Do you prefer online or live poker?

Never played poker and I don't have a chance to go on a live poker too, so online is better for me

Live poker has more expenses such as getting there and accommodation if over multiple days. But I preferred the atmosphere over online play. Bu then there is angling and got stung in an expensive tournament with a player concealing their cards. Software does not do this although online people can use software to cheat so swings and roundabouts. I think I found online easier than playing an online tournament with 6,000-7,000 players or more.

Live.

Online 99% of time, and just 1-2 poker sessions a year. For me that works good

Live poker is good, very good...but..... I don't have possibilities here to play LIVE. that means, I can play only Online at this time. It's ok. I play much less poker now. Years ago I played much, much more hours per week.

I'm from Brazil, and here there's no tradition of playing poker; people don't know how to play poker. My only option is online poker. I'd like to practice and play live.

I have always played online and to be honest, I can't complain about the returns and results.
But I'm in a good emotional, financial and knowledgeable time to go play poker in a casino. I have to face such a challenge and live the experience.

I prefer online poker because it’s more convenient and I can play more volume. That said, live poker is a completely different experience and definitely worth trying at least once. The pace is slower, there are more physical tells, and the atmosphere can be great. Good luck with your first casino session!

It's obvious that online is better, because of the convenience and because you can play 3-4 tournaments at the same time. I used to go to the casino but it closed down, now there's one 40 minutes away.

Missing live games, haven't played for a while. Online playing has started to feel like a job, need some physical chips and beer!

I prefer online, but sometimes I think is more rigged!

Siempre he jugado en línea y, para ser honesto, no me puedo quejar de las ganancias y los resultados.
Pero estoy en un buen momento emocional, financiero y de conocimiento para ir a jugar al póker en un casino. Tengo que afrontar ese reto y vivir la experiencia.

I, too, have almost always played online, so I fully understand that feeling of wanting to make the leap to the casino. There's something special about live poker that you can't experience behind a screen: the atmosphere, the chips, the conversations at the table and the chance to observe your rivals face to face.

Personally, I like both modalities. Online allows you to play with more hands, learn faster and make better use of your time. However, the casino offers a unique experience and a different challenge, as reading players and emotional control take on much more importance.

My advice is to take advantage of this good moment you are living in and dare to try it. Beyond the economic result, the experience will surely leave you with very valuable memories and lessons. Best of luck on your first adventure at the live tables!

Online poker. Because I beware of cheating players
