Wide Selection of Poker Rooms

One of the biggest advantages of online poker is the especially wide selection of rooms. Those living in Lithuania can try the Betsafe poker room, while fans of foreign poker rooms have an even greater selection (BestPoker, PartyPoker, etc.).

To start playing, you just need to go to the poker room's website and create an account. In each poker room, you will find many different poker games: Texas Hold’em; Omaha; Spin n Go, Cash games, various MTT tournaments, etc.

When playing poker online, you can play at several different tables simultaneously and also play at your own pace. You can choose when and how much to play. If you want to learn how to play poker, you can visit our Poker Video Lessons section.

Game Speed

When playing live poker, usually between 25-30 hands are played per hour. Meanwhile, when playing online, this number can increase to 60-90 hands per hour. Moreover, online you can play at more than one table at the same time, so this number can increase even further.

Playing online allows you to determine your true win/lose rate much faster.

Lower Buy-ins

When playing poker online, you will need a much smaller “bankroll” than when playing live. Therefore, this poker option is worth trying even for those who do not want to invest a lot of money. In almost all online poker rooms, you will find tournaments with buy-ins of €5 or even less, and they run 24/7.

Hand History

Tracking your played hands and learning from them when playing poker online is especially easy. Some poker rooms block hand history tracking programs like PokerTracker or Hold’em Manager, but even without using any poker programs, tracking your hands is not difficult.

Many poker rooms keep the history of all played hands, and after finishing your session, you can review and analyze them.
