It is a little difficult to choose between online poker and live poker because both of them have their own appeal. When you're looking for speed, you might have to go with online poker. It gives you variety and convenience to play from anywhere, but you would definitely miss out on reading your opponent face-to-face. On the other hand, live poker has that electric atmosphere that cannot be replicated elsewhere. The table talk and the pressure of chips stacked in front of you are the experiences you get in live poker. What's your choice?
 
Prefer live. I feel I play a more solid game in person, I'm more disciplined.

I like to be on live poker rather than online as well. Online is pretty fast, but sitting at a real table feels way more intense, and you can actually remember the hands.
 
Live poker for a myriad of reasons. A few being physical tells, which are not available online. That is the most important as poker is a game of people as much as it is cards. Online isn't even close. It's more of poker turned to video game. Also, I enjoy playing with my chips at the table. :)
 
I prefer playing online poker over live poker.
 
I mostly play online. That's because I don't have friends and family who player poker, so I cannot play live even if I want to.
 
I prefer live poker over online poker. With live poker, there is greater excitement with real time pressure that live poker brings. If you are a very observant player, you can use the body language and reactions of the opponents to your advantage. That isn't a feature in online poker.
 
Personally, I don't have any problem with playing either online or live poker. The most important thing is to know how to win whenever I'm playing. But as a matter of convenience, playing online poker is more of what I get into.
 
To be honest I don't play poker but if I did,I think I'd probably prefer online poker for the convenience factor. You can play from home whenever you want without having to travel or deal with the pressure of people staring at you in person.
 
Even though I have played online, I mostly prefer live poker. I play with friends and family. It is lot of fun if you playbwith friends and family
 
I prefer online poker for day-to-day grinding because I can relax at home, but live poker is definitely more fun.
Yeah, it's the convenience of playing online poker that makes most people fancy it so much more. They don't have to leave home or their comfort zone to play, have fun and win money.
 
I would think playing online would be easier because you don't have to keep up with your "poker face" and all that like you would if you were playing in person. I'm more of an introverted person so I'd prefer playing online as opposed to in person.
