I like online poker because I don’t have to go anywhere to play. If I have some free time, I can open the computer and play.

Many players who say that online poker is a Scam back up their words by the fact that they often got into the so-called "cooler". A cooler is a situation when a player drains the entire stack with good cards in hand. This is usually due to the fact that two or more opponents get fairly strong starting hands that are not willing to fold.
So, for example, if you get your hands on a pair of KK, and your opponent a pair of AA, then you will both be sure of your victory and move all the chips in all-in, such cases are called coolers. Both participants from the point of view of strategy perform the right actions, but the victory is likely to go to your opponent. Moreover, it is noted that such cases are more profitable for the room, because poker players who are confident in their cards are dealing big, inflating the Bank as much as possible, and therefore increasing the rake of the room

I feel live poker is more profitable than online, generally there are more fun players who play recreationally . I prefer online over live due to being able to play from the comfort of your own home whenever you want, buyins are smaller and you can play many more hands in a short span.

Actually live poker is much better. To be able to see and observe the opponent. But online poker is also fun.

Live poker is really good, to smell the cards, the noise of the chips and the sounds of people ...

Online poker has its advantages too, being in the comfort and security of your home, being able to have a snack at any time ... Being in total silence to have more focus etc ...

Both in online poker and live poker there will be players like that, we will find everything. Regular players, recreational players, maniacs etc ... Of course, in online poker we find it more often because there are MTTs with low buy-ins.
Really with the social distance we have no other option but to play online.
In my opinion live poker I find it much better and much easier. To be able to see the opponent, analyze and see his reactions etc ... Of course, live we will find stronger players and not so much recreational as in online poker.
I really agree with your words, live poker has its advantages.
Each player has his profile, I do not discriminate his opinion and both live and online are good to play. GL to you my friend.
Live poker has these things. To be able to see your opponent, to see his reactions ... To be able to hear the sounds of chips and people and all the adrenaline of playing live poker with many people of various nationalities.
Nowadays online poker has become an easier and more convenient way to make money, or lose right. But with all this global crisis, online poker has become easier by having low buy-ins and the convenience of your home.
Online poker really becomes more affordable when it comes to money. However, live poker because it has higher values attracts better players and less recreational players.
