Hey guys,
So i’ve been thinking about starting to go to live games and play at tables. Ive been playing online for quite a while now, what are some of the differences that i should be expecting?

The differences are huge- I much preffer live tables. They are much slower, and youcan size up your opponents, learn their tells, read their reactions. It is a much better game.

By playing live, your chances of getting infected with the virus increase significantly. In my opinion, this is an important argument.

Live is slower and much easier to beat. There’s also more distractions and people trying to talk to you. If you’re uncertain, just take some money and go play a cheap tournament.

Several differences that comes to mind:
** Fewer hands per hour

** Softer games

** Tells to read in others, and people who can watch you

** Tipping the dealer

** The experience of raking in a large pot that has physical chips!

Good luck :)
