Online poker has spread like wildfire on the internet. I think online poker should give some of the credit to poker being televised. Many people don't have the time to visit a casino because of the occupation, family, and etc. Online poker gives these people the opportunity to play the same games in 
the comfort of their homes.
Here are a few advantages of playing online:
*No personal or visual contact with other players.
*No dress code
*No wait for tables. You can join a table instantly.
*Why worry about traveling expenses when your computer is other room?
*There is no dealer to tip
Online poker can be fun and sometimes profitable. The biggest concern is the addictiveness that it can have on some. It is so easy to log into a casino and play for fun or real money. You may find yourself spending more time in online casinos than you really would like to. Watch yourself!
Some people even have decided to quit their jobs to play online poker for a living. Wow! This is a bold step to take.
Is online poker the right occupation for you? Well, it depends upon you. Let's look at what online poker entails and allow you to be the judge as to whether you should participate in this multi-million dollar industry on a full time basis.
Here are the intangibles that determine your success as an online poker professional: some talent for the game, dedication of time, perseverance, plenty of patience, strong will, and disipline. Are you willing to make the sacrifice for these intangibles to develop for your game?
Some people make the mistake of believing that you can read a book or watch an instructional DVD and become an expert in no time. Nothing could be more further from the truth!
Learning poker is an ongoing experience. There is no way that you will be able to master the game in a short period of time. Even professionals with years of experience are learing new things and tweaking their game for improvement. Consider yourself as an understudy and keep a student's mentatlity in order to rise to your fullest potential.
