Real poker in a casino is definitely the best way to go. The stakes are good, the action is right in front of you, there are no disconnection issues, and nothing beats feeling the chips riffle through your fingers.

Problem with real poker is the amount of money required to play on a regular basis. For example, my local casino spreads only 5-10 Limit, 10-20 Limit, and 10-20 Omaha. They have just started spreading 1-2 NL finally, but before that the game didn't appeal to me. Their tournaments are far superior - my fav is a $50+$10 turbo that has a cap of 40 players at one time and late registration goes one hour.


Home games are next but I find these the most difficult as they require an immense amount of planning and coordination, and, tend to be for stakes that aren't going to break your bankroll. Definitely a good night of fun.


Online is where I practice my game. The stakes are hard to get excited about if you played at the casino last, but any time I want to play I can.

Real poker is a social game in this its main advantage before playing on the Internet.
It's certainly interesting to play live, but online is somehow more customary, and it's not necessary to go anywhere

Both, but...

Live play in person is great and exciting but I love playing online because I won't get pulled over on the way to bed!

I have made a lot more money playing online and tend to run better online too. I was too young to play live when i started playing online so i think I just had a more comfortable feel with it. I'm not saying I don't love playing live though!!

I have enjoyed both, but online is easier to get a lot of practice. I think you need to do both these days.

Live poker is extraordinarily softer than online poker.

I never played live poker in casino, only at home with friends. So it's hard for me to compare online and offline. I like online poker and play it almost every day. But I think the real poker is live poker in a casino and I'd love it more.

Poker platforms do not care about their customers, and give advantages overhuman for generating volume and rake. But the game's soul was lost, in my opinion, They should have tables for HUDs and tables for anonimous like is already made on other platforms. I guess this would be more atractive and fair for recreational players.

I don’t enjoy live poker. I don’t like casinos and you don’t see enough hands per hour. I do play with friends occasionally, but that’s a completely different experience than playing in a tournament at a casino.

I play both, I play live poker to socialize with my friends, and online poker is my true passion, I like online poker because I can look for tournaments that fit me and play at the time I want and where I want.

There is absolutely no comparison ! Live Poker 100% over online, I have never worried about being cheated while playing in a real poker room unlike having that feeling every time i venture on line for a game.
The poker room I play at is Playground Poker

I like "live" poker, but I prefer online more. Playing on the Internet, I feel more comfortable. Yes, there is a difference. You can play several tables online at once. There's always a game. You can choose different disciplines.

I particularly like to play poker online, I feel super good. Mainly be part of this reputable forum that allows us to participate in the Freeroll's quality.

Online poker is more affordable. You do not need to go to Las Vegas.

You can play online almost at any time and almost from anywhere in the world.
