Why Online Poker Players Bet More Aggressively?

Online players bet aggressively compared to their offline counterparts - particularly in the no-limit and smaller pot-limit games where a player may risk his chip stack at any point in the game to acquire advantage in a hand. A common generalization no doubt, but it is a fact that seems to hold true. Some sites have a ‘bet the pot’ button as an option in the betting round. In the real life, this action requires the player guessing the current pot, counting out his chips to match that pot, putting that amount in front of him (likely in multiple steps for big bets), and then doing the verbal bet; a laborious process that frequently weeds out weaker players trying to purchase a pot. The marvelous world of internet makes this process easier, since it does the counting and puts the bet in a single step and the automatic process means easier game mechanics. And easy means more individuals use it frequently than in the real life poker.
