As a female, why do I play online poker… I think there are many reasons why females play online poker. One maybe the obvious and may not be specific to only woman but the intimidation is much less at an online table than at a live table. For me, because I am less intimidating I have more patience to learn when I make bad decisions. Absolute Poker is perfect software to learn from. It has been known from time to time to have new fish. Many people are learning to play poker for the first time and learning from each other. Unfortunately, other than testing before and a bit after a release, I am not able to play on either Absolute Poker or UltimateBet.

A third reason to play online poker is the disguise. At live tables you see sunglasses, hats, hoodies, headphones and other props used to distract other players from reading your poker face. Online you can have an entirely new personality each time you play. There is more freedom to explore different types of play such as being aggressive, bluffing, playing tight…

All these things I have learned from online poker (and my time working with of Absolute Poker and UltimateBet) I have packed in my poker tool kit for live table play. I now feel confident at live tables. From online poker I have learned the rules of the blinds, raises, BB, SB, dealer buttons, positions, etc. Knowing the basics I can focus on the art of intimidation at the live tables.
