live takes much more concentration. Mainly because you can get a big advantage if you know how to read people. YOu can pick up many more ticks and tells.

Big advantage of online is you can see many more hands per hour. But most of the time, live you will play against much weaker players, especially in a casino or back room of a bar. At least around where i live.

I would rather play live everyday if i could, but no casino is super close, and the back room games are so crazy and pretty high stakes. Worth playing, but not every day.

LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE!

My mental edge is sooo much bigger live... they can't see any reactions, win or lose vs. being able to see EVERYTHING they're thinking/feeling!

Obviously, you can still go on massive tilt, online, but your opponents won't achieve the added edge by witnessing it (unless you chat your tilt).

I'll be taking my first stab at live cash play 2 weekends from now on sunday the 8th... I have been reading tips from various sites, but keep them coming in this thread... Guess we'll see what CC has to offer.

Live game for sure, it's easier to read your opponents and you have more time to make decisions and of course the dealer is a human.Cheers
