I can't say I like one more than the other. I really enjoy online play from the comfort of home. Sometimes I just want to throw on some comfy clothes and kick back and click the mus. But I also enjoy the elegance of live play. I enjoy getting all dressed up and the production of walking into the casino with all the flashing lights and noises....:)

Dressed up? Where are you playing live? The poker rooms I play in are definitely a working-man's affair...

Sorry friend, but playing poker with the cards in hand is a thousand times better and tastier than playing online.

Agreed, I'm often distracted at home as I have the TV on in the background with a sporting event on, or listening to a podcast on my ipod, stepping away to get another cup of coffee... so I half-heartedly play. I'm much more attentive in a live game.

The distractions help me to NOT play every hand out of boredom. I imagine that as a younger man, my attention span is shit by comparison, especially given the instant-access nature of the world I've known since I was born.

I have a mindless game on my phone that I play between playable hands. Literally, it's just enough to keep me from playing suited 86 or 89 off every time.

Hello! I'm always playing poker with my friends, but as my friend had a birthday and I decided to give him a poker set, you would see the reaction of friends when he unfolded the gift, it's not comparable, after that every Saturday we try to get together and arrange a small tournament believe in a live game of us, it's more interesting and pleasant than on the Internet (try not to get pissed)!

Just can’t beat playing live.

as much as i enjoy online poker just doesn’t compare to live games. Feels more honest and even though the bad beats are just as frequent/infrequent it feels more like just bad luck rather than getting cheated by an algorithm!

I play only on the Internet in live poker to play for me is difficult because I do not know how to hold back emotions in the game.

I've never played in a real tournament since I started discovering online poker 2 years ago.

There're just no poker games in a 30km circle around my house.

I like live WAY BETTER! It's much easier to get a read on opponents and a feel for who you are playing. This may be off topic but I saw a player yesterday on ACR played 25/80 NL named W. Kassouf and thought it could be the pro so I watched him play for a half hour . Tight as can be - played only one or two hands before losing an allin 10k pot with QQ against KK... can you imagine losing over 5k on one hand? He left immediately after.

Live is more natural , and I win often playing cash. For online I play tournament majority of the time and I bust a ton of them, its hard to dodge bad beats for 3-4 hours online.

There're no casinos for me to play live in my town so I play online poker only. I really wish one day I can play live poker at least once. I guess it would be an interesting experience. :)

At this point in time I play poker only online, and I have never played live, I hope soon I will play live poker :)

this is an unforgettable experience from communicating with others, the ability to observe people and a very strong difference from poker behind the computer's

Playing the live is certainly much better, picking up the cards in the hand, playing the chips in the pot, looking at the face of the adiversarios without doubt is much better, but I can not play as well as I can play online, I do not know why what reason :(

I like online poker more. In the clubs of my city they can beat and kill. Rob the win. Therefore, online poker is safer. And cozier. Since basically you sit at home

Yes, it is much more intense to play live game that to sit in your room and play from your computer. You can say that it is a completly different game
