Think live i make better plays than i would online.
You can also read players better live than you can online since you can't see if they make a face or if they have some kind of tick they show live that you obviously can't see behind your pc. But online does go quicker than you would play a tournament live.

I've never played live but I imagine I'd be terrible at it. I feel like with live there is so much more to take into consideration. It's partly a whole different game with tells and bet sizing and such. Kinda haunting to me honestly.

$1/3 or $1/2 is much softer live. You can introspect players much easier. $2/5 is too difficult live but online the $1/2 is savage. The rake is really poisonous live though mixed in with mandatory bad beat tax and likely tips the game is really a dead end.

I think, that live poker is more easier. Sometimes i can see lots of strange things in online poker, i can lose for months cause of bad beats and can,t do anything at all. In live poker situation is better.

So the subject line said do you PLAY better live or online...This question doesn't make sense to me because I play the same both online and live. Just because it's on a computer screen doesn't change my strategies.... The next portion is about COMFORT.. live is a better "feeling" IMO because of the sound of chips shuffling the feel of the cards in your hand, the oxygen pumped into the casino, the ability to interact with other humans it's just a satisfying feeling to me. but online for me is more comfortable because I can play in my underwear while watching sports and laying on the couch......so.... comfort online I guess.

I think I play better starting hands live. I certainly have more focus since it is only one game I'm playing as opposed to multiple tables online. I like both for different reasons. You can't go wowee I got aces when playing live. Also can't play in your underwear.

I prefer to play live. Keep the real cards in their hands, to distribute, to rake the chips when you win, for me is a thrill. This has its own romance, especially if you play in a friendly and cheerful company. We often gather with friends to play poker, I would not like to brag, but most often I win we usually do not play for money, but just for fun, it usually takes 5-6 hours to determine the winner. It's worth it!

I like To play Live but don't have really places where to play only with friends at home games.. but I think Playing online is my day to day so I also Love playing online and because we can make Lot of more hands and play simultaneously different tables jus love it I would have to play in Vegas or at a wsop to see which one like more

In short, I think I can get more information from my opponent live. Why my opponent's likeness online is behaving the way it is is much more variable.
Actually, all gaming I do online is merely a means to play more casino games.

I have a much higher winning percentage live for I can read fairly well when I can see your body language, eyes, and watch your hands to see if you are shaking a little. I do quite well online but no where near good ole live play.

You might think differently if you were to actually learn how to play.
If you were to take an inventory of the players who were in the Top 50 of the WSOP Player of the Year race, I think you'd be shocked to see how many are (or were) online regulars. (most of them!)
