There are quite a number of differences between video poker and real live poker, however in general the game remains the same, simply the format is changed. That format however can really make a difference. To begin with video poker is not much different than playing regular slots machines, in that the games are displayed on a screen similar to a computer monitor or a television screen. These machines are programmed with a computer chip which generates randomly selected numbers which determines the final result of each spin/deal. Video poker requires very little interaction from the player; there are some choices that he has to make which will directly affect the outcome of each deal. For instance depending on the number of card/s he decides to hold will definitely influence the final outcome of the game.
Video poker can be played at online casinos as well as regular brick and mortar casinos. If you ever happen to visit a regular casino you will be able to easily identify these video poker machines by the display on the screen cards instead of your usual symbols. One thing that both video poker and real live poker have in common is that the game involves a hand of five cards, and the rules are basically the same. Because video poker games are computerized you will find that there is a wider variety of video poker games available than real live poker games.
Playing online video poker and playing real live poker are two entirely different experiences. In online video poker games the atmosphere is much more relaxed, you get to play from the comfort and privacy of your own home, with no one around just you and your computer, there is no one there to see you as you play your hands, and make your choices (good or bad) no dealers, no other players around to make you nervous, no one watching your every move. Plus you don’t have to worry about if you brought enough money along with you, because you have those credit cards handy just in case you need more cash.

It enables you to enjoy the action of poker without having to face other players who may be more experienced and skilled than you are. In addition, in video poker, there are no dealers, no rakes, no bluffing, no cheating; it is all about you and your poker skills.

Poker bots have improved massively over the last year from what were really no more than toys to the sophisticated poker winning tools they’ve become today. So with the evolution of the poker bots is it game over for us lowly human players? Not really I would argue, whilst poker bots are able to win consistently in certain scenarios there are weaknesses we can exploit to retain our human advantage.
1) Play at No Limit games. The vast majority of bots play at Fixed Limit poker tables and I know of only one capable of play at ‘NL’ games
2) Poker bots are designed largely to exploit very weak players at micro level games. At these games a decent, solid playing style will enable a poker robot to take down many pots. As stakes increase the level of play does too and the bots sturggle – so look for these games and you’ll be sure to have human opponents
