Toronto Poker Rooms vs. Playing Online Poker

Underground poker games toronto

Well we have all heard that there is nothing like the real thing baby, but what would be some of the advantages of playing poker online instead of a Toronto poker room? There are a few advantages, the main ones are: There are no good poker rooms in Toronto, The rake - its less online, for instance at PokerStars the rake is nothing for micro limit games and at most online casinos its half of the rake of lower limit games at casinos.

You can play multiple tables at once and the number of hands per hour is increased by a factor of 4 to 12; You don't have to travel anywhere - you can play anytime you want; You can change games in an instant; Play at smaller or larger stakes than are available at your local casino; tournaments run far faster and you can play in multiple tournaments at the same time for larger cash prizes. Well that's just a few of them not to mention that you can play at home in your underwear! As the current laws exist in the GTA there are no good Toronto poker rooms. Below are listed the top online poker sites for Toronto players to play poker online.
