Best online poker games on Launchpoker.com

  Part of the beauty of online poker is the anonymity of it. There are those of us who would feel self-conscious going to the casino in our flannel pajamas and bunny slippers, but playing poker online just allows us to look any way we want. There are those of us who are simply hard to look at before some time with a razor, a comb, and perhaps one of those sandblasting tools. Instead of taking a few hours to make oneself presentable, we can just log into our favorite room and play, regardless of how we are dressed, look, or smell. There is a bad trend that may ruin the beautiful anonymity that allows people to play poker while comfortably looking their worst. Some genius has had the idea of adding web cams to the mix.



  MonBluff.com has decided that letting players see each other is a good idea. They are promoting this feature by suggesting that being able to see your opponent will help a player perfect their bluffing technique. This is a good argument, but they leave something out, those players who are doing this can no longer hide their tells behind an avatar wearing a cowboy hat or a flapper dress.



  We joke about the idea of being able to play online poker in our pajamas, but a lot of people have faces that are hard to control or tendencies that give away what they have in their hand. If they are stripped of the anonymity that online poker provides them, they may go from winners to feeder fish.



  In a way this could be the poker way of propagating a survival of the fittest. If webcams become the norm for online poker, thousands of players will be stripped of the protection that being in cyberspace afforded them. The sick and weak will be weeded out by the more efficient predators. We wonder how long it will be before this is used for strip poker?
