The Internet has made the world so much smaller. It might not look like it now, with all the political flare-ups and regional wars in the news. But I believe that encountering people from far away places and striking up instant friendships is bound to make the world more civic eventually. 
Reason#2- Internet poker is all about playing against opponents you did seldom or never meet in person. You read about Internet romances that lead to marriage. Business associations are formed that would have been physically improbable. It’s a good thing. And one of the best effects of the Internet is what’s happening to poker. Bit by bit, poker game is becoming the world’s common language of gaming. In a real sense, online poker is doing it’s part to make the world better, as well as helping to showcase the game.
I feel a main virtue of internet poker is that it makes games possible among eager players who live so far apart that they did seldom have a chance to sit down together at a real-world poker table.
