Poker can be played either on our local casinos or over the World Wide Web. Either way, for us to be ensured of a smooth, hassle-free game, casino operators have implemented rules for us to follow. Personally, I've got no problem with that, so long as the fun won't be taken out by the stiff formality and "army-ness" of these rules.
Basically, when you go to a local casino, you ought to remember two things: all-in and table stakes. The principle of all-in states that even if a player no longer has the adequate chips for bet-calling, it doesn't mean his hand will be automatically disqualified. Table stakes, on the other hand, means that you're not allowed to draw money out of your wallet on the duration of the hand even if the danger of an all-in is looming.
With regard to
online poker betting games, you have the option to play on an unrestricted table or a private table. This mechanism is similar to how Yahoo! Messenger works: chatrooms can be likened to unrestricted tables, whereas private tables may be similar to instant or personal messages. No fear of being chickened out in an online poker game, because the regulations aren't as strict as with local casino poker. There's actually democracy, in the sense that the players have the option to vote out any mean player in the room.
