Its probably because online the people are not as good as live. There are more donksters online even in the higher buy ins. Also, some people use those hold em indicators to help them.
Online is quicker and easier to get to, don't even have to get dressed, or worry about scouling or smiling when the flush card hits the river.
And can play a few simultaneously.
IMO, live players play pretty bad because most of them just go to the casinos for some fun and hope to get lucky. Most of the online guys, however, put in the time and know what they are doing. That means, if your making intelligent plays, the online players are recognizing that unlike the live calling machines.
Well I have never played live..because I kinda have a low self esteem..so I have to say online is the best for me..but I'm new...once i gain confidence whos to say which I would prefer...xoxo ty
I like playing online because playing live is boring. You don't see nearly as many hands and I like playing a lot of tables at once online so Live is just to slow. Playing live is OK for me every once and awhile, but for the most part online is where I like to play.
I like online myself. I am comfortable at my computer table, I can get up and go potty when I need to, get something to drink or eat and just be relaxed more.
Of course we do not have any live games around where I live but even if we did, I would still rather play online.
