Im leaning into live play more as of recently, but still have the majority of my experience online. So as it stands i do prefer online.

hello.
I'm nicolas a taste. I prefer the online poker because you got the advantage of playing high volume of hands can not live and study aid that helps try to improve the game and fix bugs.

I like online because it is convenient after working all day.I can set on my couch watch football,basketball or listen to music while playing poker relaxing.I like live because it brings more excitement to the game.I am more focused.I got to go with live poker on this question.

lol both have advantages and disadvantages.
i wont bore you repeating all the previous blogs.
i have played live for 8 years and online for 5.
luckily i have only lost $500 on line and $x live.
living in melbourne,australia, it was a dream to play at the wsop.
this i did in june 2013 $1000 buy in.... 4402 entrants....
never cashed but enjoyed the thrill and buzz.
the worst part of the trip was hiring a car and driving on the wrong side of the road.
surprisingly and thankfully....there was no road rage and no accident.
i love poker.....perhaps revisit Rio again in the near future xx

Online you can play anytime you want, and the games go a lot faster. Live you get better reads on your opponents, and you have more time to make your decisions.

Online is very good. Go in Bath-room anytime you want, when you whistle back running (this does not take the note / tablet in the bathroom hahaha)

Live - more to watch, study, assess, and ponder. Also, in most instances I don't have to get up to make my own drink.

I prefer online poker, but i tend to win a lot more when playing live. I think with online, i enjoy the fact i can watch TV etc. Whereas in the casino, there are less distractions and i tend to focus more.

I have more fun playing live, but I wish there were cheaper live MTTs around me.

I like to play poker on my computer more than in a live game. At home I do not feel intimadated like I do at the live game. Not very many women play in live games in my town either and alot of the guys are pigs. At least online they are just donkeys :D

live poker for me is profitable. but, if i had my choice i would rather play online because it is much faster, can play multiple tables at once, and you learn more by playing against better opponents.

I've found that I can make more $ per hour playing live (worse players at higher stakes), but getting to a live casino is pretty inconvenient for me. They both have its +s and -s

I prefer online over live but i like both actually. I like online more though because of the comforts of playing from home, like having no loud noise around me or loud ass grumpy people either. If i want to play in my boxers well thats open also. I like to play live if me and a couple buddies want to go out for a night on the weekend or something. The only negative i have about online is my mind starts to wander to much and i get impatient if the people at my table are playing to slow, then i will start doing other things in between hands and that does not help.

Live games with friends are the most fun poker games by far, but the number of hands you can play online is unbelievable.

I love live poker but the closes casino to me is over 3 hours away and home games around my area keep getting broken up or have suspect people hanging out around them. Online it is for me, no cash in hand but at least i don't have to worry about getting robed at gun point online.
