Message: [QUOTE="Phoenix Wright, post: 6138711, member: 419963"] Which is more profitable depends on a few things including your skillset. For example, if a strength of yours is live reads, then live poker may be more profitable than online poker where you can't see your opponents. Both live and online offer their pros and cons. I will note though, online has much more variance than live poker for the simple (yet important) fact that more hands can be played in the same amount of time (not as much waiting for hands to be dealt, cards shuffled, chips bet etc. since online is usually automatic or one or two clicks at most versus physically doing the actions). Due to this, the "identical" stakes online are much more competitive in ability. For example, the skill level of a $1/$2 game online would generally be tougher players than a $1/$2 game in-person. Online poker having more variance means that one can potentially make more money in the same amount of time, but naturally could also lose more money in the same amount of time. This is somewhat offset by the earlier mentioned fact that online competition tends to be tougher at "identical" stakes though. Conversely, live poker may have a better chance for recreational players to want to "gamble" and the mere presence of more "fish" might make live games softer and that might translate into being more profitable... I suppose it would just take a little experimenting to see which is most profitable for you. Another consideration is that online may be more for the math-oriented since HUDs are allowed on most sites, whereas live poker may be more for the psychology-oriented since everyone can physically see their competition. Let us know what you decide on and how it goes :) [/QUOTE]
