I enjoy playing live. I like to be able to see the other players, conversate with them, see when they're going on tilt, and you hear a lot of stories and learn a lot more I feel like. If you play online you only learn what you go out and seek, during live play information is being fed to you. You can always learn something from someone at a live poker table when they're talking. Either A, they knew something you didn't and now you know, or B they have no idea what they're talking about and you know you can take advantage of this person now.
