A different level of play ?
According to conventional wisdom, poker table players would be better than online poker players. However, this is not always true. At the casino, many players are like you, novices, and come just to get their hands dirty and entertain themselves. For example, in Haute-Savoie, the Imperial Casino receives players of all levels, experts, or just casual players.
Online poker players have nothing to fear from poker players at the casino; although some are very experienced, online players possess a not inconsiderable quality : they usually play long games and play longer than a regular player. As a result, they are used to playing long hours without ever losing focus, which is a huge advantage over casual players.
As you can see, the level is roughly the same between online poker players and casino players. Whatever you choose, you don't have to worry about it.
Better supervision at the casino
By playing online, you won't be able to count on anyone's help. Each player leads his own game, regardless of whether the opponents are beginners or not.
At the casino, on the other hand, you could make good acquaintances and benefit from valuable advice from experienced players.
In addition, if you have never played before, the staff can explain the rules of the game and direct you to the different game tables.
Know how to manage players ' proximity
This is the major difference between online poker and casino poker. Around a real table, all players see each other, hear each other and can send each other verbal or non-verbal messages.
Body expression, imperceptible online, can also tell a lot about a player's game. If you choose poker at the casino, you will have to learn to manage your emotions and not let yourself be intimidated.
Just like your opponents, after several games, you will begin to be able to decrypt the body language of other players. However, in your first games, don't pay attention to it and focus only on the cards, so as not to be destabilized.
