If you are good player, you should consider playing live poker. If you are able of withstanding a pressure of live poker, its best poker for any smart player. Online you have all sorts of crazy players who dont care and play very badly and they dont let you play poker how it should be played. Live poker is different and if you consider yourself capable and good poker player, you should try it.

I play live poker .. but wherever you go you will always find crazy players ... not only there are online! .. even if you do not think playing online requires much more skill at the time of playing because you do not know your opponent physically or know how to play, every day you play with different players

Online you have all sorts of crazy players who dont care and play very badly and they dont let you play poker how it should be played. Live poker is different and if you consider yourself capable and good poker player, you should try it.

So a couple of things:


1: I've absolutely run into the kind of players you're describing at live poker tables. Live poker is an environment where any drunk can walk off the casino floor, plonk down some money and throw it around like they DGAF. It's a beautiful thing.


But more importantly...


2: If you are indeed a "good player" then having "crazy players who don't care and play very badly" at your table is 100% a Very Good Thing. Do you see why?

Yes indeed I agree I would much prefer playing live. But I do find online play seems to make me a better live player. Plus in live poker you are not dealing with algarythyms so your AA does not loose to 2 7 off most of the time!:D:D

online poker is more dynamic, and in a live game more emotions. Of course, everyone should try live poker at least with friends in a cozy atmosphere

Online players overall are far better than live players and that is the real reason you might consider playing live.

I find your comments very interesting and very contrary to every poker player's desire - win money! You say that online poker is full of crazy players who play badly. To me, that means these players are putting dead money into the pot time and time and time again. Why would you not want to take their money? Are you that compassionate? Poker players get into games to MAKE MONEY. The more fish around the table, the more profitable the game. WHY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE?

Live poker players are, for the most part, extremely awful. There is money to be made at the casino and I'm willing to take it.

my opinion is: offline poker is a practice. Online poker is more like a theory. you can get real experience by playing offline.

Most poker players prefer live over online but a lack of time and/or a "Live bankroll" prevents us from playing live.
I have had some good finishes and a couple final tables in live tournament play and a positive ROI in live cash and would love to have a nice BR to play live.

When i say crazy players i mean those who go wild and you can never bluff against them and that is maybe not a problem but when they go wild and go all in in early stages of the tournament its extremely difficult to play, for example he goes all in with 64 off suited the other night and beats my aces, thats crazy...

It happens all the time in the micros, you'll get used to it.

Definitely agree. U do get good players and good games online but all the thinking is done for u .. bet size %, pot size, your hand even the % u have of winning u definitely need to be more switched on playing live. I played my first live game in a casino about 5 weeks ago and have been back every week since then and u don't get ppl doing stupid things as much because they are there in person and will look silly there not hiding behind a laptop.

live poker with friends

I use to play live poker with my friend, mostly on sunday evening, we are gathering up to 9 players, it is fine because you can learn how to play in big live tournaments, by following everybody's gestures, and you learn how to manage your feelings. I also learned a lot because I was caught bluffing because of my wrong gestures.

Live poker is for the soul. Online poker is for earnings. All because you will never gain an average number of offline tournaments such that the variance was reduced to zero. And also, try to play in serious live tournaments))) and look at the level of the game in them ... I think the recommendations will change very much.

The fact that live poker is different from online poker I know. But I do not have the opportunity to try it. gambling is prohibited in our country.

Is Live Poker The Way To Play?

I would certainly agree with those who state that live Poker is the way to play. I believe that you get a better feel for the game and that it is a greater experience do to the social aspect of live play. You meet people, enjoy the game we love to play, pick up on tells and tendencies you would otherewise not be privy too and get out of the house. All the while not relying on computer algorithms to be accurate. I do play online Poker however live is the best way to play in my opinion.

I agree that there is no substitute for live poker. A good player will have much more advantage live , using skill at reading other players physically. There are crazy players no matter where the game is played but a good player welcomes this and will use this to his/her advantage.

In live poker much more interesting to play. As it is possible to monitor the behavior, gestures of people, getting additional information. When bluffing, to put all the chips in the center of the table is much harder than pressing one button.

I'd prefer to play online for so many reasons before Black Friday: larger player pool, variety of games, rakeback, bonuses, lower rake, ability to multi-table, # hands dealt/table hour. Live definitely has its share of bad, crazy players. That's good. It's easier to win money from those players. If people aren't playing "how they should be playing" then you simply need to adjust your game to maximize your winnings.

Live is where the money is at and really that’s all there is to it. Online is soooo tough these days for numerous reasons that live is the play to make.

Live poker is the best way to be convinced that distributions in online poker, very similar. And live game, is very similar about online.
