My few thoughts...

Live
PRO= Get to read opponent's body language and trick them with your body language.
CON= Less/slower action.

Online
PROS= MTT are bigger so larger prize pool guarantees/payouts and easier access.
Easier to see everyone's chip count.
CONS= Time, runs out or not enough time. Can't see opponents. Transactions can charge fees and can take a while to get money as oppose to live you get what you win right away.

What would you guys add to the lists?

In my opinion online is much more convenient and faster.As for the commission, you have to pay for all the convenience

For an online pro, being able to play from home with no driving; listening to music; eating/drinking; and just generally being more comfortable.

Also being able to play multiple tables online.


Live is great too, but these online pros are tough to beat imo :)

Playing online is always going to be more profitable than playing live, but playing live the experience is much better and enjoying the game live is more exciting.

live you play at a table and therefore you are going to play fewer hands than playing online so a bad streak can be more harmful to your bank playing live and you also have to put the stay cats and what you consume while you play in alive.

If you qualify for a live tournament or want to play a tournament in another city or another country, you also have to spend the ticket and what you consume on the trip.
