Although I’m a big card fan, I can’t book a night to play poker with my friends and family because we all have busy schedules. I miss those evenings when we would play poker for hours. Nothing compares to sitting down with your friends to spend a pleasant evening of cards, reminisce about old times and fun memories, drink a few beers and have a snack. Personally, I think this is the best way to enjoy my friends. However, when this is not possible, I turn to online card games, my second favorite activity.

Playing the card game online is really easy, you don’t have to call your friends and try to arrange a convenient time and place for everyone to get together and play poker. When you play online, you log in and then you start, everyone is already there, you have virtual cards and a virtual table too. Everything is redistributed, cheating is impossible and all you have to do is sit back and play the hand. When you get bored, you are free to leave or you can change the table. There are even people who can play two or three online card games at the same time. I can only admire such dedication.

When you play online, you can still make new friends. Online card games have the opportunity for text conversations, so you can talk to the people you are playing with. Using this chat is great because you are not face to face and you don’t get nervous about meeting strangers. Also, you can pretend to be someone you are not and no one will question you. If you start to feel uncomfortable or bored with the game, you can leave whenever you want. Playing card games online has the advantages of playing face-to-face cards without the downside of commitment and effort. However, no matter how good the online card games are, nothing beats a good night of poker with your old friends sharing memories and having a few drinks.
