In my opinion, it all depends on the level of your skills and experience in the game of poker. If you come out on top in the long run, then it makes no difference to you whether it is online or live poker. With a good game in online poker, you can earn faster, but you can also lose more. For me, it is more interesting to play live poker, it is slower, and most importantly, communicating with opponents and watching their gestures, facial expressions, behavior is very interesting, as you will not lose more than you can afford.

For many years I had this doubt, but I've come to the conclusion that online poker is definitely more profitable.

Yes, online poker is usually more profitable because you can play multiple tables at the same time and greatly increase your volume and winnings.

I believe live poker is more fun, I don't like playing blinds too high in online poker, but live is always available

The facts for me are that Live poker is more profitable.....by a huge margin. Especially when time is factored in.

£50 buyins live are the rough equivalent of the micros stakes live!! Possibly softer even

It all depends on your skills. If you are a strong poker player, live tournaments will bring you much more money. As for online poker, there are much more free tournaments, various promotions and satellites. Therefore, if you are a weak player, you will still make a profit just by playing freerolls. :geek:

I would say definitely live poker..on online poker is iffy. Plus you can’t read peoples faces or reactionsonline. Plus I heard some sites reshuffle discarded cards back in after they are discarded.. can anybody tell me if that’s true

Online can be more profitable because it's faster, there are more hands, you can play on more tables, and you can use HUD in many rooms.

online is more profitable due to the fact that you can play more than 1 tournament at the same time, increasing profitability, not to mention the time spent on a single tournament and live tournaments which take longer

I believe that live poker has less variance. Thus, it becomes more profitable if you are a good player.

I believe that online events have many expenses compared to live events, which online events don't.

In my opinion, online poker is more financially profitable, but of course live poker is more spectacular.
