which do you prefer? I personally always do better in person, but mostly online game. What do you think are the factors that differentiate one from the other?

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

Hi mate.I only play online,so I feel comfortable playing poker in my room.Although,it would be great that someday I could play a live event.Everyone would read my tells easily I guess ,lol.

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

in person is more preferred,but online,before black friday was good stuff.

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.

Unfortunately, you have to play online. But I wanted to play live.

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.

Unfortunately, you have to play online. But I wanted to play live.

I mainly play online because I never really learnd to play live and i feel like i give away so much info with my bodylanguage and my terrible pokerface.

only play live with friends with 1 or 2 bucks buy in max and its not really about any money

Always play live. Live I always win the most, whenever I play online I feel like it’s rigged

poker in person is great, thats 2 different things. its exciting really.

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!

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.

I prefer online, comfort is a factor, speed in the game, play at several tables at the same time, online without a doubt

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....

I enjoy both as well. Convenience I prefer online. For the play and being able to read better, I prefer live.

I really enjoy in-person play, which belies the hours and hours that I have played online.

Hello.
I prefer to play online. I have no time or desire to go to a casino if I can play comfortably at home.

I enjoy both. I think online is harder. I can't tell a bluff online as easy. I can't see body language. There are more opponents usually in tournaments. It takes longer to win at cash tables online. When I play in person, I know in the first hour if I'm going to win or not. I can recognize more bluffs.

Since I live in the US, live for sure. Especially at a fun poker festival like Run It Up Reno. Lots of fun non poker stuff to do, besides the cool tournaments they put on.

Live poker... unless it's Free Money Friday and I'm hosting my homegame on Twitch

Live is nice because you can pick up more information and have more time to think.

Online is great if you want to put in a lot of volume (like sunday tourneys)

20 year old me preferred online, 30 year old me prefers live

Hi.
I only play poker at home. I rarely go to casinos, so I almost never play live. I usually spend about 2-3 hours a day playing poker, so I actually only have time to play online.
Good luck.

Live poker is most likely 100% pure in the game..and the structure is completely different from online, but online can be exciting and profitable.

I've only played online xd

I prefer in person poker to online poker. (Especially friendly house games) I went to a buddies house tonight and won a couple hundred playing in a small tourney style game with 12 people. Playing at casinos can be much more of a grind but I find myself composing myself and playing tighter/smarter in person than I do online.

Its a tale of two cities for me. It depends what you like. If you think of poker as a social game then live will be for you. If you think of poker as more of a hobby or something to supplement income then I think online would be better. Online has the advantage of multi-tabling which is huge since one table play is boring to me. Online also has the convenience of staying in your own home relaxing while you play.

To sum it up, do you want to talk to people while you play? If yes then live, if no then online

Of course its prefered in person..but its hard to catch some friends everytime,so If You wanna play everyday poker the online poker its the Best

If you go to a casino You need time to play,so maybe If You dont play poker for living i Guess the time to play its small...so for me personal the online poker its the Best..

I prefer online poker! First of all, accessibility is the main and undeniable advantage of online poker. You can play in the morning, in the afternoon, at night, or all day long. There are dozens of poker rooms to choose from, where you can compete with players from all over the world at a single virtual table. In offline mode, this option is available only in major tournaments, where a beginner can not get through. Secondly, it is easy — the next argument for starting to get acquainted with poker on the Internet. Even if you have never played poker and the river is a river for you, you will still be able to understand the rules: somewhere intuitively, somewhere thanks to the built-in tutorials. Without at least the slightest experience in an offline game with more venerable opponents, you may be uncomfortable, and the virtual table in a sense equalizes everyone. and finally, Speed is another positive feature that you can't pass by. In offline mode, an average of 10 to 20 hands are dealt per hour, while in online mode, the number of hands reaches 50-100 (and more when playing at multiple tables).

for me online-for money, live-for fun, but I have no experience playing live,

Online. I don't have real poker face ��

As much as I love online poker, I have to say that o.p. is became uncpredictable while more and more people joining in with really different skills. So you really need to defend yourself and your cards, and be able to fold as well. Few years back it was easier.
I want to experience live poker, but not really have a chance right now. Hungary not filled up with quality casinos, and tournaments. On internet they don't advertise the events well, so I don't have so much information about them.
Maybe 'll participate in the future (summer) but I am just not ready right now.

Good afternoon everyone! As for online poker and playing live, I compare it to watching a movie, watching on a tablet or going to the cinema, the result is one (game), here are different emotions

I like online, I can play remotely everywhere! Just convenient and interesting!

Live poker is better.
1. More interaction with opponents
2. More information available
3. I like shuffling my chips

I tend to agree, I do better most times at live games, heck you get your winnings instantly, lol. The biggest difference I have noticed is you can watch for and track patterns of players one line while in live games it is much more difficult. Also it seems players online have much less concern for money management, almost as if the chips don't represent real money. Even playing with play money I try to play as if it is real. I have even had other online players question why I play so tight, well the game is the game and I don't feel it should be corrupted or diminished by the stakes. your thoughts?

I prefer Online

I playing online when Ihave time to do that, after work and in holidays. I never played poker live.

It depends. Online poker gives you the possibility to play wherever you are as long as you have internet and smartphone or pc. Also you can play for much lower price than live games and even for free in freerolls.

Live game for me is much more exciting. No matter if it is home game or casino live contact with other players is just another level of experience. Of course price to play live is higher.

To sum it up - if i have the time and money i prefer to play live. If i don't i play online (which is much more frequently).

I agree. Poker has become very difficult

I'm quite used to it online but I don't close the doors live ... poker!

I prefer poker on line. You can sit back have a beer and a smoke and be carefree about poker. The way poker was meant to be.
