Online poker has happeend to good old fashioned poker. Online poker has brought speed and greed to the game. The game happens so fast online and gives players an instant high of gambling sensation. When playing online with not material money in front of them players tend to play more hands and play worse. When you play in person, it is a lot harder to play 10 2 when you have to show everyone at the end of the hand and they can look you in the eye knowing that you made a horrible play. Online though you can show your hand while you hide right behind the computer screen. So you can basically blame chris moneymaker asi personally believe he was the reason that the online poekr boom happened. Heck i will even admit it, i play tons of hands online that i would never play in person in a live event.

So yea, thats what happened to good old fashioned poker. Hopefully you understand the point i am attempting to make (sometimes im not too clear after a drink or so haha)
