The two primary benefits in respect of position and seating ensure that PTG Poker is a fairer game than conventional poker. However, there are also further positive effects that will benefit the vast majority of players.
The effect of the PTG Poker rules means that all previous poker advice and strategies relating to flop/community-card games can be discounted. This applies to all relevant poker literature, including books, magazines, internet advice sites and poker seminars. It means that in the short term the players whose poker skills have been based on such sources of advice, rather than intelligence,strategy and perception, will not have as much of an edge at PTG Poker over the vast majority of weaker players who do not fully study this type of information. So immediately PTG Poker is a better choice for most players. It will be a long while before there is authoritative agreement on the best strategies for PTG Poker.
Many online players are not aware that there is tracking software that some online players use to provide information on other players poker habits. A player changing to PTG Poker will play differently, so the value of the historical tracking software is reduced. PTG Poker becomes immediately a better choice for most online players.
Many online players are not aware that there are software programs, called bots, which play poker robotically. The vast majority of players cannot win against these bots. An online player changing to PTG Poker early in the life of the game will not be faced by bots immediately. Even when bots are adapted to play PTG Poker, they cannot be reliable winning bots until there is authoritative agreement on best strategy. PTG Poker will be attractive to the vast majority of online players who do not want to play against efficient bots.
Usually players who need to collude and cheat are not the best players. Until there is authoritative agreement on the best strategies for PTG Poker, the cheats will not be as comfortable at PTG Poker as they are at conventional poker. This applies to PTG Poker in all formats.
PTG Poker is fairer than conventional poker based on the dynamic improvements relating to position and seating. These additional effects make PTG Poker the better choice for the vast majority of players. Why would any player not want to try PTG Poker?
