Do you guys play live games

I play a live game every week, I find it so much harder. People are so much more intimidating in person...

I play occasionally with my mates though they refuse to play for money. They also don't really know how to play properly. As a result I find it a bit tedious playing with them.

I also try and hit a casino and play there every so often.

playing in person is so much better. it is alot more challinging to read the people and keep a straight face.

Occasionally, and it's much more challenging than online poker.

I play with a group of about 8-10 people. We basically play a $10 SNG NLHE.

Every fortnight on Friday I play with 5 of my mates. Its a £10 buy in. Winner takes £50, second place gets his cash back. Came second last week

I must agree that live poker is more entertaining, especially with friends. However it does drag on a bit.

We have a group of friends that play live every weekend. Its a big difference playing live, its more exciting. Lets you learn how people play, read the faces, and call the bluffs when you can.

I PLAY EVERY SATERDAY NIGHT WITH MY BUDDIES ITS GREAT

Live games are a blast, Im going to vegas next month... Im sure I will lose quite a bit of my $$ to the pros out there.

For me, live poker is much more entertaining. I like live much better than online simply because of the "feels" of the game that are lacking when you play online. I like the feel of the chips and being able to stare down your opponent in the eyes, not by trying to figure out what he has by how much time it took him to click the 'Bet' button.

I am trying to get some people together for live poker. I think it is just more fun playing live, because you can observe your opponents and learn about their style.

i play in about 1 a month and love it. its nothing like the real thing.

Ya i always get together with my friends to play and its always reall good fun.

i enjoy the casual games where were just kicking back a beer and playing cards inbetween, but my favorite thing in the world is to go into the casino and sit down with guys there with the intent of making money. i enjoy the serious atmosphere more than anything else.

I never play in real life. Because i dont have any friends that can play poker

I play real life all the time, not big money, but good to get together with people and destroy them at poker

I play once a week with about 8 to 10 people, I do better playing live then online........lol
Its very exciting, the bluff is great, and its cheap ($10 for chips, we play about 1 hour time limits). I love it

i play reall game every week

we have a tournament every week i meant if u play with those ppl for a long time u basicly kno who they play

i play live games about once a week or so and prefer to paly live games becuase of the quality of poker but the quantity of poker or how many hands and tourneys you can play online is much higher

Yes, I play once a week in a 20 pound Mutli Tournament at my local casino - usually bout 60 regular entries, BUT obviosuly there are certain things u cant do in a casino than what u can online eg

1) Sit there playin in nothing but ur underwear
2) When someone gets knocked out you instantly stand up shake his hand and mumble 'nh'
3) Scream for ur missus to play a couple of hands for you whilst u r sat on the pan in the bathroom

I could go on BUT you get my drift right?!

I have played live a few times, but mostly internet. I actually havent been to a casino or cardroom since i started poker 2 years ago, i used to like to play Black Jack b4.

My friends and I play once every couple of months, with a game this weekend (Can't wait), it is much more entertaining, but a totally different kettle of chips!

wish i could try, but where i live (new york state), its strictly illegal. and, since im not really into gambling, i dont feel like traveling long distance to a casino...
ill probably play my first live MTT at the WSOP.

once a month me and about 8 others have a $25 a person tourney winner take all which ive only won once out of about 6 tries

live games are much better in my opinion,people are less to play stupid such as the people you get online who will go all in every hand with nothing .

I would play live more often but the casinos tend to frown on playing in your underwear.

Not yet need to improve my skills some.

I enjoy live games more. It is a whole lot easier to bluff. Plus you get to play with people you know. That helps a little.

my brother and i play in live tourneys. usually 20 dollars buy in. it's so much fun. however we have 5 dollar buy in all the time. it's so much fun. i got the wpt chips from the website online i love them chips. makes me feel like a pro :-P should try it some time

I am a weekly player of live games usually we have about 8 to 10 players a week small games and we vary the buy-ins usually we start with 20 buy-ins and we have 3 winners per game 50% first 30% 2nd 20% 3rd and we have played 50 buy-ins with the same payout schedule lots of fun and to me at least more entertaining and we all start with 500 dollars in chips in a 20 buy in game

i have played poker in person before. i think it is way better than online, maybe because i was playing with my friends. id rather play in live than online any day of the week.

I would rather play in a live tournament game, but will take anything I can get.

i play home games once a week £20 entry fee thats what $32 or something winner gets 50% off total theres usually about 12 off us, 2 tables needed in my garage, they say i have the home advantage but i only win about 60% off the time but im always in the money lol.

I play mostly on-line. There are loacl live games but I tend to only play live on my visits to vegas
