Message: [QUOTE="Natiq 90, post: 7293508, member: 460031"] Honestly, I don't see online ever killing live poker. And I say this as someone who plays almost exclusively online. They're just two completely different games wearing the same name. Online is faster, more convenient, more analytical. You can play hundreds of hands in the time it takes a live dealer to shuffle a deck three times. You can multi-table, track your stats, study your leaks. It's efficient. It's cold. It's almost like a sport. Live poker is something else entirely. It's an experience. You're sitting across from a real human being, watching them breathe, watching them reach for their chips, watching their eyes when the flop hits. No algorithm captures that. No HUD tells you that the guy across the table just swallowed hard before going all-in. I've said it before in this forum — online I'm essentially guessing based on betting patterns. Live, I'm reading a person. Those are fundamentally different skills. And then there's the atmosphere. The felt, the chips, the sounds of a casino floor. A major live tournament has an energy that no online lobby can replicate. That feeling of sitting down at a final table with people watching — that's not a relic. That's human nature. The elite argument doesn't hold up either. Yes, the WSOP Main Event is $10,000. But live poker exists at every level — local casinos, home games, small buy-in tournaments. It's not going anywhere. If anything, I think online poker feeds live poker. You learn the fundamentals online, build your bankroll, develop your game — and then one day you walk into a casino ready to test yourself for real. That's exactly where I'm heading next. 😄 [/QUOTE]
