Hi, great question, I'm playing more online games at the moment, but I also like to play live. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages, cash I like to play online and live tournaments. greetings

Great question!

I prefer playing live versus online. The sounds of the chips being shuffled. Stacking them; when running good. The feel of the cards in my hands. Conversations with other players around the table, are just some of the things make the game great. Now mind you, it isn't necessary to go to a casino to experience that, some home games can provide the same thing.

Funny story ... I was playing in a Stud Hi/Lo tournament a few years back. Game was progressing as usual. There was an opponent to my right who hadn't arrived yet. Thirty mins in, she shows up. Elderly lady with her purse that resembled a back pack, rings and bracelets all sparkling, and not a hair out of place.

She asks the table waitress for a tea and some toast. After the waitress takes her order, she looks over to me as says to me; "You look like an intelligent man. Would you care for a game of Trivial Pursuit?" I politely say; "Ma'am, I'm not sure if you know this or not, but you're in a Casino and this is a card tournament." She responds with; "I know that sweetheart, but I find that people don't talk at these things anymore. The smart ones love a game of Trivial Pursuit, and you don't look stupid to me."

Well, the table bursts out laughing ... and yes, I have to say that I did indeed play a side game of Trivial Pursuit in Stud Hi/Lo poker tournament. I didn't win the event, but I had a great time with Esther and the others at my table that day. Regrettably, Esther passed from COVID, but I'll never forget that interaction as long as I'm alive.

So, I guess that is the benefit of playing Live vs. Online .... People make the game fun and exciting.

I prefer online deepstack tournaments, I really love these online tournaments and of course our freerolls which are very fun and competitive.

As much as I tend to play more online than in person, I prefer it in person, because it's more challenging. You have to control your emotions a little more so that it's not easy for your opponent to interpret you.

love online poker ! you can play anytime , anywhere with people from around the world. However I love live poker too. The conversations, the real reactions and play. I just haven't done it in so long I am afraid of screwing up with having to handle the chips and counting my stack....but I will get back out there....see ya out there too I hope.

 

[Lesley J]

I definitely prefer the thrill of live poker!

 

[shokoba]

I haven't played poker in a casino yet, only online poker, which do experienced players prefer?

Online poker is more efficient, but live poker is easier to win. Probably….

 

[poxerator78]

I have not played live, probably it is a higher level than online, but online seems to me much more convenient, transactions happen faster, you can play at several tables at the same time, the opponent does not see you and it is easier for you to bluff

 

[NDRWTRLGC]

live, but only play online atm

 

[Sschafell]

I prefer online, because I play several tournaments simultaneously, it's less tedious!

 

[skaterick]

live poker is much softer , but its very slow and boring ! online poker is so convenient .

 

[BrunoFabri01]

I really like live because I can interact with other players, talk a little about poker, strategies... But it's very slow compared to online. I like more dynamic tournaments, so I stick with online

 

[Vitoeye]

I've honestly never played live.
There's not much activity unless I travel a couple of hours from home.
I imagine I would enjoy it more than online though.

 

[Peteski84]

Occasionally play 3-5 players (not often) but it doesnt really count as live.
I prefer online, mainly because i can bounce around like an idiot and show full emotion without care.
I like swearing at my device when things go wrong and showing it love when things pay off. Im sure it loves all the attention it gets too.

 

[tony2521]

I like it better online because even though you face more players in tournaments, the prizes are better apart from the fact that you are in the comfort of your home.

 

[Flower2211]

I prefer online poker because it doesn't take much time and is accessible to everyone. It’s a pity that there is less emotion and communication in it, but the conveniences outweigh the scales.
