You believe that poker in the future will be only online?

I think 10-20 years will definitely not die. it isn't known further. perhaps real communication of people will die. not that poker!

I think no, live poker is a completely different game

I will never believe that poker can be a online only game!

Yes. Live big tournaments are still ""the thing". And Why would the go away? As much as i like online poker, the one thats live is more ''real'' so pros will try to go to live evens weather its wsop/WPT/EPT or any other
No need to worry =)

NOPE !!! That will never happen. Isn't the same thing to watch your opponent in his eyes with watching the monitor ...The best example is Daniel Negreanu (or many pro like him) how many times you see him / them playing online ...maybe when is too bored or something so again ...NOPE

Hello..

never..

I think playing live in all sports is totally different than online,

nothing compares in my opinion, play those chips, receive letters, feel the butterflies in my stomach and pulls emotion a pot ...

and out that his personality changes when being live.

I played once and will never forget how it was exciting Jeje : Jd4: : O

they saw the film Surrogates XD

Live Poker is a tradition. A game for professionals

not juste on line live also,a lot of people come to poker club and try to play live games....

Not at least as long as online poker lives. It's possible though that later some other, more entertaining game will take poker's place both in online and in live (not necessarily the same game). Unlikely to happen during our lifetime though that live poker would completely die.

this is the same as asking what is better to make love with a beautiful girl,or to do it on the Internet

No, online will going up but live tournaments always will be scheduled. WSOP is one of the famous competiton in world and l can not imagine November without best 9 players of wsop main events. Maybe some tournaments are closed but never all. Live poker have history and tradition always be some tournaments. Numbers of this tournamemts maybe going down but EPT and WSOP are so much popular to be closed.

Online poker is a very good and easy to play but did not notice anything of the game against a real opponent when you try to guess the opponent's action on his movements and emotions

Poker is not die. After all ludomans die with poker someone.

I don't think so,poker become as a show and more people want to watching offline poker because its more spectacular.

Online poker is getting smaller due to all the regulations and restrictions imposed by local governments.
Poker sites themselves are marginalising the poker and promoting casino games and sports betting more.

But people will always have a pack of cards and some coins to play with even when the lights go out.

I totally agree with this opinion .
I 'm getting the feeling that the last 4-5 years states have declared a war against online poker globally , or if this is too much, they have started a campaign to restrict and impose limits to online poker in favour of their good supporters and clients , the big casinos , like in America , but also to force gamblers bet their money either in casinos or elsewhere , in great sportbetting companies .Maybe I am wrong but thats what i see happens in my country .
Online poker has to deal with online bots if it wants to survive , cause in the future these bots will be better and better and I doubt if the pokerrooms will be able to confront them .
Live casinos will always be , players will always want to play live ,as it gives you a different feeling and there are a lot who don't play online . If another great scandal appears in the future which will concern a great pokerroom ,similar to Full Tilt 's, then many will abandon online for live for sure.

I believe that poker is not on the Internet and poker tables for a living - it is different things. Quite different feelings and emotions, to be seen whether the opponent is tense as running his eyes and what emotions he feels in response to your call.
Poker will never be just online play, as this game of millions! And we are part of this world

Despite the across-the craze of online poker, the game at the table has its charms (in my opinion), which is deprived of online poker. Therefore hardly happen complete victory of online poker.

poker online will never substitute live poker.

I on the contrary think that the future of poker is more common in a live game and online game will be almost no demand.

I dont think that possably can happen, ever . The poker is invented by real people around a real table, no one can also dispute this. The game is meant to be play live, when its made there were no internet and stuff. But the gold and all other trade stuff for the period were there. So, they dont even thought about how this game will prosper by this moment. About the "tomorrow" technologies i think they will make virtual poker almost a live one. It will be nice to see your oponents and table on hologram at home. haha
At all, i think the online poker cant win versus the live one, only can be improved to become one.

No. I think more realy that poker in future can be offline only

No there will always be live tournaments without a doubt, I can't see the the WSOP being turned into an online format

Funny question. Ofcourse - no! Poker will never cease in live, because poker is rapidly gaining popularity.

So long as there is the world series of poker live poker will always remain, even if online poker is legalized in every state in the U.S. If anything, legalizing online poker in all 50 states will increase the number of live players at the WSOP in Vegas.
