Online or live poker?

[Patria2288]

Good afternoon
Those who have played both would like to know your opinions on the matter.
What do they think of each one?
In which are the players most aggressive?
Do you tend to believe that they're always bluffing more often?
Do strategies change? or do they maintain the same line?

I have little experience playing MTT online, yet I would like to try live poker sometime.

Greetings.

Many more hands are played in online poker and aggression is welcome here in live poker, fewer hands are played and the game is slower bluffing there, too, less often between them, of course, live poker is better

Online Poker is obviously more accessible but nothing beats winning live showdowns or a whole tournament

i never played live, i think it will be hard to calculate and check the stacks of the players like we can see in BB on online poker.

They are two completely different types of games. Online in tournaments you will find many more players than live, more aggressive and many players who play just for fun and this makes it more difficult for you to decide their style of play. While live you face less players and in general they are not as aggressive as online and you will also find players who only play for fun but nothing like seeing the players face to face. In both you can maintain a similar style of play but online you must be a little more aggressive in order to add chips as quickly as possible due to the number of players playing. But the truth for me live tournaments are better than online tournaments.

On average you will find more better players online than live. The biggest differences is the speed of the game. Live levels maybe longer time wize but you play so many less hands per levels.

I prefer to play poker online, it allows me to play more tables at the moment and play on various poker sites, although I would like to play a live tournament one day

I enjoy both online and live poker. They both have their benefits. I like the privacy of online poker and on occasion enjoy live poker- it’s nice to physically stack chips and be engaged in a social setting.

Unfortunately, I only play live poker very rarely and that in a private poker round. Live poker may only be offered by Casino austria anymore. Since the tournament structure is very poor and cash game is only played from 5-10, this is out of the question for me. Before that time, I often played small 25, - tournaments several times a week in a card casino. With a few exceptions, a very soft field of players and therefore a lot of ITM.
Every type of player is represented in the home games. From rock nit to manica gamblers. It's still a lot of fun though, especially since we only play for small money.

they a very similar, except for the speed, and you can see the players, how they act.
And the rake, travle expenses and tips, makes it more expensive to play live.

offline it is much slower, but if there are interesting people at the table, then it is more interesting to play

You'll enjoy live play...it's also much better to learn the game when playing live.


30 hands an hour on average and plenty of time to act, work out your opponents ranges and actions.

10 sec timer is bollocks. I haven't even got through the combinations and it annoys Ppl when I let my timer tick down.

And they bully me with throwables. all the time

I only play live poker in a private poker round with friends. that's not the same (it's for fun and catch some friends for poker) and it's very different to play online.

online of course, you can play many tournaments at the time
