I have only played online poker, but I would like to experience playing poker in a real casino.

I like to play online because of its practicality, lots of options to play anytime anywhere, but the thrill of playing live is amazing.

I only play online poker.
I am curious about live poker but I don't know if I will try it.
The convenience of playing at home on my computer any time of the day or night is just great.

For me i like both, the only thing playing online is much faster then games on a real table - to much time of thinking.

offline to control any emotions. This can be very difficult at first. At home, sitting behind a computer screen, players unconsciously recite combinations and actions (“so, Aces have entered, we will raise”), and then they transfer this habit of talking to themselves into a live game and continue to unconsciously mutter their cards to themselves. Online you can find a place for emotions: smash the mouse against the wall after a bad beat or, without hesitation in expressions, criticize your opponent's bad play. But this absolutely cannot be done offline. Moreover, for aggressive behavior at the table (throwing chips, cards) you can be reprimanded or set a restriction on visiting the poker club.offline to control any emotions.

I prefer live. You don't see as many hands live so less chance of something strange happening. I don't know when I will play live again though.

I think since Covid19 arrived even more, not many people have the opportunity to play live poker on a regular basis.
I used to prefer to play live poker, but my opinion changed. Online poker is faster and I’m totally used to it, it’s true that playing live is much more enjoyable, but there are several benefits to me from online poker.

tough choice ...

live casino games are usually easier , but the rakes here in california are very high ! and , of course , the play is so much slower .

Advantages of online poker:
Limits for every taste
The opportunity to play at low limits can become "manna from heaven" for a poker player who is trying to spin a small bankroll. You can find very small limits online: $0.10/$0.25, $0.25/$0.50 and $0.50/$1.00, while in" live " poker, the blinds start at $1.00/$2.00. Trying to increase your bankroll in online poker at low limits, the amount of money you will lose in the process will be significantly lower than in offline.The variety of sites gives rise to a suggestion: today there are a huge number of poker rooms on the Internet with their advantages and disadvantages. Some focus on bonuses for deposits, others are "famous" for a weak field of players. This variety allows you to choose exactly the option that will help you achieve your goal: maybe you want to improve your skill, or maybe you want to "make money" on weak players. In addition to all the "buns" described above, you can also choose the time of the tournament that is right for you.

I prefer live hands down! . Other players cant use programs to play against me, they cant multitable or use bots. I can use reads and pressure against live opponents. It is a much more level playing field.

I play both. I like online because I can do it at home. But I can make more money playing live.

My choice is definitely online: there is no place to go, a comfortable chair, no unnecessary noise, nothing distracts from the game.

Online to improve and practice. Live when I want to socialize and play for fun.

I played live for 12 years, very rarely logging online. Mostly just in downtime and boredom. No study, no solvers, just clicking buttons. 3 years ago I switched to exclusively online for a number of reasons. Recently I have been playing some live tournaments and I really notice how much I missed it. Plus online is harder.

A real table has no algorithms.

Real is the best thats where I crush it, I don't do to well or bad online but its definitely a different strategy. I play with freeroll money so its no big deal if I get my feelings hurt. I play live poker at casinos and love it(9 hundos last night,walkd with 5 and 5,plus my hundo to sit down) and been trying to get my brother to come down and do it. Its jus a bunch of college kids with stacks of 💰 and they are usually buzzed on something..lol. I don't drink but I act like im drunk:cool: and its awesome, its works like a charm. Good luck 👍.

Real Table vs Online poker

My personal preference is live opponents, it is easier to pick up tells and to put them on tilt.
The adrenaline also gets pumping in some rare instances.

I have never played at a real table, that's why I can't say what is better for me. But I think that online is more comfortable

I prefer real table because is more fun and you can see people reactions, but is more practical to play online. You spend less money, can play whenever you want, there are many stakes and options.
