Online Poker History

Online poker has developed and changed the face of poker in some ways, although some formats remain the same with online play as they do with live play. The standard cash game, single table tournament, and multi table tournaments are present in both cases, although playing at a computer can afford you interesting opportunities.

Most online players will have heard of, or indeed tried out multi tabling, and it has become the standard way for poker pros online to ensure their edge in skill translates into profits. You can open one STT, play it, and get unlucky to not cash, but we know that luck evens out over time…or tables.

If you are playing ten tables at once and are one of the most talented players on each of those tables, theoretically, as luck evens out, you should emerge in profit overall. This was demonstrated earlier this year by Bertrand Grospellier who broke the world record for the number of Sit and Go tournaments opened, played, and completed in one hour. This seems easy on the face of it, but when you consider that to break the record you have to finish in profit, the challenge gets a little trickier.

Grospellier managed 62 tables within that hour, finishing in slight profit for the session, which considering how stretched your attention would be across so many tables, is a remarkable achievement. This record was made by Grospellier as he sat in front of four monitors, being cheered on by fellow professional poker players during a break in his EPT schedule in May. Guinness World Records are verifying the record, which shows an extraordinary amount of concentration and poker talent.
