and there are a few WPT or the other one(i forgot the name) champs that started with online poker. but i agree that its better to sit in a table as you get better practice on how to read people.

ive heard about people winning seats at the world series of poker game by winning games online. my friend actually won $3000 or so dollars about a week ago from playing online. i have played with him a few times, and he is a great hold 'em player.

i would also have to agree that playing poker in real life is an experience that cant be replicated online. there is no waitress to bring you beer at home

Mr.Suave

unless you got an obedient wife

His name was Chris Moneymaker. He won 5 mil after winning a seat online to the WPT. Then he took the 5 mil and pissed it away gambling. lol

Poker should have very little to do with the actual cards in your hand. It has more to do with reading people's expressions, emotions, movements...

Instead, poker (mainly Texas Hold'em) has turned into a commercial, no skill involved, game.

When I sit down at a poker table at a local casino, there are two types of people I see. People who play only their cards and people who play their opponents. In the long run, the later tends to come out ahead.

Playing online poker can help you with the odds. It can give you near instance feedback as to whether or not you made a wise decision, but the way you need to play online is vastly different than the way you should play in a casino game.

Playing poker based 100% on the cards in your hand and the cards on the board is not poker.
