According to my point of view, I think it is online because it is the one that has been played the most and it is easier to deceive people, in addition to playing several tables simultaneously that you would not be able to play live poker, and in addition to the fact that there are many games to play as well of traditional poker, and for me live poker becomes boring if you are at a table where your table mates talk little and are more focused on the game, then for those reasons I prefer live poker and I think it is easier to generate income than playing live poker.

I think playing live is easier but there's one thing we won't be able to do which is volume and online that's possible. Imagine staying 8 hours in a live tournament to try to get one and take a bad and end up there. This sucks!
In online we take a bad one and automatically register in others our chances increasing.

I also think it's online, because you can play several tables at same time so more hands per hour. Also, online poker rooms offers a couple of a promotions that can increase yout monthly income, which usually don't happen in live poker.

Depending on the availability of live games and how sweet the games are, otherwise online cash can have some higher skilled players and more difficult to consistently make considerable profits.

Neither, they're all hard especially for folks that don't know what they're doing. You can sit there and play against weak opponents live but NL Holdem is a game where even the weakest players can get lucky on you repeatedly and if you don't have sound bankroll management principles or can't deal with tilt then it will break you.

And Holdem is also a game of many illusions where you think have an understanding of the game but in reality you don't have a clue what you're doing. Some folks can win a few tournaments or have deep runs here and there by doing silly aggressive donk plays but they just get lucky and they can't cash on a regular basis and eventually go broke.

There are easier and more reliable ways to make money in this world and sitting at home or in a casino against people who want to take your money for lots of hours with no guarantee of turning a profit is not my idea of fun.

There are folks that can do it but the secret is they have invested a lot of time (like more than what you would earning a degree at a university) and effort into it. And even then, there are numerous instances where the BEST PLAYERS IN THE WORLD HAVE GONE BROKE. Think about that, you're the best player in the ENTIRE WORLD but you can still go broke, lol.

Play it as a hobby and if you don't enjoy it then do something else. Life is too short to waste on things you don't enjoy.

I used to believe it's live but now I think it's online because a few tables can be played simultaneously and also even if it's just one table, the hands played online are still 3x more than live

I also find that live poker is more challenging than online poker. I think that making money is quite difficult in both cases, and losing money is easy, however, I think that making money playing live poker is more difficult.

Apparently it all depends on your skills. But overall, I think online poker is better for making money, because you can play 4 or even 8 tables at a time.

Live! You can get as better read on players LIVE! And a chatty table makes it better. New online these days....reading a player and quicker table movements make it difficult

For me, in terms of income, I think that online is more profitable for the volume that is possible, but the live prizes are also good. Now in terms of playability, both modalities are fun. Remembering that online poker has grown a lot with the pandemic. :)

You can't multi-table a live game. Online gives you way more hands per hour.

it depends on your abilities, if you are a good reader of people and their reactions, then it is handy for you to play live poker and generate a substantial profit; if not, usually online you have the quick opportunity to make a profit by playing poker:)

Online for sure.
In online we can play many screens at the same time and reduce the variation, which in live we don't have that chance.
Online poker is more democratic and I see different types of players that I can't find in live.

Of course if you understand psychology and know everything about opponents is easier in person, so you understand by their emotions, what hand they have. So if you can, play poker live and don't regret it. Good luck!:D

I prefer live, I like to know my opponents, their movements, expressions, gestures and even nervous tics, but due to lack of time, I play online that sometimes I feel like I'm being deceived, because of the absurd moves that happen, I agree that it favors playing more than what a tournament.
