I would say internet connection, nothing sucks more than having a great streak/hand going on and then lose it all because you lost access.

Some other downsides of online poker are no social talk and need for a steady internet link. Tech problems and possible delay can also change game play

That technical and network issues is a very big drawback of playing poker online. You probably have developed a strategy and a sudden network glitch causes the game to be disrupted. And before everything is back working again, you might have forgotten the strategy. It is happened to me several times playing poker online.
