online poker IMO is poker but you are not PLAYING poker. You are just calculating numbers and getting small reads off pixels.
I play online poker everyday for about 3-4 hours cash game.
I play live poker tourney and cash every weekend. (Mainly cash)
I see the difference between a online Player and a live player. I am a lot better at live poker. I get good reads and I can control the pot and aggression more and gain more information live.
I quit online poker because it has too many cons vs live.
Also the feeling of actually playing live is so much more than sitting in a cash game online.
Also online is a software... It is a system designed to portray poker in a illusion of pixels.
Live poker is REAL poker. You see the deck being shuffled and everything is real and legit. Everything is shown infront of you. Instead online you have to trust the developers to have a unflawed system that portrays poker.
Also the wide variety of not knowing anything about anyone apart from a display picture is pretty useless to me.
Chat at the table and watching someone's emotion lets me strive at the table. Instead I'm left to guess online.
That's my opinion and I'm quitting online and playing live only for the true poker.
