prefiero online

online dejas de lado los factores como las expresiones, si sos muy expresivo puede que te dalaten tus caras despues de algunas manos, pero tambien te perdes de podes ver los gestos de los demas.

I enjoy both. Online cash games doesn't do it for me, but live does. MTT are preferred online as they run quicker. Live tournaments are scheduled and when they come up, either something else is going on or my mindset isn't where I'd like it to be. Play much more online than live. These days it isn't much though.

I only play online. For me, poker is a hobby, an opportunity to get distracted and have fun after work. I play in the evenings, two, three hours a day, at home, in a comfortable chair.

I play online because I find it more comfortable to stay in bed with the laptop in front but it has the disadvantage that you do not have the opponent in front of you to see his gestures and depend much on RNG.

I think it's really hard to say one is preferable over the other, they both are great in their own ways. Online is great for the convenience of being able to always play at the click of a button, also the micro limits. Live is great because the level of play is very low.

I prefer to win more. I never played live, but I believe it would be hard pressed to hide my emotions and recognize those of others. But only a live experience will be able to give me those answers. Online is good you can vent emotions.

i prefer LIVE play over online

online you stare at a computer screen for too long and can't get a read on players

where in LIVE play, you can see player's reactions and movements to try and get a tell

Until today I only played online poker, I would like to play live poker to have the pleasure of a tournament personally, so I cannot comment on the question

But in question to play in person it would have to be in tournaments and not in bookmakers

I prefer to play online poker, I played live only a couple of times with friends for conditional money for fun. In online poker, you conclude that the opponent’s hand strength is based on the size of the bet, and when playing live you have the opportunity to look at the opponent’s reaction gestures and facial expressions. Although when I watched live poker tournaments and all of them had stone faces there, no emotions during a hand draw.

Mostly I only play online poker. In live poker, I rarely play with friends. I'd like to play live poker in a casino or poker clubs to gain experience.

I play online because I do not actually have the ability to play live. But I think playing live is more complicated than playing online.

Unfortunately only online. At the moment, playing live is not possible in my region. To do this, you need to go specially. That's not part of my plan yet

Hello friend, although I enjoy both styles, I prefer to play live more, I do better and I enjoy the social part of the game too, although online I play more since at the moment my poker budget is more suited to this type of play because there are microlimites!:D

Live games is always better. In Online poker you can have lots of unstoppable bad beats and it,s hard to win cause of that. I,m pretty sure, that in live poker you will never see such a long bad luck sessions and everything will be fine.

LIVE

I prefer to play live, the reasons are, thats not anonymus and there are less donk bets.

EVERYBODY ist able to play online, but not everybody is visiting a casino to play poker, only interested poker player. Quality is much higher then online.

Unfortunatelly ist not possible to play live as often as online.... :(
