I think it is, for most part of the people, at least.

But live poker can bring you better experiences and larger prizes, of course!

Better than playing live, that is?
I think it depends on who you are. But playing online is definitely convenient and affordable for most players :)

No, not in my case!

I love to play live cash game! I'm never going to read online players like I would when I look them in the eyes and see their behavior, how them act with every hand...

I like online poker because it's so convenient to play whenever I want, without leaving home.

If you are good at "live tells" and you dont mind only playing 1 game at a time then live poker is great.

In answer to the question in the title: it's not better, it's faster. There are places where you can't play live at all. There's still online poker, which allows you to play even while sitting on the toilet. And where you can play multiple game types in seconds, that's definitely an advantage.

Much better, live is too slow. Also the competition is much stronger online, so more mentally stimulating.

I don't have the opportunity to play live, so playing online is all I have left. And I definitely think that playing online has more advantages than disadvantages. Although, of course, a live game is probably many times more interesting.

There are more than 80 poker rooms operating on the network. But not all gaming platforms are licensed, offer bonuses and transparent game conditions.When choosing a poker room, pay attention to its reputation and whether it has a license. If you want to get a good bonus on your initial deposit, read the wagering rules.

There are many advantages in online poker, indeed. But when you play at a real poker table, you get completely different emotions (more colorful), which helps you better analyze your successes and work on your mistakes. ;)

Online poker allows you to play at multiple tables at the same time.

I agree with all the points you listed, this is really the advantage of online poker over live poker. And there is also such a moment that you can play online poker lying on the couch, and for this you do not need to get dressed, get ready and go somewhere). But there are such moments in live poker that online poker will never compare with. This is the atmosphere of the game, the ringing of chips, a live dealer, communication with players during the game, both on poker topics and on any other life topics. The pleasure that you can experience when playing live poker, it is impossible to experience when playing online poker, I think those people who have played live poker for a long time will understand me. I like the fact that when playing live poker I learn a lot of different information not related to poker, make new acquaintances and many other things that are impossible to do sitting at home and playing online poker.

Hi :)
I play in the evenings after work, I play only online. On weekdays, I work all day and it's optimal for me to play poker at home, in comfortable conditions and not waste time on the road.
Good luck :)
