I voted that live is more difficult.

I've played about half of my playing hours live, though that does leave me playing double the number of hands online, minimum

I voted the way I did because of the pace of play in live play. There are aspects that make it easier; for example, I can read players much more easily in live play and live players do seem to be far more polarizing than online (probably because online players can use HUDs to make sure they include balance). However, patience is a skill and is the primary skill utilized in poker. Live poker tests your patience in ways that online poker not only CANNOT, but online poker doesn't want to either (See Zoom Poker, Rush Poker, etc.) When the wins and losses are coming so quickly that they're off-setting each other by the minute, there's no aspect of patience. When you have to deal with the sting of a sick beat while someone looks you in the face like they knew they were gonna spike a 2-outer the whole time; that's difficult.
