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.
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 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!ErnestoAhp said:
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.ErnestoAhp said:
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!
If you had to choose only one, would you play live poker or online poker?
Live poker offers physical tells, table talk, and a great social atmosphere, while online poker lets you play more hands, multiple tables, and is much more convenient.

I prefer online poker because it’s easier to play regularly and there are so many game options.
Live poker has its own atmosphere though, especially when you can read people at the table.
For learning and volume, I’d still choose online. ♠️

in live poker i have less patience and i play too fast i think because i dont like waiting when i know already i dont want to bluff or dont want to play the hand after flop for example..ErnestoAhp said:
in online poker , i roll a sigarett , drink some , maybe think about a bluff on pozition , and i know better what range players are in some situations shortly i can read better online .
I’d probably choose online poker most of the time. It’s just more convenient, and I can play whenever I have some free time without having to travel anywhere. I do enjoy live poker though, especially the social side and being able to actually see the players at the table. For me, online is better for regular play, while live is more fun when I want a different experience .Online poker is all about utilizing time to its best because multiple tables can be played simultaneously but live poker vibe is next level
