Online tournaments have the advantage of not having to go to a poker club, they can be played both on weekends and on weekdays after work. But the real buzz I get when I play live tournaments. The dealer deals the cards slowly, in no hurry, you can talk with your opponents about poker topics and, in general, about life. There is no software in live poker, each player relies only on his experience and the ability to study the style of the opponents' play. There are a lot of moments that, unfortunately, online poker will never be able to convey.

Live tourneys are way more exciting from a memorable standpoint. If I win a live tournament I'm gonna remember it for the entire rest of my lifetime. I remember each and every live win (not that I have a ton of them but enough to satisfy) just like its a recording on a DVD disc.
But online tournaments are simply not memorable. Even my biggest online scores are nothing but a blur and (maybe, if i bothered to save it) a text file with the hand history.
It's all obviously due to the fact that we can only play one live tournament at a time, but if we're playing online we can almost always have multiple tournaments running at the same time... live tournaments are "high quality" from a "memorable" standpoint, while online tournaments are "high quantity" meaning very few of them are the least bit worth remembering. Life is just one long poker session, right?

I was so into Live games, I used to run a weekly game at my local Pub. We regularly had 3 tables going and once we ran a special Bounty Hunter game near Christmas and we had 5 tables of 8 playing for a total prize pool of £500.
£100 in bounties and £400 in the prize pool for the top 5 players. It was a huge success and many of the players wanted to run one every month but the extra £100 for bounties was given by the Landlord and said he would not be doing it every month, Once a year for a Christmas treat was enough.

Oh!) I prefer online tournaments, because I always have mobile with me) Offline is interesting and I know who prefer its. But for me online better because of-multitabling, fast speed, can play with mobile and different types of tournaments and games)
