I have never played in a live poker tournament. I would like to but know I would need a lot of preparation to understand all the rules (etiquette, bet line, etc.,) and practice keeping track of chips in the pot and pot odds in your head.

Online is convenient and easier. With an internet connection you can play from anywhere on multiple devices at any time and the software does some of the math for you.

I never played live, but I think it’s better online, at home, you can drink and smoke coffee, and no one bothers

I prefer online because when I'm live I get nervous and I make moves differently than I would when I'm at home when I'm not nervous I kind of don't like that because I really would like to be brave enough to go play at the casino or a poker room but I'm afraid I'll make the wrong move and people will judge me any ideas on how to get over that:rolleyes:

Online tournaments vs. live tournaments are different in many ways. I prefer online tournaments because you can play more than one tournament at a time two tournaments depends on each player.

The live tournament play interesting. You can communicate, see as a rival. The online tournament, in addition to skills, intuition plays a big role.

Probably be a moot point for a while I doubt there will be very many big live tournaments happening in the months ahead. I guess we should consider ourselves lucky that we still have online poker to play right now!!!!!......

When it comes to money games I really like live games when you take a big pot it nice to see the look on the loser face or faces! Online freerolls are bittersweet I like them because there free but I hate them because there free! Why do I hate them because there free? People will go all-in with anything they have nothing to louse! I can't count the times Iv had my aces beat by a 2-3 or a 4-7 off suite! If they had $100 bucks in the game they fold every time!

Live poker has many social aspects which we lose by playing online, in my opinion live is way better

I believe that online tournaments and live tournaments cannot be compared in the strict sense. It all depends on the circumstances and your capabilities.

Still, live tournaments are better. When you see your rivals, you are more likely to make the right move.

I prefer online tournaments because nobody can know my actions by looking at my face or the way I stay. :confused::deal:

I definitely online. I feel more comfortable. also in my city there are only two casinos with live gaming and on occasions the minimum number of players to start the tournaments is not completed.

Aces on WPN for me are now 3 for the last 18 on WPN with one tie that ended with the board having a wheel. Absolutely ridiculous against the bingo hands with 5x raise pre and post flop, straight all in pre flop, it does not matter how I do it. The biggest thing that matters online is chip count, biggest thing that matters live is the cards in your hand. I will say live tournaments 100% of the time. Do the beats happen there? Yeah but not even close to the frequency.

If there is the visible eye I prefer playing live for the simple fact of starring the eyes.......
